Happy Christmas to All!

Merry Christmas Morning to everyone! It's a White Christmas in Tennessee!

I can't believe it's finally Christmas Day. December has been a very busy month. Mommy and Daddy can't believe it's already my 3rd Christmas. I've been helping a lot to prepare for Christmas Day.


Posing next to Mamaw's decorations after church

The hard work of smashing candy canes for peppermint bark sure paid off when I got to lick this spoon

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas with this beautiful tree

Being a good citizen and donating to Salvation Army

Visiting neighbors during our big snow

I helped Paw to set up all of the window candles, too

I promise I didn't taste any of this fudge. I wasn't even thinking about it.

The winter season started off with some mild weather, but today we have a White Christmas! I have learned how to say "Merry Christmas," "Ho, Ho, Ho!" and I know that today is Jesus' birthday.

The Stehlins Rock!

Cousin Jami came over last night with my first official gift for this holiday season, and boy was it a good one. A princess tent! I immediately wanted to open it and invite everyone in. I even watched Toy Story 3 from the cozy interior of my tent since it has some cute windows.

Just enough room for Mommy, Daddy and Baby!

Thank you Miss Jami for visiting with us - happy finals week!

Tent contents: two pillows, three blankets, Mr. Potato Head, Curious George, Spot, two other puppy dogs, teapot and two cups... and Vi

CineMagic!

I went to the movie theater for the first time today to see Disney's Tangled. It was a funny movie and I sat through the whole movie and watched attentively.

Daddy's favorite part of going to the movies is playing arcade games, so I helped him drive before we found our seats.

Here I am with my first movie ticket!

Advent Season Begins!

Beautiful day, beautiful girl, beautiful dress and beautiful pictures - what more could a Mommy and Daddy ask for?

My Ashlee and My Joe

Aunt Ashlee shared these cute pictures with Mommy. They let Mommy and me come to their house and play while Daddy watched a very important football game with his friends. I had lots of fun exploring in their back yard and playing on the swing set. Thanks Uncle Joe for fixing me chicken fingers (that I didn't eat) and for letting me play with your slinky and Magna Doodle!

Wish List

It is very true that I don't NEED anything at all for Christmas, but for those of you who are wondering what I've got my heart set on and are Christmas shopping, check out my Holiday Wish List at Kaboodle:

I am two years old so I can't say that I've been perfectly good all year long, but 95% of the time =)

Gone Campin'

I went camping this past weekend with my Mamaw, Paw and Uncle Charles while Mommy and Daddy were away celebrating their anniversary/Daddy's 30th Birthday. It was a fun weekend and the weather was perfect!

Camping is hard work...

...but I got to play a lot!

I am definitely not supposed to be swinging on these support bars in the pop-up camper

Dining at its finest in the wilderness with my Paw

My first Trick-or-Treats

Happy Halloween! This is how I smile when Daddy says, "smile like Mommy"

Asking for treats from our neighbors. I am a Pegasus, a flying horse... the cutest one that anyone has ever seen!

The Pouncing Panda's Crew tromping through the halls at pre-school


Look at my treats, Mommy!

Our neighbors had some very pretty decorations that I liked to look at every day

More leaf pictures.... couldn't resist

Can I possibly get cuter by the day? YES!

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Tennessee Colors

If you look closely, you can see Mamaw's cat playing with me in the leaves.

My Paw has some really creepy customers - eeks!

Having fun at story time at the Caryville Public Library with my Mamaw

Mommy hopes that I am a future bookworm

Finally friends

I has taken quite a bit of time for me to learn how to be gentle with the kitties, and Oliver is finally coming around for some brushing (and on occasion, food). Poopie is still pretty scared of me but she let me feed her some ham the other day. I love my animal friends!
