We have been pretty busy lately! Hank has school 2 days a week and I have Kindermusik classes 1 day a week...this what we do when we are not doing those things!

I am having a solo picnic lunch on a day when Hank is at school

Cinderella is getting ready for the ball...so Hank and I had to style her hair!

I have girlie costumes but I still like the Spiderman/Lightning McQueen combo every now and then!

Helping Mom bake again...and sampling the dough!

Hank and I set up our own little office with laptops etc...

Some fun racing cars with Daddy...I got a good spot!

We have a thing for sunglasses now...as well as dancing (good thing we don't know the words to Daddy's songs)...as you will see in one of the videos below...The other video is piggy-back rides!

Miscellaneous Photos...

Mommy has been trying some new baking recipes lately...which is good for me and Mimi because we get to sample them....mmmmmm..this is red velvet batter!

Well, we knew Daddy was not going to like this one when we took it...but we did it anyway!

Mimi and I love to go to the Home Depot workshops with Daddy! This one was a birdhouse piggy bank. I painted in my favorite black and white colors and Mimi painted in her pink/purple colors!

Somebody is mad....

I like Mommy taking pictures of me!

Our favorite spot on the counter...where we get to watch Mommy doing her cooking and baking!

Just realized this picture is from Christmas Eve when we put the reindeer food on the patio!

Frick and Frack!

And I can't type below this last picture but this is all I want to say....that face is T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Christmas at Grandma Judy's and Grandpa Wayne's

These are late pictures as well but I wanted to share them with you! We left for Chicago the day after Christmas. We go to spend a lot of time with our cousins and extended family and we got a bunch more presents! Here are some highlights from the trip!

Thanks to my cousin Joey who always plays with me! He was helping me with the Wii in this photo.

All the fun tired Daddy and me out!

Some fun with a new book! Not sure what Hank's face means...?

Love my new Muppets sweatshirt from my MN cousins , Aunt Sue and Uncle Tony!

Somehow I ended up in the wrapping paper garbage bag!

Grandpa's new toy...(I think it's called) the whizzer...enough said...

I can always find a comfy spot on my Godfather's lap...sleepy...

Boy did Mr.Ben and I have some fun with a couple of balloons and some wrestling on the aerobed. He had me laughing and laughing!

More good times...

We got to help Grandma Judy make chicken...we got to shake it in the bag!

And Uncle Andy was some fun too! We were building orange towers and toppling them over! What a great Christmas!

First Day of School!

Yesterday was my first day of preschool at St.Thomas Aquinas! It was a very fun and tiring day!

I decided to give you 3 shots of me with my new backpack...

My Mario backpack that is bigger than me.....but I HAD to have it!

And I chose my outfit...my favorite shirt since it is black and white...my favorite colors!

Funny picture faces....

Daddy and me outside the school!

The teacher said I was great and you would have never even known that it was my first day...YAY!I We got home about 1:40 pm and I was a little tired so I decided to lay down on the couch...I fell asleep and at some point I rolled off the couch onto the floor...and never woke up! Whew school really wore me out...but it was so much fun and I can't wait to go back on Thursday!

Christmas Morning!

Yes, we are a little behind in sharing some of these pictures with you. So Sorry! But here they are! These are pics from Santa's visit!

Daddy went downstairs before us to make sure Santa had arrived...and he did. This is my "loot"

And this is what Mimi got!

I got a super awesome Rocketship!

And more motorized track that I can add to what I already have with bridges and tunnels and a turn-around. I so wanted this!

Mimi got lots of great stuff too including a dollhouse!

And as soon as it got light out...we checked the patio to make sure the reindeer ate the food we left for them (thanks to our NJ cousins) and they did!

Too much fun for Mimi! She fell asleep on the couch at 10:30am! What an awesome Christmas!

Thanksgiving in NJ

We went to NJ for Thanksgiving this year. It was a long drive and we always need a day or two to get back to a normal schedule. Mimi had a tough time with naps....and had fallen asleep on Daddy's lap!

We love Grandma and Grandpa's fireplace...so warm and cozy!

And Grandpa read us books...

And Mimi was a great help to Grandma Mary preparing the turkey and all the sides!

While visiting our cousins we ran into Santa Claus! Mimi was not willing to sit with him.

We also got to take a train ride on an old train...I loved it!

And Santa visited us on the train. Danny and I posed for a picture and then told Santa what we want for Christmas...I hope he brings it!

I loved the train ride!

The Christmas Express...

We ended our couple of days there with a very special treat from Grandma Mary...and here is what was left of it after we finished!

Good-Bye Ripken

We had to say good-bye to Ripken tonight. He was getting old and sick and we know he is going to a better place. We love you Ripken and we miss you.
