Christmas is Coming!

Last week was busy, and chalk full of fun! We started the week with Story Time, and then went to art class, where I made my very own Christmas ornament. P. Daddy had Thursday and Friday off work, so it has been really nice having him around! My Uncle Thomas and his girlfriend, Kim came up from Austin as well. He and Kim helped me build a yummy gingerbread house! We spent Thanksgiving Day with Nana and Papa, which was really nice. It actually snowed here! Saturday we went to the Siemers and had another Thanksgiving celebration! Sunday, I helped Mommy and P. Daddy decorate the house for Christmas! We sang Christmas songs, had hot chocolate, and lit a fire in the fire place! I helped out a lot!

Turkey Day!

Here I am celebrating Thanksgiving with the Russells. I have SO many things to be thankful for! My family, my friends, the sunshine, Dora, Frisco, and boks, just to name a few!

Gingerbread!

Here I am building the gingerbread house. It didn't work as well as planned (because we were too impatient to wait for it to "set"), so we just ate it!

Hurray!

Here I am playing with P. Daddy at our neighbor's house! I had a BLAST with him in the HUGE pile of leaves! Mommy is feeling MUCH better this week, and so we've been back to our old routine. We attended Story Time, went to art class (and made a turkey magnet), attended a playgroup, spent time with Grandma, learned about Thanksgiving, did yardwork, helped Mommy with Ansley, and more! I am really looking forward to this week, and spending time with Lele, P. Daddy, and Uncle Thomas and Kim!

Fall Fun!

Well, Fall is officially here, although it certainly doesn't FEEL like it where we live! I'm still wearing shorts most days! This weekend, I helped Mommy and P. Daddy with the yardwork. I raked the leaves and even pulled some weeds. As a reward, I got to jump into the pile of leaves! It was a TON of fun!

Baby Ansley

This is just a really cute picture of my baby sister that I wanted to post!

Visitors Galore!

Lots of people have been coming to visit me and Ansley this week! Mommy developed a kidney infection, and really had to take it easy. P. Daddy has been a big help around the house. He even took me to the zoo last week, which was REALLY fun! I heard/saw the lion roar, and a gorilla tried to attack us (luckily, he was behind a glass wall)! It was quite the adventure. My Grandma and Grandpa came over with Aunt Chris, Ryan, and Uncle Steve. Nana, Papa, and Lele have been over. Russell and Richelle stopped by, as well as Brian and Jessica. It's been fun seeing everyone, and showing off my new baby sister. I have been helping Mommy and P. Daddy a lot with the baby. I hold her, sing to her, and I even helped give her her first bath!

Wishy Washy Wee!

Mommy has been trying to come up with creative indoor activities for me, while we've been stuck at home! Here I am cleaning my toys in Ansley's bathtub. I had a blast playing in the sudsy water!

My New Tutu!

My friends Molly and Cassie stopped by the other night, and brought me this new cool tutu and also a magic wand! I am SO excited, because now I have something beautiful to wear while I dance to Dancing With the Stars! Broadway here I come!

Baby Ansley is Here!

Baby Ansley finally arrived last week (the 30th) at 8:21am!!!! She weighed in at 6 pounds 4.5 ounces and was 18 3/4 inches long! She has lots of hair and blue eyes, just like me. She also has a dimple in her chin, just like mine! I LOVE to hold Ansley and have been really helpful around the house to Mommy and P. Daddy. I really like to sing to the baby while I hold her! She makes all of us smile. Mommy is recovering well, although I have heard her and P. Daddy say they are both tired! P. Daddy is home from work for another week, so it has been really fun hanging out with him!

Grandma, Grandpa, me and the baby!
