Gator Fun

Opa has this great thing called a gator. I took rides on it with dad, opa and baron. It was so much fun. but boy was it cold. But for some reason the cold doesn't seem to bother me.

Opa and mommy took me to the mall before christmas and I had a blast on the merry go round. I also got a wolf build a bear. I had so much fun at build a bear that was my first time to the place even though i already have 2 build a bears from my auntie laura.

Opa Time

Opa and Oma have this cool mud room that i like to watch the squirrels from. Opa was even nice enough to join me even though he was cold.

purse

Oma had a really cool bag that i put my treasure in. I have an O-Ball, a block, salt shaker (empty) and a soy sauce container (empty as well). Oh the fun I have at Oma and Opa's.

Cousins

What's the safest thing 3 kids three and under can do? That's right play on the stairs.

Christmas morning number two... the day after

the chaos of opening the presents

I'm a little overwhelmed here.

The day after christmas we opened gifts from Oma and Opa with my cousins Baron and Amelia. They got in late christmas day but i was already in bed so we had to wait to the next day to their dismay to open the presents. and of course i was the last to wake up too. So I kept the whole show up. but we all had fun once it started.

Christmas morning

I had such a blast christmas morning. I really got into opening the presents this year. I didn't need that much help. Plus mommy tried to wrap everything especially for me so they were easy to open.

Opa's Hat

Here I am all bundled up for the weather. I even wanted to wear Opa's Carhart hat. Ain't I stylin'

Santa

So, mommy and Opa took me to see Santa at the mall and I had the typical response for a one and a half year old. I screamed my head off. Mom said i might like him better next year. I hope he didn't take offense.

Children's Museum

Before christmas, Mommy, Opa and me went to Ann Arbor and spent little time at the children's museum there. They had a special area just for preschoolers with a water table, slides and a big fire engine to play on. Mom only has pictures from Opa's camera so she'll upload even more photos later.

Christmas Parade

The floats were kinda hard to get images of but these two are the best i got. I missed the angels walking on stilts. but i remember them and they were so cool!

Playing with the light one of the angels gave me.

Mommy and me waiting for the parade to start. It was so warm i didn't even really need the sweatshirt they dressed me in. I think mommy and daddy just liked the sweatshirt and wanted an excuse for me to wear it. Daddy got it for me before i was even born. I'll get the wear it a lot in michigan when i go next week! Yay!

Cheeese!!

Mommy and Daddy always point this thing at me, so I thought I'd turn the tables.

big kitty

I really liked the big kitties. they are so not like my kissa and kana kitties but i still thought they were cool!

jungle gym at the zoo

They had an awesome jungle gym at the zoo. I played so hard. I wanted to do everything by myself. which I pretty much did with a nervous mommy watching on. By the way this is my nifty zoo outfit. It has monkeys all over it. and of course i had to wear my favorite frilly shoes even though they are a bit too big for me.

zoo

the nifty giraffes. I can bend my neck like the giraffe.

Here i am looking at some of the monkeys. There were lots of monkeys at the zoo. I like to wave my arms like the monkeys.

more monkey staring

I was so excited to see the elephants i hung on to the fence with all my might.
