I love my new hat, Nanny.
See my animals? They're taking a nap on the placemat....just like Mommy used to do with her animals.

Enough said...

12-26 To the Beach...The Day After Christmas...Who Knew?!

Auntie at the beach...
Mahmo, too! Mommy has spent lots of time at the Lighthouse Beach.

Big girl!

Let's dig!

Hi, Miss Amanda.

Neat shot

Smile...

What's a sandcastle?

Oops! The wave took me out.

I LOVE the beach!

I can help, too, Amelia. Show me what to do.

A Dad and his girl...

Life at the Lighthouse...

WAVES!!!

Two guiding hands...

I'm high-steppin' in the waves...

Hmmm...How do I get over those?

Footprints in the sand...

Walking in Daddy's shadow...

On my own...

Do you see any shells, Mama?

What did you find?

A starfish?

Ohhhhhh.....

It's wiggling, Mama.

It's crawling!

Precious

New friends...Becca and Amelia...

Let's go over there!

Just follow me.

I like you.

Let's spy on Erik. Do you think he sees us?

I'm burying myself.

12-25 Merry Christmas!

Daddy! Santa ate the cookies!!
It was a nice attempt.

Look who's here! Grand Mom and Granddad, Mahmo, Bahbo, Nanny, and Ahna!

See what they brought me? Grand Mom wore that little dress as a baby!

Surprise! The presents have been unveiled.

Let me just empty this grocery cart.

My very own vaccuum!

AND a scooting horsey!

Oh, my goodness! Look at all of my pretty bracelets!

Hi, Daddy. Do I look pretty?

Drums!!!!

How does this harmonica thing work?

Quack, quack, quack!

Look at all the presents! I must have been a VERY good girl this year.

A new book to read together...

Daddy snuggles...

We made a tower!

What happened?

I've got the hang of this now!

Corners first...

Look! I'm an airplane!

Wow! This stocking is HEAVY!

I love piggies and cows.

What's that, Mama?

Look at all of my Christmas stuffed animals (plus 2 extra)!

My dress from last night makes a nice decoration.

The aftermath of the morning...

Dinner at Mahmo and Bahbo's house...Ooooooooooooooooo....What's that?

Another wagon! AND, Raggedy Andy is sitting on top with a tea set!

Tea anyone?

Little cakes, too?

I just loved the puppet that Mahmo made for me.

So pretty...

Looking at Andy's heart...

Aren't they cute?

I HAD to go for a ride on the wrapping paper...It was pretty strong stuff.

See Ahna's slippers, Teddy?

They're soooooo soft!

Look at what Ahna got for me! I can draw like a big girl!SEE?

Show me, Ahna.

The FIRST bite of Dobos Torte! It has begun!

Like my boots? Ahna let me borrow them.
