Christmas Eve

Mommy and Daddy told me how Santa was going to get into the house on Christmas Eve. I wasn't sure if that was going to work or not but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. They have been through this before (that's what they keep telling me anyway). But before Santa magically made his way inside the house we had cookies to make!

We made gingerbread cookies. Did we have fun . . of course! Was it messy . . . you betcha!!

Were the cookies pretty . . . not so much :)

A new tradition is getting to open one gift on Christmas Eve

I'm laying out the milk and (fudge) for Santa. I have carrots for the reindeer too.

I unlocked the fireplace door for Santa. He forgot to shut it on his way out though. I woke up and the door was wide open!!

Downtown Shopping

We went for a little shopping trip downtown on Saturday. We usually avoid downtown on the weekends since Mommy and Daddy spend enough time down there. But on Christmas we make exceptions, and . . . . there's the carousel of course.

Watching the street performer playing on his plastic drums. He was pretty good and I gave him a tip!

Me and Mommy on the carousel. It went really fast!

Me and Daddy. We all went on the carousel twice. Once when we first got downtown and once before we left.

Anonymous

We had an anonymous comment that someone missed my animals in the top banner of the page. Well, I'm here to please and I put the animals back. We have a double top banner now. Me, Mommy, and Daddy and my critters.

Enjoy Anonymous and thanks for the comment.

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.
