Christmas Tree

Today we set up our Christmas tree. Daddy took the tree out of the box and set it in the stand and Mommy, Meghan and I put decorations on it. We also made cookies and ate them.

Snow!

Today it snowed. Daddy and I made a snowman while Meghan was taking a nap. We used food coloring to paint the snowmans face, except we used a carrot for his nose. I called him Frosty.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving day is today. Grandma came to my house and we had lots and lots of food. Mommy cooked a turkey. I liked the sweet potatoes with the mini marshmallows on top. Meghan ate a lot of food, more than me. Grandma asked what I was thankful for and I said my toys. That made Mommy and Daddy laugh.

Toledo Zoo - Lights before Christmas

Tonight Mommy and Daddy took us to the Toledo Zoo to see the Christmas lights. It was very cold so Meghan and I wore a lot of clothes, except Meghan wouldn't wear her pink mittens. Mommy had some blue Thomas the Train mittens and Meghan thought those would be OK and she decided to wear them instead. Daddy said there were over one million Christmas lights. They were all different colors, and some looked like animals. Most of the animals were sleeping, but we saw the Polar Bears up close!

Birthday Party at Grandma's house!

Today I went to Grandma's house with Mommy and Daddy and Meghan. Aunt Clarice and Uncle Lowell were there too. I opened presents and had some cake. My favorite was a toy truck with a jet ski on a trailer. Meghan got some presents too.

BIRTHDAY!

Today is my Birthday. I am FOUR. I had a very fun day at school. I gave presents to my friends to celebrate. My teachers said that I had "Birthday Buzz". That made Mommy and Daddy laugh. After dinner my friend Cody came to my house and gave me a present. We had cake and ice cream and played with my trains.

Birthday Party at Nanna & Buppa's

Today we went to Nanna and Buppa's to celebrate my Birthday. We also celebrated Daddy and Uncle John's Birthday too, but they didn't get as many presents as me. Great Grandpa & Aunt Cherie were there and Uncle Mark & Aunt Chalese and my Cousin Sommer & Cousin Evan. Mommy and Meghan were there too.

My birthday cake was chocolate with white frosting and dinosaurs on top. I could even eat the stones, they were candy!

Meghan helped me open presents, but she was more interested in playing with the train set.

I did a treasure hunt and opened lots of presents. Nanna and Buppa gave me a Stegosaurus. I like Stegosauruses because they have a spikey tail. My favorite part of the party was the treasure hunt and opening presents. On the way home I was tired and fell asleep. Meghan fell asleep too.

Sunday Dress

Grandma got Meghan a new dress for Church. She really didn't want to wear it and it took both Mommy and Daddy together to get the dress on Meghan. After it was on, Meghan cried. I told Meghan that she looked beautiful, but that didn't help, she still cried.

Hands On Museum

It was rainy today so Mommy and Daddy took Me and Meghan to the Ann Arbor Hands On Museum. We had fun touching all the exhibits. Meghan liked the gears and I liked spinning the bearings. Mommy brought an extra big bottle of hand sanitizer too. On the way home we got stuck in the traffic from the Michigan football game. Daddy said Michigan lost the game and he wondered if the new coach was worth all that money. I liked to see all the people wearing yellow, it's my favorite color. Meghan was sleeping and didn't see anything.

Opening Day

Early this morning, I heard a big BANG from outside in the forest. Daddy told me it was a hunter and that I should wear my orange hat for the next two weeks. Meghan too.

Nightmare in my Closet

Tonight we read, "There's a Nightmare in my Closet". It wasn't scary when we were reading it. But after, I needed Mommy to look in my closet to make sure nothing was there. There wasn't anything except my toys, but I still can't fall asleep. Meghan is sleeping now.

Four More Days!!

My Birthday is coming fast, only four more days. I can't wait. Today I received my first Birthday card in the mail. It was from Nanna & Buppa. There were race car stickers inside.
Last week, we made a big pile of leaves and jumped in them. The pile was sooo big that I could stand in them and you couldn't even see me. Here's a picture that daddy took of me in the pile. Meghan liked them too; she is my sister and she is two.
