Playing Dress-Up

This was the first time Mom has ever been able to put my hair in pig-tails. Mom was so excited, but I didn't really care.

Here is that face again!!

Addison's mom, Michelle, got me a tutu for Christmas. I'm practicing my ballerina moves.

My mom got me dress-up shoes for Christmas so I was prancing around the house in my tutu and heals!!

Christmas Day

It was so nice to spend Christmas at home this year. Grandpa Ron was able to drive in and spend a few days with us. It was fun having tea parties, and having him "baby-sit" my babies while I went and played with other toys. He looked pretty silly with all the babies sitting on his lap!! There was even snow on the ground but I didn't feel well enough to get out and make a snow man with Daddy.

CHEESE!! I know that Santa left me some good stuff under the tree, I just have to finish breakfast before I can go see what it is.

What could be in the bottom of this stocking? Mom put tons of play fruit in my stocking for me to play with in my kitchen.

Yeah Mickey Mouse!!

I love it when I hear the alphabet song, it always makes me smile. Mom and I love to sing that song in the car. I know lots of my letters already.

Here I am relaxing on Dad. It wasn't long after this that I went back to bed and slept from 10am to 3pm. I didn't really feel that well all day.

Christmas in Wichita

Last weekend we went to Wichita to celebrate Christmas with our family. I had so much fun playing with my cousins, and opening all my presents.

Even though it was pretty cold Brayden and I played basketball outside while we waited from Grandma to come home.

While we were out looking at Christmas lights we stopped by to see Santa. I didn't really want anything to do with him or his wife. But I did get just close enough to get a candy cane from Mrs. Clause

I sure did enjoy the candy cane that I got from Mrs. Clause.

I found this xylophone in Grandma's toy room (I think my mom used to play with it). I thought that the perfect place to play music was in the middle of the kitchen even though it was full of people cooking dinner. Grandma didn't mind.

What a great family picture! My mom just loves the new CHEESE face!!

Here I am with my cousins Kourtnee, Brayden, Konnor, and Hayleigh

This is our family that celebrated Christmas with us at my Grandma's house.

Eating cereal

Mom turned around this morning and caught me drinking the milk from my cereal bowl. This is something that I picked up from watching Dad.

I had to get every last drop of milk.

I got this new bouncy-ball and it is so much fun. I love to bounce back and forth between the kitchen and family room. What a funny face!!

Tacky Sweater Party

Mom and Dad hosted a Tacky Christmas Sweater party this year.

Here is a group shot of some guests at the party. Don't they look funny in their sweaters?!! Daddy made his sweater, it had lights and iron-on decals, it looked pretty funny.

This is my new CHEESE face!

In the snow

We finally got to play in the snow, but it was really cold. It took me awhile to get the hang of it but then I really liked it.

We tried making snow balls but the snow was too dry.

I was ready to get out of all this snow gear, but playing outside was fun.

Here is our house with all the christmas lights up and covered in snow. My Daddy did a great job hanging lights this year. Maybe next year he will be brave enough to light the highest peak!!

Indiana

Last weekend we decided to drive to Indiana to see everyone. First we stopped by Grammy and Papi's house then drove to Grandpa Ron's house where he was cooking us spaghetti. Grandpa Ron has a new cat named Nadine. Even though I pretend to not like animals I did follow Nadine around all weekend. I even leaned in and gave her a kiss on her nose as we were leaving. No body could believe that I actually got that close.

I was just checking to make sure they didn't stink. They didn't, but we can't say the same about Daddy's feet.

I love playing with my feet.

Giving Grandpa Ron a big kiss!

Playing scrabble is Daddys' favorite thing to do with Grammy and Papi. He enjoys it even more when he wins!!

That's me and my Papi. He kept getting me with his cane. We had so much fun visiting everyone in Indiana

Taking care of my babies

I take care of these babies as if they were my own children. I make sure that they are fed, and changed before I put them to bed every night.

Hanging out with Daddy!!

Daddy and I have been playing together a lot lately. I look forward to him coming home every day and getting to play with him until bathtime. I love my Daddy!!

I love being way up high, I am so lucky that my Dad is so tall!!

We finally fixed that wobbly chair. He couldn't have done it without my help.

Here we are baking cookies for Mommy. I'm not sure who ate more dough me or Daddy!!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a cuddlier. This is probably the first time since I was really little that I have laid with Daddy for more than 2 seconds. He did have to bribe me with a movie, but it was still nice laying with him for a while.

Santa and Frosty

These are my two friends Santa and Frosty. I love to drag them around the house. I always stand them side by side then pose next to them and say "CHEESE MOMMY", and try to get Mommy to take our picture.

More pictures of me and my friends. I have been putting them side by side and going and getting my play phone and taking our picture myself. I stick the phone out really far and bend down and put my head in the "picture".

Now I say "picture please", I even tell Santa, "Santa Cheese".

Thanksgiving in Wichita

We had a great weekend in Wichita. My Uncle Gregg and cousin Elena flew in from Phoenix and my Grandpa Ken and Grandma Lynn flew in from South Carolina to spend the weekend with us.

As we were getting ready to head back to Olathe we had to wait for Aunt Kimberly to get to Grandma's house. But while we waited we got to play in the snow from the night before.

Here is Daddy and my Great Uncles, Frank and Gregg, having a snowball fight. No one was really prepared for the snow so their hands were freezing by the time they were done.

Aunt Kimberly finally got to Grandma's house. Brayden and I got to play outside for a little bit longer while everything got loaded into the cars.

Here is Konnor, Aunt Kimberly, and I asleep on the way back to Olathe. We had a long but fun weekend!!

First Snow

As it first started to snow we sat at the window and watched it come down. We didn't think that it was gonna stick since the day before it was 75 degrees here. But some of it actually stuck to the ground and I was able to go outside and kinda play in the snow for the first time in Kansas.

I caught a couple snowflakes in my mouth.

And I tried to catch snowflakes with my hands. I can't wait until it really snows and we are able to go sledding!!
