12/31/10 - New Years Eve

Uncle Justin, Auntie Erin, Lukas and Kaylee came for a quick visit today.  We had a lot of fun running around.  After dinner, Momma, Daddy, Goy and I went to Grampa & Gramma's to count down until the New Year.  We made it until 10 and then went to bed in our room at Gramma's.  We woke up on January 1st in our own room... How fun!

12/30/10 - A Whole Lotta' Love

Momma told Goy to play with me on the floor today because I didn't want to sit there alone.  And he came and played, and loved, and just made me happy.  Thanks Goy!

12/29/10 - Wrestle Time

Momma found us wrestling on the floor today.  Marion let me love all over her.  It was so much fun!!!

12/28/10 - New Toys

We got to stay home and play with our new toys today.  It was so much fun, and a little overwhelming at times :).

12/27/10 - There's No Place Like Home

We had a very fun Christmas weekend but we were so glad to be home again.  Aunt Patty helped me drink some water like Goy.

After a good nap, I was a happy girl!

After I went to bed, the boys got to snuggle and watch a movie while the parents played hearts.

12/26/10 - And the Day After Christmas

Today we got to head to church with everyone and then go to Aunt Debbie's for another Christmas dinner.

12/25/10 - Merry Christmas

Just like Daddy & Momma said, Santa found us at Grampa & Gramma's house.  He even left us a note because he loved our cookies, next year we'll have to remember the milk too.  After we opened our gifts and stockings from Santa, we got to exchange presents with Lukas and Kaylee, then came the big toys from Grampa & Gramma.  After a big breakfast (Lava Toast... yumm!), we were ready to get some sleep in the car on the way to Granny & Papa's.

Once we got there, it all started again, we got to exchange presents with Freddy and Andrew, and everyone spoiled us good.  Then we got to have a big turkey dinner which was delicious.

12/24/10 - Christmas Eve

Off to G.G. Pa & G.G. Ma's.  It was so much fun.  I actually got to open my presents this year (last year I was so sick I fell asleep on Grampa's shoulder).

12/23/10 - Let it Begin!

It has begun!  Time to open presents.  We got to open our pjs from Momma and Daddy tonight after we had Christmas cookies and put some on a plate for Santa.   Goy dove right in and showed me how to open presents.  It was so much fun (especially chewing on the tissue paper).

12/22/10 - Momma!!!

We just wanted Momma all day long.  It didn't matter if it was snuggling, playing or eating, we just wanted Momma, so she let the house go all to heck and gave us the attention you can see we were starving for.  So neglected ;)

12/21/10 - Stickers & Gramma!

While my friend was over today, Momma got out some nativity stickers she got from a friend (thank you! - you know who you are) so we got to make nativity pictures, with a few snowmen and ornaments mixed in.

While they played with stickers, I got to attack Gramma.  She even snuggled me and put me down for a nap.  It was such a fun surprise to have her over.

And while Goy and I napped, Momma went crazy with bows.  She made all sorts of Christmas bows and let me try them on.  As you can see, I was more than happy to model them for her.

12/20/10 - Tummy Time!

I decided I wanted to have some tummy time with Marion tonight.

And he did just that, he laid down directly across from me and played with me.

"See Marion, the ball looks like it should go in here, but it doesn't, it's too big (Trust me I tried!)"

And this is my new pose.  Momma and Daddy find me like this a lot!

12/19/10 - Cousins

We got to meet our cousins Freddy & Andrew for the first time today.  We also got to meet Uncle Charles and Aunt Patty.

I got Daddy to chase me a lot today,

And I got Papa to try and keep me out of trouble (he he he),

And I sweet-talked Uncle Charles into reading the bible to me.

All I wanted all day was Momma, until she put me on the ground to play with all my cousins.

Freddy and Andrew even stopped for a moment to pose for a picture.

It made me happy!

12/18/10 - New Friends

We've been meaning to have a talk with Momma because she keeps forgetting her camera when we go somewhere fun, so we don't have any proof!!!  Okay, maybe the smiles on our faces is proof enough.

We played with some new friends at their house today.  It was fun decorating little marshmallow snowmen and then playing with all the trains they have.  I was just too excited.  Marion thought the tracks made good teethers :).  Thank you to our new friends for letting us drop in and play!

When we got home, it was time for some serious wrestling...

And then it was time to teach Marion how to play with cars.

She's quite an attentive student!
