Christmas Tree Huntin'

This year for our Christmas Tree we went to a tree farm to cut one ourselves

Me and Mommy loading up on the trailer to get deeper into the tree farm

Me and Daddy trying to find the perfect tree

Found it! Just my size. Now, to cut it down. Boy that's hard work, especially when you're trying to cut it down with a stick.

Here I am putting one of my first ornaments on MY tree. One of my requests this year was to have a pink, purple, and blue tree. Mommy and Daddy bought a pretty pink ribbon/weave thingy and put it around the tree for me. I like it!

Daddy said he wanted me to put this picture in here. Nothing Christmassy necessarily, just me being a little sassy :)

Blog Page Refresh

I decided my blog page needed to be freshened up a little bit. Take a look when you have a couple of minutes:

Drop a note if you feel like it too.

Early Santa Visit

Me, Mommy and Daddy visited Santa Claus this past Sunday after church. The line wasn't too bad and I was sitting with Santa in about 20 minutes. They took a couple of pictures with me and Santa and this is about the best I could smile for everyone that day.

Mommy and Daddy asked Santa if I told him what I wanted for Christmas. Santa said "she said something, but I'm not sure what. She was talking very softly". Before I saw Santa I told Mommy and Daddy I was going to ask for a Christmas Tree and a kitchen set.

We'll see what happens . . . . and see if Santa thought I was a good girl this year.

Snopocalypse 2010

Me and Mommy outside for the first snowflakes of the season

Daddy and me catching snowflakes with our tongues (yummy)

Little did we know it would turn out like this . . . .

I know, it's not a lot of snow, right?

This is Tuesday afternoon. I didn't have my camera with me at daycare on Monday to take pictures of this mini blizzard that started coming down. The temperatures have been in the mid 20's for the last couple of days and the teens at night. Snow, cold, wind. That led to the nightmare commute that Mommy and Daddy had to endure on Monday night. They tried 2 different ways of getting to my daycare from downtown Seattle. Mommy leaving at 3:00 and Daddy leaving around 5:00. Mommy finally got to me at 7:30. We picked Daddy up later at 9:00.

Mommy said the highlights of her trip was the "party" bus she was on. A lot of good people with good attitudes that were on a bus that at one time traveled approximately 5 blocks in the span of 2 hours.

Daddy said his highlight was getting off a bus after 2 hours and hiking for about 2 miles in the weather to find a kind bus driver that was using his bus as a taxi.

I didn't mind the wait for one of them to arrive. I had a nice lady at daycare that was going to spend the night with me and 3 of my friends if it took Mommy and Daddy too long to get me. Mommy did get me (only 1 hour after closing) but the nice lady spent the night at daycare anyway. She had to go the opposite way to get home. After hearing the stories of the other parents she decided to just stay there.

Whew! What a day. Bonus: Mommy and Daddy stayed at home on Tuesday for the "snow day" :)

Memphis Trip 2010

A month after my trip to Kansas was my trip to Memphis to see Neenee and Pappy, Mimi, Aunt Heather, and my cousins Sam and Ben. Turns out Halloween took place while I was there. What luck!

This is our annual "eating vacation" so we had a lot of good food while we were there. Ben and Sam also showed us the best place to go trick-or-treatin'. Their neighborhood. We got a ton of candy there!
