Bounce U

We had our first experience at a "bouncy place"! 

My friend turned 4 and I got invited to his birthday party! 

It was SO much fun!

We had to hear all the rules before we went in.

Then it was time for pizza.  Good thing because we all worked up quite an appetite!

Such a big girl at the table with all the big kids!

Then my favorite part of any birthday...singing Happy Birthday and having yummy cake!!

Mommy's Birthday

We kicked off the celebration to Mommy's Birthday

with dinner at the Melting Pot the night before.

The chocolate was my favorite part!

The next day, while Mommy was at work, Daddy and I

decorated the house and made a birthday card for her.

As soon as she walked in the door, Whaley and I ran up and gave her a big birthday hug!

Then I couldn't wait to show her the card I made!

Then Daddy made the BEST ribs EVER!

I helped Mommy blow out the candles and enjoyed some yummy cake!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

(and Grandma too!)

New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve we went to Uncle Jim and Aunt Kerry's house.

Uncle Jim turned his downstairs into "Club Jim" with a

dance floor, glow sticks, strobe lights and a fog machine!

Yummy steak and lobster tail dinner!



A little break from "Club Jim".

Break is over!

We broke up the dance floor and played baseball!

Then we made a house out of their new TV box!

Jammie time!

And that's as far as I made it!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Playing with Christmas Toys

The newlyweds were not around Christmas evening,

so I invited them over for a special playdate with all my new toys.

All my babies: 

Baby Two-Five, Baby Patti Cakes, and the twin babies I already had Baby Emma and Christian!

I tried on Aunt Kerry's boots!

Uncle Jim made me my own throne out of blocks! 

I cooked them dinner.

Uncle Jim tried to show me a few tricks in the kitchen...

But, I'm not so sure he really knew what he was doing!

Time for desert!

Thanks Kerry & Jim for coming over to play!



Christmas Day

Christmas morning was the best! 

Mommy had to remind me what day it was,

but as soon as she said, "Santa",

I could hardly wait to see what he left for us under the tree!

I came out to a room full of family (and cameras)!

A Princess House!!!

Like a good hostess, I immediately invited everyone in!

Santa also left a new baby doll.  I named her, Baby Two-Five. 

Mommy notes: I have no idea!

Santa also left lots of yummy treats!

And he ate the ones I left for him.

I just couldn't believe all that Santa had done, this was the best day ever!

We took a break from playing with all the new toys

to enjoy a yummy french toast breakfast with my wonderful family!

Then it was time for MORE PRESENTS!!!

Daddy got his very own Ipad!

I got a new light up toothbrush.

And I used it on Baby Two-Five.

And rocking horses for Baby Two-Five and I.

And Blocks!

We chatted with far-away and much missed family on our Ipads.

Then it was time for an intermission in our day. 

We took naps, regrouped, and headed to Nana & Papa's for the evening.

Of course, Baby Two-Five came!

Then I noticed something under Nana and Papa's tree...

A beautiful double stroller for Baby Two-Five!

We ate a fabulous dinner of filet minon, ham, 

mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, and much more!

I danced!

And then, would you believe it...more presents!

Another baby doll for Baby Two-Five to share the double stroller with!

She later got named, Baby Patty Cakes for those of you wondering!

Grumpy gave everyone "backscratchers"!

And he showed off his new Toe-Shoes.

But the BEST part of Christmas was being around

family and sharing tons of good times and lots of great laughs!

Thank you everyone for making my Christmas so wonderful!

Now, goodnight!

Merry Christmas!
