Going to a Birthday Party

Saturday February 5th, Party Time!!

Hello friends! I am all dressed up in my new party dress. I'm on my way to see the Jackson family and celebrate my friend, Ashlee's 2cd Birthday!!
Ashlee is about 7 mths older then me. I hope I will learn a lot from her when I visit there. I hear she can speak in sentences now, and can speak pretty clearly. Although I am saying words and putting 2 words together, it's no where close to a full sentence. I like to stick with one or two word phrases. I hope she'll understand me. I mainly use sign language and say the sounds of words, like "Juice", "Eat", "Cheese", & "Bubbles".

I got Ashlee a new outfit, training pants (because she is potty training), and BUBBLES!!
I kind of thought I could let her open the gift, and then I could take the bubbles back with me. I stand corrected! My Mommy said "Those are a gift for Ashlee and we have our own at home".

After I warmed up to everyone, Ashlee and I ran around and giggled, and played with her new gifts. We ate tacos, mac & cheese, and a Hello Kitty Strawberry Birthday cake, with chocolate ice cream. That was the best!! Yummy!

I found out Ashlee is going to be a big sister to a baby girl by June!! Yippy!

My Mommy & and I had a wonderful time! I didn't want to leave, but it was way way past my nap time and it was getting snowy outside. I ended up falling asleep at 6pm and didn't wake up until 4am!! Then I went back to bed at 5am til 7:30am Sunday morning. Mommy says I was really warn out after partying hard!

Thank you for a great time Jackson family!!! Happy 2cd Birthday Ashlee!!!

Christmas In Ohio

Yes folks, I have family and friends all over the US.
After seeing everyone in IL., we gathered at my Grandma L's to celebrate the Holidays as well as my Aunt Katie & Uncle Brent's Baby Shower. Only a few weeks later, Cousin Luke was born. (Jan. 17th 2011 6lbs 19.5"L)

In these next pictures you'll see me having fun with my new Kitchen set from Santa. I even shared with my little cousin (who is bigger then me) Noah. Noah is only a day younger then my Cousin Teagan in IL. They are equally fun to play with!
Also joining us for our festivas was my Cousin Max, Meredith & Morgan. Max came all the way from FL. I go to the same school with Morgan & Meredith. Since I was out of school for 2 weeks, I really missed them!
Thanks for all the wonderful Gifts and it was so nice to see you all again!
We can't wait to meet Cousin Luke Laugesen!!!

Shhhh.. I'm on the phone!

Would anyone like some tea?

Typical! The women is in the kitchen and the man is out playing with his car! Mommy said "Get used to it Kid! This is the way the cookie crumbles!" Would anyone care for a cookie? I can bake them in my kitchen!

Christmas In Illinois

Here We are. The Whole Gang!

I had so much fun seeing all my family and friends in IL. for Christmas this year! Thank you everyone for making the holidays so special!

Brunch With Santa

Brunch with Santa was a sponsered event by my school's PTO. Everyone brought a delicious dish to share and a gift for child in need.

Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus came to visit. I was the first kid they saw. When I took one look at him I cried my eyes out! Then this big red, bearded fellow tried to take me from my Mommy!
Along with the over whelming crowd of people, I cried for about an hour. I wouldn't let anyone put me down. I did calm down when I got food.

Eventually I warmed up to the crowd. In the end, I went up BEHIND that big red jingling fellow and got my picture taken.
I didn't like that guy! I'm told not to be afraid because he brings gifts to all the good boys and girls each Christmas. I'm skeptical.

I had fun once I saw my cousins Meredith and Morgan.

Later that night we went to Morgan's house and made a plate for Santa's Cookies. We also exchanged cookies. We got 2 plates of yummy cookies that I don't even think I'll eat. I prefer fruit and veggies.


Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Let's Deck the Halls!

Deck the Halls Everyone!!

It's time to put up the tree! I see so many pretty decorations. I helped put up the ornaments and snow flakes. I was excited to help with the snow flakes because in school I've been learning about snow. We played with a cup of snow from outside, and shook ice in our sensory bottles.

Grandma R sent me a really cute snow man ornament with my name on it! So Daddy helped me hang it on the tree.

Now I'm learning not to touch the tree. "No touch" is what I hear all day.

I can't wait til Christmas!

My Seat at Thanksgiving dinner

This is my seat for thanksgiving day. There weren't enough chairs for my booster seat, so I got placed on the floor over my plastic rug. I sat right next to Grandma. It was pretty cool! So long as my plate kept getting filled up. Guess how many olives I ate? I can't even tell you. I think it's the Italian in me. I love love love olives!

Thanksgiving 2010

It's been such a fun Holiday Season so far!

Thanksgiving was awesome! I discovered my new favorite Holiday, because I get to eat eat eat!

Grandma cooked all day! The house was filled with so many yummy smells. It was too hard to take my nap. Mom and Dad had to take me for a car ride to get me to take a nap.

Once we got home I started to color. I love coloring!

For dinner, I sat with Grandma in my big girl chair and filled my plate with so much yummy food! I asked for 3rds!

Mommy changed my clothes a few times because I made a few messes. Mainly from drooling.

This Thanksgiving I was thankful for all of my family and the yummy food! Thank you everyone!
