Two more Christmas'...

Because Mommy and Daddy's parents all live so close...I got three Christmas' all in one day. :) At Nana and Papa's, I got a special new kitchen to play with in my room. At Gram and Papa's house, I got two purses and some special books. I was really tired at the end of the day, but Mommy says I was an angel. But before we left, we took a special family picture together...don't we look good??

Christmas at our home...

The most wonderful thing happened this morning when I got up! I was finally allowed to touch all the pretty packages under the Christmas tree! The most amazing thing I found was my new baby doll! She came with a cradle, a stroller and a carrier/carseat. She doesn't have a name, but I call her "baby" and we're having fun together. Then I helped Daddy open some more presents, and got all dressed up for the day. Something I don't really understand yet is that bump on Mommy's belly, but it looks pretty neat, doesn't it? :)

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we went to church and then to Candy's house for some food and fun. :) I got a neat phone from Candy, and Mommy and Daddy got a special ornament for the tree. You wouldn't believe all the wonderful food and presents they have. Certainly a Merry Christmas for them...

Shannon's Christmas Brunch!!

All I can say is "Yummy"! I think this might be Daddy's favorite meal of the year. We all went to Shannon and Bruce's house for brunch and a gift exchange today. I sat in Gabbi's high chair and got to eat all kinds of yummy things. Then Gabbi and I played with toys and even went outside because it was such a nice day. I think it was a great morning...

Happy Birthday Daddy!

These pictures are from Daddy's birthday. I know it doesn't look like it...because it was also the day that we went with Gram and Papa to get their Christmas tree. I had fun running around among the trees and playing with rocks in the mud. I think my Daddy looks great in red...

Mommy and Daddy

Here's a good picture of what my Mommy and Daddy look like these days. :) After getting our Christmas tree all decorated, they went out for Mommy's 10 year H.S. reunion. Don't they look great? Almost as good as our tree...

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Not a really exciting day for me, and I don't like the food much, but I had fun playing with Aunt Janell, and getting all dressed up. :)

Our Christmas Tree!!

Today we got our Christmas Tree! Yes, a little early...but things are so busy we didn't have much choice. Mommy and Daddy have things to do all weekend, so we got the tree before Thanksgiving. Now we'll be able to decorate it when we have the time. It was rainy and cold, so I played in a fun little car while Mommy and Daddy found the tree. They got soaked, but I was the one who got upset about it all...oh well.

Someday they'll learn...

If you can't hear me...you better find me. :) This morning Mommy got me out of my crib to let me play. She and Daddy stayed in bed to rest some more...big mistake. I found the refill bag of baby wipes and decided to take them all out. They're even better than a roll of toilet paper because they come apart so easy and I can lay them all over the floor like a rug. :)

Happy Halloween!!

A pink poodle!!! This is the only picture where I'm not crying about being dressed up like an oversized, frilly rat. Mommy and Daddy were pretty sure that I wouldn't be excited about getting dressed up this year, and I sure wasn't. I don't understand what all the fuss is about and I'd much rather just be me...in my favorite jeans in Mama's chair. :)

Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival!

Another great annual trip out to HMB to walk the street and then look at all the great big pumpkins. I sat in my stroller almost the whole day until we got to the pumkin patch and maze later on. That was my favorite part. I got to run in a little corn field and try to pick up all the pumpkins I could find. I loved it when Mommy and Daddy chased me. I even got to play in the dirt a little...and that doesn't happen very often. ;-)

My First Hair Cut!!

Auntie Kirsten gave me my first haircut today! I was starting to have a bit of a mullet...but I don't know what that is. Mommy said something about letting the top catch up with the bottom. She looked a little sad though and said something about my "precious little curls". I didn't mind the process too much...I got to eat graham crackers the entire time.

Pumpkin Patch Day!!!

Today we went to Moore's Pumpkin Patch in Pleasanton!! I like the pumpkins and I'm trying really hard to say the word, but it may take me a while longer. I really liked the wagons they had and once I had one to drag around, I could hardly pay attention to anything else. But don't we make a cute little family??

Such a Big Girl!!

Yum! I love In'N'Out!! I've recently discovered that I like burgers and I really like "fies"! This was one of my very first burgers to eat all by myself.

Serious or silly?

I just can't decide who I am going to be...a serious student who loves books, or perhaps the class clown who likes to be a bit goofy?? Fancy Nancy is still one of my favorite books and I like having it read to me almost every day. And almost every day after my bath I like to run around upstairs naked and play in front of the mirror.

The Annual Elu Party

It just wouldn't be September without a trip to Napa. This time Stephen and Michelle and Candi joined us, even though it was a really hot day. I just wanted to hide under my hat...and there was no way I was taking a nap...it was too much fun to be cute. :)

Happy Birthday Uncle Colin!

Oh, but it is soooooooo hot!!!! We had a nice dinner and time with your friends today for your birthday and I'm so glad you're my uncle. Sorry I never looked at the camera and sorry about all the M&Ms under your sofa and sorry about all the baby proofing you had to do. But see...now you're ready to have a cousin for me! ;-)

Guess what???

I'm going to be a big sister!!!!! So cool!! Mommy doesn't feel very good...but I'm excited!! :)

Time for Great-Grandma Corstorphine's Memorial

I didn't get to go on this trip because the boat wasn't safe...but it was an important day for Mommy and for her family. These are all of Mommy's Aunts and Uncles (with Aunt Cecily missing) and of course my Grandpapa. This picture of Mommy kind of looks like maybe she has a secret too...what do you think???

Happy Birthday Pa-paw!

Today was not just the Fourth of July, but Pa-Paw's birthday too!!!  We had a quiet day at his house, now that we are all moved in to our new place in Pleasanton.  I finally got more of Mommy and Daddy's attention than the boxes do. :)  I liked Pa-Paw's cake too and had to try really hard not to put my hands in it. 

All done!!!

Here it is...our new place...and all moved in...just 2.5 days!!!!!! Go Mommy and Daddy!!!

Moving Day!!!!

Ahhhhh...home sweet home...#32 at Pleasanton Place. :) I actually never saw it look this way because Mommy and Daddy didn't want me to get upset by the chaos and it being a strange new place... But look...my room was done first! :)
