My First Day at the Beach

Today I enjoyed a nice afternoon at the beach with my family. Daddy ran around with RJ and Lucy while I explored the sand. I only tried to eat it once. I liked watching RJ and Lucy feed the birds as well. I think Mommy and I are in heaven living here. I could watch those waves all day.

Welcome Home Daddy!

Happy New Year

Goodbye 2011, hello 2012! We went to the Pop Shop with Nana tonight. We marched in a string band parade, counted down and then through confetti! It was so neat Daddy. Then we went home and had a little party of our own with our favorite snacks. We can't wait to see you in the New Year Daddy! We love you.

Christmas

On my first Christmas, I ate lots of paper and bows and tried to grab all of my brother and sister's new toys. I am getting close to walking because I have been pulling myself up on everything. I even pulled down RJ's pants today when I tried to use his legs to stand up. It was so fun seeing everyone in our family. We have so much to be thankful for. We were also able to talk to Daddy again today.

Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve at Nana and Coach's house. Mom Mom and Pop Pop came to visit us too. We ran all over the place with our cousins, well, I mostly sat and watched, but it was still fun. The best part of the day was getting to talk to Daddy in the morning.

Christmas Dinners

This weekend we were very busy. We had cookie baking on Friday night and then Saturday night we had a sushi dinner with Robert and family. We opened our Christmas presents and I ate all of the paper of course! RJ was in love with his Eagles uniform. He wore it home and then also the next day. On Sunday, we had Nan's birthday dinner. Of course, there were more presents and our Christmas pajamas! What a fun weekend!

Cookie Baking

Mmmm more food! We went to Mom Mom's tonight to decorate cookies. It was fun seeing all of my cousins and watching them run around like crazy kids. I will be joining them soon I am sure.

Light Show and Santa

We went to the Macy's light show today in the pouring rain. I loved looking at all the lights and the characters in Dicken's Village. I was not too fond of Santa, and neither was RJ or Lucy. We did enjoy playing on the big eagle in the middle of the store. Afterwards, we met Aunt Kyle at Friendly's for dinner. I think I sampled everyone's dinner. I kept pulling the baskets of food closer to me. It was sooooooo good!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a nice Thanksgiving today. I had fun playing with all of my cousins. Lucy, RJ, and Deano hunted for animals all afternoon. I even ate some yummy food, I think the mashed potatoes were my favorite. We missed you like crazy today Daddy!
