2008 Holidays

As we celebrate the new happenings of 2009, I'd like to take a look back at 2008 and share some of my favorite holiday memories with you!
Here I am with all of my cousins in daddy's family on Thanksgiving. I sure love spending time with all of them!

Yum yum! I ate corn, potatoes, and turkey, but I made sure to save room for some pumpkin pie... I ate a whole slice!

I especially enjoy my time with Buster. Some people think he is my favorite "person" in the family!

We made Christmas cookies in my play group. Here I am with my friend Breonna. Our favorite part of the process was cleaning with the wet rags!
I also helped mommy make Christmas cookies at home. I loved stirring the batter, roling the snickerdoodles, and of course taste testing everything!
Checking in on the cookies Are they done yet?
This is a sugar rush of a smile. Mmmm chocolate!!!
Elijah turned 1 in November and Uncle Phil, Aunt Anna, and he moved to Peoria. I miss them an awful lot, but I still LOVE and talk about my cousin Elijah every day!
Here's a picture of my mommy and daddy on Christmas Eve. The one of all 3 of us together turned out blurry =(.

 Santa brought me an easel for Christmas!!!
It makes a fantastic tunnel and is great for playing hide-n-seek!

I also received a new dresser for Christmas. Look at me in my big girl room!
Happy New Year!!!

Here I am on the bars at my last class of my first semester at The Little Gym. I am still apprehensive to do many of the activities. At the beginning of the semester I would not go near the bars, and now I love to hang from them on my own. But I will only use the bars if nobody else touches me or tries to make me do anything new!

Sitting with my class waiting to receive our medals
Showing off my first medal! GG's birthday was January 14th, and we took her out to Olive Garden. 4 generations enjoyed Italian food and chocolate cake!
In January, I took my first bus ride with my school class to Sesame Street Live. Daddy took he day off work to take me.

I loved dancing to the music!

Getting ready to play in the first big snow of the year. I picked out my own hat to wear!

Taste test! Brr, it's cold!!!
