Nov & Dec 2012

Here's a few random pictures from November & December:

Mommy & Daddy are starting to get things ready in the baby's room.

They took the crib out of my room and gave me this GIANT bed!!

I was snacking on my goldfish and thought my animals needed a snack too!

(And that's my "cheese" face!)

Mommy made this really cool garage for my cars!

I wouldn't stop playing with the ornaments on Mommy & Daddy's tree, so they put a little one up just for me. I got to put garland on it and add the ornaments, including my favorite - the bells! We'll see if I let Mommy & Daddy take it down after Christmas!

I've gotten really excited about Christmas this year! We've watched a few of the traditional shows and I've gotten my holiday books out as well. My favorite is Rudolph and this Frosty book that Aunt Molly got me a couple years ago. I listen to it over and over again. Sometimes I find it in random places - I think Mommy & Daddy like to hide it from me!

 Gramma & Papa stopped by on their way down to Branson.

Papa and Mommy started some annual holiday baking! YUMM!

 All the kids got to go on stage at church and sing Away in a Manger.

I was more interested in the bells they gave us...

 Here's a close-up if you couldn't find me (in the striped sweater).

 And when I wasn't playing with my bell, I was looking behind me at the instruments.

Mommy & I made this wreath with my handprint

Family photos

We took advantage of the great scenery to take some family pics while in Branson.

(And we needed some for the Christmas cards too!)

 

Christmas in Branson

We recently went to Branson to visit Gramma & Grampa for the weekend.
Here's our little cottage we stayed in...
and Papa's new car - I call it Lightning McQueen!

Mommy & Daddy went out Friday night to a show while Gramma & Papa brought me to a Christmas trail of lights. There were SOOOOOO many!!

Look at the Choo Choo!!!

Back home...Jammy time!

We took a morning walk around the village...

and climbed to the top of the lighthouse

I found a car video game in the lobby...

I had fun playing (and I didn't even need any quarters!)

I found more cars at the Outlet while everyone else was shopping.

 That night we went to the Dixie Stampede show.
I LOVED watching all the animals!!
There was a live nativity scene with real animals too!
Here Daddy and I are visiting the horses before the show...

Being silly before the show starts!



Thanksgiving in Colorado

We took a road trip to Colorado with Gramma & Grampa Andreasen to see Aunt Joni, Uncle Colin and cousins Sophia and Amelia. The trip wasn't bad, I got to see lots of animals, fields of windmills and finally the mountains. The weather was beautiful and I got to play A LOT on their swingset in the backyard.

IT WAS SOOOO MUCH FUN!!

I kept climbing to the top and yelling, "All aboard!" or "Wanna come in my house?"

I had such a great time! Now I just need to convince one of my Papa's that I need one at my house!!

We had a great turkey dinner on Thanksgiving. Of course there was tons of food and desserts, but that made up for good leftovers. I most enjoyed sitting at a 'kids table'. I didn't eat much of the food (not surprising), but did think Gramma's homemade rolls were pretty tasty! Apparently everyone else did too as she made more the next day!

 

Amelia helped Gramma make the rolls...I was very curious.

 

We had more family come over for the Nebraska game on Friday. I was a little out numbered by all the little girls playing, but I still played with anything that had wheels. I managed to find the Barbie stuff - a few cars, a motorcycle, and a couple of bicycles. The football game was over in time for me to take a nap while Mommy, Joni & Gramma went out and did a little shopping.

We unwrapped a few presents later that night! It was going to be Amelia's birthday soon, plus their xmas presents from Gramma & Papa. I also got a few birthday presents. I got a really cool hide & seek book (like Where's Waldo), pluse these cars, some truck coloring books, and some counting cards! I liked them all!!!
