Meeting Santa!!!

Well, I've been hearing about the guy up at the North Pole who's checking to see if I've been behaving this year... I thought Mommy and Daddy did enough of that! But, today I decided I needed to go and check this guy out...



This is my newest face - the surprise face - but I do it with anything new! I loved seeing all the other kids who were running around looking for Santa! A quick picture of me and YaYa getting ready to see the big guy in the red suit!



At first, I wasn't too fond of him and really wanted Mommy to get me...



But then I decided I needed to get a better look at this man who would be in charge of my Christmas presents! He was pretty funny looking if you ask me...



Mommy, (Great) Granny, YaYa and me after meeting Santa. I'm still in shock about that crazy red suit...



Me trying to run around like the big kids!



Taking a break on the couch...


Man, meeting a man from the North Pole really wears you out!

I'm Turning One!!!

I had a big first birthday party this past weekend! All kinds of family and friends came to celebrate me turning one! Here are a few pictures from the day of the party.



Great-Granddaddy (DaDa's Granddaddy) came all the way from North Carolina to celebrate with me! Here I am in my pj's telling him all about the big party we had planned for that night!

Even though it was my birthday party, Mommy said that I had to help clean up before everyone came! Since I LOVE the vacuum cleaner and the broom, I was more than happy to help!



Believe it or not, I started walking on the day of my party! I took a few big steps on my own for everyone to see! I was so proud of myself!!!


During the party, I took a small break to play in the "hippo" that my friend Cooper let me borrow! I love these!


Not too sure about this cake thing...


As you can see, it didn't take me long to figure it out though! (Notice all the red icing on my face!)


This is me showing Dada how to open presents!



These are my friends Clay and Katherine. But once I opened my "tool" set, Katherine decided she liked it too...but I wasn't too happy about someone else playing with my new toys!!! Here I am trying to steal them back!


Granddaddy, Poppy, me, Great-Granddaddy and Dada. What a handsome bunch!


Having so much fun at my party!

My First Thanksgiving!

I spent my first Thanksgiving in Colorado! I had so much fun at YaYa and Poppy's new house and with all the snow!


Let's get this show on the road!


Mmmmm....Poppy gave me some of his dessert... While Mommy wasn't watching...


So YaYa and Poppy put me in this thing they called a "sled"...but I wasn't so sure about all this...


Then I ate some snow...



Then Mommy got a little wild with the sled and dumped me right out! This is a picture of me after Daddy rescued me from the crazy driver! Snow everywhere!!!



Enjoying the snow!


Now I'm smiling!!!


Me and Auntie M having a little snack!

YaYa's Birthday!

I helped YaYa celebrate her birthday last month - she needed a lot of help opening her packages, so it's a good thing I was there!

Me, INSIDE the box!
