I LOVE Christmas!

After waiting SO LONG for Christmas (I blame my Advent Calendar), it finally came!

Dad had to help me with some of my gifts....

but for the most part, I could handle them myself.  What a difference from last year!

I got Lego mini figures, and Play Mobile Pirates.  My favorite ones were the pirate zombies.

Uncle Colin helped me put my Legos together.

I also got a Kinect.  We all played bowling.  Grandma Jeanie & Poppa came over for Christmas dinner.

Look!  Una has glowing eyes!  Christmas was a lot of fun.  Unfortunately, I have to wait a whole year for it to come back.

Jingle Bells

This was from the Secret Santa Party last week.

Sleeping Beauty

I have been pushing my bedtime back from 8:00pm to around 9:00pm.  My Dad managed to put me to sleep earlier by running his fingers through my hair. Oh, my folks got a Flip, so the resolution on this video should be better than the camera.

Playing with Dad over Thanksgiving

Dad came to Park City for Thanksgiving.  I took him to Toddler Time at the gym so that we could play.

Last Day of School 2010

I have heard from the adults that the last week of school is like the kids are all on sugar highs building up to the hysteria which are "The Holidays".  Mom worked that day and she looked wiped out after the two hours.  I did manage to sit on my bottom for most of circle time.  I am sitting on the letter 'R' between Porter & Lydia.

I played with the Duplo Blocks even though they are for babies.  I feel very mature now that I am officially 3-1/2.  I played with Porter.

We made gingerbread cookies in school.  I had a good time, but I was ready to go home at noon.

Oh hey, Mom designed the new school T-shirt.

Nearby my home is a town home community called "Hudson Ridge".  I know a lot of the little boys that live there and was invited to join in on the Secret Santa.  We had to wait for some late kids.  It was hard.

Santa finally showed up and....

I got my present.

I got a "Go Fishing" Game.  I wondered why Santa walked to the event instead of arriving in his sleigh.  Mom told me he parked it around the corner....... 

I saw Santa!

My friend Kaden went to the mall to get a picture taken with Santa of all people.  I was intrigued.  Mom took me to the mall so that I may have this experience.

As you can tell, my good friend, Kaden is used to getting his picture taken professionally.  Me?  Not so much.

There he is.  The man in red!  Mom asked me if I wanted to get my picture taken with Santa.  I told her: "No".  

I jumped around while the picture was being taken.  Kaden's parents had to be in the Santa picture too because Bianca (Kaden's little sister) kept crying.  It turned out to be a nice picture.

I took this picture while we waited for the Santa portraits to be printed.  I got the whole group.

It was a fun experience, although I would NOT speak to Santa.  I find the man intriguing, yet slightly scary.  Mom did some Christmas shopping for cousins and we went home.
