Gobble, Gobble!

This year Mommy, Daddy, and I hosted the Knapp family for Thanksgiving! It was a wonderful day. Grandma and Grandpa came down from Mendon and spent two nights here in Monroe; Aunt Alexa, Uncle Ivan, Amelia and Edwinn drove in from New Jersey; and it was wonderful to have Aunt Christine, Uncle Russ, Austin and Casey living just a few miles from us here in Monroe.

The fun started on Wednesday night when we all got together for pizza at the Rillings. On Thursday I helped Mommy get ready for the big party. I am thankful the whole family could be together this year. We had a delicious lunch then the kids and aunts and uncles played chess, cards, and hide and seek. When it was time to rest we relaxed and watched Cinderella.

It was a great Thanksgiving and I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving too!

I am helping Mommy make the Thanksgiving dressing. Mommy used to eat this dressing at Thanksgiving dinners when she was a little girl. The recipe is from my great great grandmother.

After dinner Austin challenged Daddy to a game of chess.


A little after dinner relaxation watching Cinderella with the cousins.

Mommy and I decided to take it easy this Friday morning. Here I am enjoying breakfast in bed.

COSI

A couple of weekends ago we went to COSI with some college friends of Mommy and Daddy. It was good to see Jennifer, Jason, Jonas, Sarah, & Kevin, we all had a very good time. I saw Clifford and I played in his dog house and visited some of his favorite places. COSI also has a really fun play area for kids my size, it was my favorite part. There were slides, water tables, construction area, and a pretend helicopter that I could fly.

Here I am meeting Clifford with Jonas and fixing Mom and Dad a snack at the cafe.

Jennifer is showing me if you stand on of the colored dots on the floor you can hear different sounds!


WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!


Bringing the helicopter in for a landing!

Fun at the water table!


Even Daddy and Jason had fun building things!

I love to dance!

We recently went to the wedding of Becca and Scott. I had a lot of fun dancing. Here's some pictures of me on the dance floor!

Halloween 2010

Last week was Halloween. I had a lot of fun trick-or-treating with my cousins Maria and Sarah. They showed me how to hold up my pumpkin and say "trick-or-treat" and "thank you" once I received my treat. We walked around my whole neighborhood and had a really good time.

Before we headed out we had to fuel up. So we had tacos for dinner. The Portman's introduced me to "walking tacos". I like them so much I had to eat them again later in the week and "all by myself."

Here we are before heading out. Sarah the injured witch, Dr. Natalie, and Maria the cowgirl!

Daddy and I are making our way to the first house!


Just taking a break and having a treat.


After we got home I was allowed to have just a little more candy. It was DEEEELICIOUS!


My new favorite is a "Kitty Kat" bar. This is what happens when you hold on to it for too long.


I really got into character and played doctor the rest of the night. Here I am taking Pinkie Pie's temperature.


Maybe it was the excitement of the night, or the extra sugar, but I had some energy to burn. Here I am performing for Mommy and Daddy! The pop beads are my microphone.
