3rd Birthday!

We celebrated my 3rd birthday a week early this year because we weren't sure when my little brother was going to arrive.

First, we went to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch. I had lots of fun with Grandma, Grammy, Grampa, Daddy, and Mommy. It was super crowded, but we ate pizza and played lots of fun games.

Then we went to Honey and Pop's house for my Princess Party. I loved my Rapunzel cake. I picked it out of the book at the bakery all by myself!

I got to dress up like a princess for my party.

Everyone else had to dress up like a princess or a prince for my party, too!

Finally, it was time for cake and ice cream!

I made a wish and blew out my candles!

I had so much fun on my party day.

That much fun made me a very tired THREE year old girl!

Snow Day 2011!

Mommy and I wore our snow socks last night, hoping for a a snow day. And guess what! IT WORKED!

It started snowing last night after I went to sleep, and it snowed all night long!

We finally got to go out to play in the snow this morning.

It was SOOO cold!

(I had to wear Mommy's gloves, because one of my mittens is lost!)

I made a snow angel. It was kind of hard because a layer of ice had formed on top of the soft snow. You can tell by the look on my face in this picture that I'm not too sure about lying down in the snow!

After a snowball fight, snow angel, and a feeble attempt at building a snowman we came back inside to warm up.

The only thing better than snuggling on the couch inside the warm house on a snow day? ...

Updating the blog!

Be sure to keep scrolling down, because I've done 4 or 5 posts today!

Christmas Morning 2010!

When I woke up on Christmas morning, I was SO excited to go downstairs to see if Santa Claus had visited my house.

Waiting to go downstairs

Here I go...

He ate the cookies!!!

This is all for me!?

I played with each of my new toys.

I think Mommy had more fun with some of them...

My favorite new backpack! I'm also wearing my Snow White dress that I have lived in since Christmas (well it's a tie between that dress and the Minnie Mouse dress Honey and Pop gave me)!

What a super fun Christmas!

Christmas Celebrations!

Here are a "few" pictures from Christmas 2010:

I baked and decorated cookies with Honey, Bess, and Mommy.

This is Christmas Eve at Honey and Pop's house. We had a yummy brunch and lots of fun family time. You would never know I had a fever of 102.7 in these pictures (nobody knew until I said, "I'm tired." Then they knew something must be wrong!)!

On Christmas Day, we went to Grandma's house for lunch and more family fun time.

We had a White Christmas!

The day after Christmas, we braved the snowy roads (it wasn't really that bad) and headed to Locust Grove for some more family Christmas fun. Here I am doing a Christmas scavenger hunt with the cousins!

I practiced being a big sister. I really enjoyed reading books to Lane.

Two days after Christmas, we were still celebrating with Grammy and Grampa, Aunt Kat, Uncle Matthew, Uncle Thomas, and Andrew! We had MORE family fun time!

I really enjoyed celebrating Jesus' birthday this year. In fact, two weeks after Christmas, I still say, "And thank you for Jesus' birthday," every time I say a blessing or prayer!

Santa Visit(s) 2010!

I visited Santa Claus THREE times this Christmas! We went to the mall so I could tell him what I wanted for Christmas. I said, "Books." That's it. Just books.

Then we went to Pigeon Forge with Honey and Pop. And guess who was at the go-cart track!?

And, finally I saw him again when we visited a store called "Santa's Claus-et." I even saw him write my name in the "Nice" book!

Parent Watch Day at Ballet!

Mommy and Daddy got to come watch my ballet class in December. They really enjoyed taking a lot of pictures!
