Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! What a whirlwind of a holiday we had! We first celebrated with Nana and Papa at home, then headed on down to Orting with Nana's side of the family and then continued to Longview to celebrate with Daddy's family. I got lots of fun new toys and clothes! Thank you again to everyone!


I got this really cool box from Nana and Papa that plays music and does things related to the music...as you can see I wasn't a fan of Pop Goes the Weasel!


I enjoyed the Wheels on the Bus much more!


Hmmmm....I think I'll sample the boxes!

Nine Months!

I am officially 3/4 of a year old this weekend! I'm still not walking on my own (which Mommy and Daddy are thankful for!) but I get around pretty good when holding onto things. I still don't have any teeth but manage to eat my fair share of Cheerios and fruits without them. I can't wait to eat everything on my own!

The fridge is my favorite thing to get into!


Mmmmm....pears are yummy!

Santa Train!

This weekend we got to go on the Santa Train! It was a lot of fun getting together with our friends to ride the train but there was a lot of waiting around. We also got to go over to the Worsleys afterwards for dinner where I had lots of fun playing with everyone! For additional pictures from our day check out their blog. Before the Santa Train we went to pick out our Christmas tree. The following day I "helped" Mommy decorate it. Its very pretty!


Hooray! I'm waiting for the train!


Still waiting....


The girls waiting for the train


The train is here!


All aboard!


The Hoveys and Worsleys on their way to visit Santa


Waiting for Santa....I started to get a little tired of all the waiting so I got my binkie


Once my binkie fell on the ground I got my toy while I continued to wait patiently for Santa


Finally we get to see Santa!


Ok - I no longer want to see him!


At least I got this cool train whistle for all the waiting around I did


Picking out our Christmas tree


Daddy wondering if this is the last tree he has to hold out for us to see


Oooooohhhh...pretty lights!

First Snow!

We got our first major snowfall of the season on the first of December. It was SOOOOOO fascinating! I had fun watching the flakes fall! Mom and I also started in decorating for the holidays and I even went to meet Santa. He's a little scary but as long as he didn't talk I didn't mind him holding me :)

My family in the snow


Hey guys! Look! More snow! Can we go check it out?


Hmmmm....ok so maybe its not as much fun out here as I thought it'd be...


Can we go in? My nose is getting cold!
