I'm Four & a Half!!!

December 23, 2010...I am now four & a half years old! Mommy says I have to stay this age forever, and that I definitely am not allowed to turn five. I'm just growing up too quickly! What am I into lately??? CHRISTMAS! Every day, I have a new idea of something that I want for Christmas. If we go anywhere, I find something new that I need! I'm definitely easy to shop for! We've been reading lots of Christmas books lately. Some of my favorites are Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The Polar Express, Nativity, Mooseletoe, Frosty the Snowman, The Hat, Gingerbread Baby, and Here Comes Santa Claus. I saw "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" on t.v. after decorating our tree, and I loved that movie! I like watching anything related to Christmas and some of my regular shows..."Little Bear" and "The Cat in the Hat Knows a lot about That" and of course, "Thomas & Friends." I don't have any new favorite foods, but I love Christmas because I get to drink eggnog. Eggnog is my FAVORITE!!!!! I even tried pumpkin flavored eggnog. It was pretty good. I've also been doing lots of Christmas crafts and some ornaments lately, which I've really enjoyed. I've been learning to read, and I can read a lot of sight words including the, and, go, up, get, for, four, no, two, to, too, like, is, in, it, you, can, we, me, and my. I love my Christmas village (which I play with daily); going to Grammy & Grandpa's house; talking about things that I want for Christmas; doing crafts; playing with my Cars and playing Thomas; reading books with Mommy; doing anything with Daddy...sports, playing, reading, etc.; Christmas; seeing my friends; playing; and having fun. I don't like taking a shower or a bath, and sometimes, I don't want to do school work with Mommy. And lots of times, Reesey drives me crazy. But I love him the most!!!

Where are my pictures with my monkey this month? Mommy totally forgot to take them! Must be a busy time of year right now!

Reindeer Run...

December 11, 2010...We went to the Reindeer Run at the Y today. We "ran" one mile on the way to different stations...Christmas present wrapping for needy families, Christmas caroling, Christmas tree ornament craft, and hot chocolate & cookies. I had a passport that was stamped at each station. After all the stations, we got to see Santa! It was a cold & rainy morning, but we had a great time!

December 6, 2010...Tonight I met my buddies, Drew & Will at IHOP for breakfast dinner. I had so much fun with them. Check us out playing a game on Will's Mommy's Iphone. After dinner, we went to see some really cool Christmas lights. You could turn your radio to a certain station, and the lights were coordinated with the Christmas music on the radio. It was so cool!

Christmas Tree Decorating

December 3, 2010...We decorated our Christmas tree this evening. We started it out with a tradition Mommy had when she was growing up...drinking egg nog while decorating the tree. I am getting really good at putting the ornaments on the tree. I also loved looking at each ornament that we unwrapped and asked who gave it to me, when did I receive it, etc...
