Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone has had a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!!

The holidays have been so much fun around here. I got lots and lots of 

new toys, clothes, and friends. It has been so much fun seeing everyone

and playing with all my cousins. We spent Christmas Eve with Grammy,

Grandpa, Aunt Lindsey, Uncle Steven, Uncle Pat, Aunt Ashley,

Cameron, Aubrie, and Kolby.

On Christmas morning I woke up and found that Santa had come and brought

me lots of presents. I must have been a really good girl! Later that day

Daddy's side of the family came over and we had an amazing dinner, and I got more presents!

Whew what a Christmas it was. It was so much fun I can't wait for next year.

And now... pictures!

So Much to Be Thankful For!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I hope you all had as great of a holiday as we did! We

kept pretty busy but definitely got to relax and think about

how truly lucky we are to have each other!

We decided to get out of the house on Wednesday night and

go to one of my favorite places, Storyville! We had a lot of fun!

On Thanksgiving, we had a great morning laying around by the fire

watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and football. That

evening, we went to dinner at Grandmom and Grandpop's. The whole

family was there and I had a lot of fun eating and playing with my 

cousins!

On Friday, after Mommy and Aunt Holly braved the stores,

the Dunn side of the family came over to have pizza and 

hang out. We all had such a great time laughing and talking

and playing! I was so worn out by the end of the night that I

just laid down in the middle of the playroom while everyone

played around me!!!

On Saturday, Daddy had to work, so Mommy and I hung

out and played all morning. Then that night, we went to the

Festival of Trees at the Timonium Fairgrounds with my

friends Ava and Athena and their mommy and daddy, Scott

and Tricia. All the lights and trees were so pretty! After that,

we went out to the Nautilus Diner for dinner and headed home.

We wrapped up the weekend by getting together with Aunt Holly,

Uncle Rich, Zachary, and Olivia to watch the Ravens beat the

Buccaneers. (Mind my Christmas pajamas...Aunt Holly and I 

were having a Christmas card photo shoot earlier)

What a great and fun weekend! 

Happy Holidays everyone!

Trick or Treat

Ok, ok, ok. I know. It's the week of Thanksgiving and I'm 

only just now posting about our Halloween shenanigans.

We lead busy lives over here! What can I say?

Anyway, Halloween. So for those of you who don't know,

I dressed up as my favorite animal for Halloween this year.

That's right, a DUCK! After an intense costume search for

the perfect duck costume, Aunt Holly came through by

finding the absolute perfect one at a consignment shop

in PA. PHEW! Crisis averted!

The first stop on the Halloween circuit, was the annual

neighborhood Halloween parade. The parade was a week 

before Halloween this year, and it was rather warm outside.

So much so that I was NOT enjoying my heavy costume!

My cousins Zachary, Aubrie, Kolby, and Olivia came over to

watch (and walk in) the parade. It was a lot of fun!

In order to make the costume a bit more creative (to make

those lousy judges happy), we tried to make my costume

be a pull toy duck, complete with wheels and string.

Sadly, the wheels popped off before we even got to judging

and some kid with a parade float won. It's ok...everyone

there knew who the cutest kid was!

Then, I got to wear my costume again for a Halloween

party at Ms. Robin's. We got to dress up and eat sweet

treats! It was a lot of fun!

The night before Halloween, Mommy and Daddy and I carved

my first jack-o-lantern! We had such a fun time and decided to

keep the face traditional. I got to help Mommy draw on

the face and Daddy did all the carving. Mommy and I even

wore special "pumpkin carving glasses". 

Finally the big day arrived! On Halloween night Mommy and

Daddy got me in my costume and we headed out to see 

the trick-or-treaters. As usual, we had a bonfire with our

next door neighbors. I played away from the fire and got to

see lots of cool and scary costumes! I even got some candy 

from our neighbors (that I gave to Daddy!).

All-in-all, Halloween was a success! By the end of the night,

I was a tired little ducky watching Mickey with my cup of

milk!

Next up...Thanksgiving!
