November 25-30, 2008

November 25-30, 2008...Lots going on at this time of year. Grammy's birthday, Thanksgiving, spending time with the Pitts, and getting ready for Christmas! Here are some pictures from these exciting days.

November 30, 2008...Here I am decorating our Christmas

tree. Mommy & Daddy wanted to get it up early this year!
I had fun putting the ornaments on the tree.

Reese watched me choose the ornaments.

Here is the little Christmas tree that I have in my room!

Sitting on Grammy & Grandpa's steps with Charlie!

Posing with Reese & Charlie for Grammy & Grandpa's

Christmas card! Aren't we little angels?

November 29, 2008...Reading books with Uncle Mike & Charlie.

November 28, 2008...I got to see Santa Claus at Tookie Toys!

Still not so sure about him. Reese really liked him though.

Here I am with Mrs. Claus and my friend, Julia. I'm checking

out a backhoe that I really want for Christmas.

We did it again...Chuck E. Cheese! I love this place!!!

Here I am watching the show, my favorite part. I also

played some games with Charlie & Daddy.

November 27, 2008...

Thanksgiving Day. We started off the day in the right way

by going to a race in Wake Forest. Daddy, Mommy, Uncle

Mike, and I ran the Gobbler's 5K run. Actually, I just

rode in the jogger and held on tight to Little Bear! It was a

very cold morning!

Before the race...

After the race!!! Then we headed to Starbucks, and I got

to try my very first hot chocolate. It was yummy!!!

Playing at the park with Charlie...

I really loved the sweet potatoes and the turkey this year.

November 26, 2008...Today is Grammy's Birthday!

Before celebrating, Mommy took Reese and me to see one

of her former students, Reef. He is in the 6th grade now!

Out to lunch for Mexican to celebrate Grammy's birthday!

I love you very much, Grammy!

November 25, 2008...I got to go and pick up Auntie Jo Jo

& Charlie from the airport! They came from NYC to

spend Thanksgiving with us.

Here's Charlie!!!

I think Charlie is a lot more fun this time!

I'm 29 Months Old!!!

November 23, 2008...I turned 29 months old today! Here are my monthly monkey pictures. As you can see from the pictures, I have a new favorite friend. He is my teddy bear named Little Bear. Uncle Matt gave him to me for Christmas two years ago, but I never really played with him until recently. Now, he goes everywhere with me. He even sits on the potty beside the bathtub while I'm taking a bath. He is really cute. I love to be read to, and my favorite books at this time are Bob the Builder books; We're Going to the Zoo; my Animal Baby magazines; Trucks; Have You Seen Birds?; Happy Thanksgiving, Biscuit; and any books about animals or diggers. I love to sing, and I frequently get songs stuck in my head that I have to sing over and over again, especially "Bob the Builder." I know all of the lyrics to the theme song. I love to play at Grammy & Grandpa's house, play with my Little People, play with my animal figurines, play with my diggers, go to the park, do crafts with Mommy, help Mommy bake cookies and other things, help Daddy make smoothies, go to the grocery store with Daddy, get "treats" ("vanilla milk" and juice boxes) from Starbucks, play with my friends, and hug and kiss Reese. I have to take my favorite toy (of the minute) up to my bed while I nap. I am happy, sweet, very talkative (at home), energetic, silly, and very lovable.

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

November 20, 2008....Today is Grandpa's birthday! We spent a lot of the day together. He wanted to take me to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch. It was my first time there, and I loved it! Then, Grammy, Grandpa, and Uncle Matt came over for dinner at our house. Here is Grandpa blowing out his candles. Happy Birthday, Grandpa! I love you!

At Chuck E. Cheese...riding the Barney ride...

Not the best game, but there were diggers, dump
trucks, and bulldozers on the side! This sure got
my attention!

Uncle Matt & Sara's Visit...

November 15, 2008...I got to hang out with Uncle Matt & Sara for the evening. It is becoming a tradition that I try on my Halloween costume for them (after Halloween) so that they can get the full effect!
