Oh the Firetrucks!!!

I LOVE firetrucks. Mommy and Daddy decided to surprise me and took me to go look at Christmas Lights at the Frisco Fire Department. I didn't really care so much about the lights but oh boy did I see some firetrucks!!! They had one big one that was sunk into the concrete that we could crawl around in.

I sat inside the back, sat at the driver's seat, and climbed on the front bumper looking at the lights, bell, and siren!!

They also had a real firehouse pole that Daddy helped me slide down!!

Mommy did show me one Christmas Light display that I liked. A sled that we sat in!! But Mommy doesn't like the moving reindeer so we didn't sit in it long!

Santa Claus is a Redneck!

Mommy and Daddy took me to their favorite store, Bass Pro, because we all discovered that Santa Claus loves hunting and fishing so was going to hang out there for awhile. Mommy said that Santa might be nice and let me sit on his lap and take a picture. Last year when I saw Santa for the first time he was at a party and had been drinking too much Christmas Punch (or so mommy and daddy said) and I really like him. He was jolly and funny. But then I saw him again in Michigan and he scared me!! So we were all worried how I would feel being around him again. He wasn't jolly and funny like the first time but he wasn't scary like the second time either so I wasn't sure how to act. So I just sat really still like a deer in headlights. That seemed to do the trick because he didn't do anything to scare me!

Then we walked around the store and I showed mommy and daddy what I want for Christmas. They said maybe in a couple years on the four-wheeler....

But a resounding NOOOOO on the shark. Darn! Maybe Santa will bring me one!

Mommy Exposes Me to Some Culture

This weekend NatNat and her mommy, Miss Gaby, had a Christmas Tea at their house. I love going to my friends' houses because they always have neat toys to play with.

And our mommies always try to get us to take a picture together but it never works out.

Mommies and babies had a great time playing and talking! We even sang a Christmas carol!!

Thanks Miss Gaby and NatNat! We had a wonderful time!

Christmas Trains at Northpark

Mommy took me to go see some really cool trains. She knows how much I love them. We met all our friends there. Here I am with Eva and Miss Robin

I liked all the trains especially this one with all the snow. Snow is my new word and I like saying it every time I see snow, snowflakes, or snowmen. Big snowmen are mommy or daddy snow and little snowmen are baby snow!

Here I am with my friends and their mommies. Some of the mommies are making new baby friends for me right now!!

Mommy and Miss Becky took Zoey and I to go see Scrooge. I like my friend Zoey so I snuggled next to her on her mommy's lap.

I had my school Christmas program last night. My teachers took us up on the stage and we sang a song and danced with fish. Well the my friends did but I faked crying so my pretty teacher would keep holding me in her arms.

Then the bigger kids sang and I went to go sit with mommy, daddy, poppy, nana, Kimmie, Mike, Chase and Emily. They had all come to see my big opening night!!

My favorite teacher, Senorita Michelle, sang up on stage. She has a pretty voice!

Maybe next year I'll be a bit more brave.

Delilah Grace Kidder was born on Wednesday, December 10th. She is the beautiful little girl of my fabulous friend Mary and her very charming husband Ben.
Delilah Grace's big sister, Cassie, and big brother, Calvin, are so excited to have this sweet baby in their family. Wyatt liked her as long as his mommy wasn't holding her. While I held her he managed to push the baby bassinet all over the hospital room, attempt to escape, steal the baby comb (lick it, comb his hair with it, put it in the trash, then comb his hair again...needless to say he needed a bath bad!), push some button on Mary's bed that made it do something very loud, and scream several times. Oh I'm so glad we are hitting the terrible 2's now!
I'm so excited she's here because now I have two sweet girls to cuddle.

We had pictures taken by a nice lady. I didn't want to sit still so she shared her big ducky with me. Lots of the pictures were of my back as I ran away....

But she did get one or two of my front. See how good I was being for this picture??!!

I even allowed mommy and daddy to share the spotlight with me.

And mommy had me laughing as she tickled me!!

Heard Museum

Mommy and daddy took me to a neat museum yesterday. We saw lots of cool plants and snakes. Daddy and I walked through a giant snake!

Then we walked along a trail and saw lots of dinosaurs. I got to ride on one!

Mommy and I saw one with lots of teeth!! We said "oooooooh"

Then we saw a giant dinosaur that was moving and had a very loud ROAR!!!

Then we saw some neat animals. This was a porcupine. Daddy said they have sharp fur called quills!

We had so much fun that I fell asleep on the ride home.

Víspera de Todos los Santos

Today my school had a fiest for Halloween. We got to dress in our costumes and so did our teachers!

I was a candy corn and got to go trick-or-treating for candy.

Daddy and mommy came to our fiesta. Daddy helped me put on my mask that I made and then we played with the cool straw I got as a prize. I was so excited!!!

My friend, Chase, got a big surprise today!!


His mommy went to the hospital last night and Chase spent the night with us! Then while I was at school Chase got to go the hospital to see his mommy.

He had a new baby sister!!! Her name is Emily and she looks just like a tiny Chase.

Chase and his daddy are very happy to have baby Emily out of his mommy's tummy because now they can hold her too. I can't wait until tomorrow when I can see Emily too.

Choo Choos!!

Mommy and Daddy made me a choo choo table for all of my Thomas trains and track. They wanted something they could hide from the dogs while I wasn't playing with it so they wouldn't eat my trains. So Mommy painted a piece of plywood and put some felt on the bottom. Then daddy nailed down some track so it would sit still when I was playing with it. This morning I got to play with it and didn't want to leave for Church!!!

There's a lake and the station house has a parking lot. Lots of flowers and bushes and even a cow!

And mommy painted some ducks in the lake especially for me!!

Monster Mile

Mommy and daddy took me to Leah's house to play, eat yummy food, and walk the Monster Mile!! I had a wonderful time. I let mommy put my costume on but I still wouldn't wear the hood. Leah was Minnie Mouse, Eva was a bunny, and Zoey was Zoe from Sesame Street. We sa Blue from Blues Clues! I was excited to see her but a little scared to go up close to her.

Leah saw Mickie Mouse!!

Zoey and I had fun putting our heads through a big pumpkin!!

And the girls sat nicely for a picture but I wanted to run!!!
