Christmas Fun!

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Mine was fantastic. It started out at Uncle Steve and Aunt Kim's house on Christmas Eve, where Cassidy and I had a traditional holiday tea party.

Then Auntie and I had a quick game of paddle ball. I beat her pretty bad, but I try to be a good sport and not rub it in, so I just won't tell you that I won.

Us girls may have been just a tad excited that it was Christmas. I love my cousins!

We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and had birthday cake. I just wanted to eat my cake in peace but Mom insists on taking pictures of EVERY little thing. I can't really blame her though since I'm so cute and all.

On Christmas day I visited Grandma and Grandpa in 'Mecula as I call it. First I beat Uncle Greg at Candyland. I'm the Candyland champion of the world.

My cousin John brought these tiny puppies over. I asked Dad if I could have one for Christmas and he said no. Real nice, Dad. I should have asked Santa.

Here I am with my new car from Grandpa and Grandma. It's pink with a blue top. They know me so well!

Cousin Noah got this awesome guitar so I had to show him a thing or two on how to rock. I hope you all had as good a Christmas as I did!

Christmas Pageant

Last week I had my very first Christmas Pageant ever. I think it was a smashing success. Here I am with some of my classmates, patiently waiting our turn to go on stage.

Contrary to what you might think, my friend Paisley and I did NOT plan on wearing the same thing. But you know what they say about great minds and all that.

You might notice that the "teacher" who is holding me on her lap looks suspiciously like my Auntie Tori, but since that would mean that I got way nervous right before I was supposed to go on stage and needed her to go up with me or else I wouldn't go up at all, well then, it's definitely not Auntie. No way.

Here is the preschool solo song. I think we rocked it. You'll see towards the end that I notice my fans out in the crowd. I'm always sure to be nice to the little people, they're the ones that got me here and everything. Merry Christmas everyone!

Holiday Spirit

Hi everyone! In order to help get you in the holiday spirit, I am sharing some of my spirit with you. Here I am with Santa. This is the first year I have asked to talk to Santa, I was a little bit nervous in the past. I think Santa may have wished I stayed a little nervous, because once I get talking I pretty much don't stop. But he didn't mind. He promised to bring me a talking dog that plays music and moves his head around. (Editor's note: If someone knows where to get a talking dog that plays music and moves his head around, call me!)

And here is a little video of me singing for you. Clearly the focus of this video is the audio, so please forgive Mom for the horrible visual. If this doesn't get you in the Christmas mood, I don't know what will!

Cousins! Snow! And More Cousins!

This past week I went with Dad to Washington state to visit Uncle Jeff, Aunt Lisa, Cousin Taylor and brand new Cousin Sydnie. This means I got to ride on a plane! This was the second plane trip I have taken, so I am an old pro. Can you tell I liked the plane a little bit?

As excited as I was by the plane, I was even more excited to see my cousin! We are totally BFFs. Taylor looks like she isn't super excited about my hugs, but deep down she is.

And in her blog debut, please join me in a warm welcome for Cousin Sydnie! Isn't she cute?!

I was a bit enamored with her. She was with me too, I think, because I kept giving her kisses and she thought they were awesome. You might think she is sleeping here, but she is really just basking in the glow of Madison smooches.

Did you know that Washington has parks too? The only difference is that is a smidge colder there right now. Like I think it was fourteen thousand below zero. But even the cold can't dampen my love for all things park related! It was a great trip and I can't wait for the next one!

Now you see me....

Last week was Thanksgiving, which was awesome. I started off with baking some cookies with Grandma in Temecula. Don't worry, that isn't a real knife.

Then I went to Auntie Cece's and played the traditional Pilgrim game of Hide and Seek with Auntie Tori.

I totally found Auntie every time she hid. She thought she would finally get me with this hiding spot behind the car, but I'm way too smart for her.

I mean, just check out my hiding spot. I'll pause now so that you can find me in the picture below. I'm practically a chameleon I blend in so well.

Can you believe she found me?! Auntie is obviously a pro at this game if she was able to find me with my incredible hiding skills.
