Party girl

For Thanksgiving this year, I went to my Grandpa Tom and Grandma Sheri's house for a great feast. Besides the food and desserts, I loved playing with my cousins and my grandpa's cats. I said "meow" about 100 times and tried to find the cats. But I think I scared them... when I first saw them move, I screamed so loud that all 3 of them hid in the basement the rest of the night.
So I decided to color and draw instead.
Then on Saturday, my cousins turned 4 years old. We went to this fun place that had a huge climbing thing but I was too scared to try it. So mom introduced me to Skeeball. I could almost throw the ball up the ramp, overhand. (I guess underhand is the correct technique.) But it was fun anyway. Mom helped me get it into the score slots.
"CHEESE!" - That is how I smile for the camera.
I did find a smaller version of the climbing thing that was right up my alley. I loved it. Maybe when I am older, I can have my birthday party there with all my friends.

Busy girl...

Things have been very busy for me over the last few weeks. Getting ready for winter takes a lot of work! Here I am making sure dad mows the lawn just right for the winter. And since mom has to stay in the house with sissy, I am watering her plants for her.
I just love being outside!
Next it was off to the kitchen to help mom make fruit dip for Uncle Bruce's rehearsal dinner. I like to taste and give mom pointers.
Here I am at the rehearsal dinner... I got to sit in Emily and Ashley's chairs. Wow - how grown up I am looking these days!
The day of Uncle Bruce's wedding - I am all smiles until about 2 pm hits (right at the start of his ceremony) and the tiredness sets in due to the fact that I hadn't had a nap yet! But I got a second wind and had fun dancing at the reception. I am glad to gain another Aunt Kristy!! I crashed hard by 5 pm so dad took me and sissy home while mom stayed to party.

Also in November is my Aunt Lora and mom's birthdays... here I am having fun with dad and my cousins at the birthday dinner. Did you know I can say the word birthday? It just popped out. I am starting to say many more words and my parents are very surprised when I do. They come without warning.


After all this hard work, it is good to relax on the couch. Next weekend there will be more festivities with Thanksgiving and my cousin's 4th birthday. Does the fun ever stop??? :)

Halloween fun!

My second Halloween was even better than the first. I was a fairy witch this year. We were supposed to meet up with the twins but they were running behind. So, our plans changed a bit - we were to go to the Street of Screams with them but by the time we got there, the line was so long that mom and dad didn't want to wait in the cold with sissy and me. So we went to Grandma and Papa's. I walked up to the door and tried to say 'trick or treat'.
Grandma gave me some candy even though I couldn't say it very well.More candy please!
YUM YUM - this stuff is great!
What??? It's all gone?
