Our White Christmas

It was a good thing that we were planning to stay home for Christmas because we got over 19 inches of snow over 2 days. Here is a picture of Daddy snow blowing the sidewalk in front of our house. Here is a picture of Daddy snow blowing the driveway. Daddy wanted a picture of me out in the snow, so I put my snow suit on and went outside. The wind was blowing in my face and I was getting crabby, so mommy saved me and took me back inside. And here is daddy snow blowing again after the snow plow came.

Two major milestones

On December 24th I started sitting up on my own after crawling. Mommy made a big deal out of it - clapping and cheering - she was really funny. I've been doing it over and over and over now. I'm a pro after only doing it for a couple of days now. On December 26th I pulled myself up for the first time. Here is a picture of me after pulling myself up. My legs are a little wobbly!!

Black Friday shopping

Here I am on Thanksgiving day helping mommy and daddy look through all the Black Friday adds. I had lots of ideas of what they should buy, but they didn't go out and buy anything!!

Just me and my Mom, hangin' in Burwell.

Last weekend daddy went hunting with his friends, so mommy and I went to Burwell for the weekend to visit the DeGroffs. I was a very good litle girl while riding in the car all that way. I just slept and played with the toys that are hanging in my car seat. Watching football is hard work, so I took a little nap with uncle Jason. Here I am with all the DeGroff cousins. Here I am playing with my cousin Addie and my cousin Jaylee. They made me laugh the hardest I have ever laughed before, which made everyone else laugh too. Grandpa called it belly laughing. Here I am with my new baby cousin Paxton. He is only 1 month old. Hard to believe I was ever that little. He is so darn cute!!!
