Santa came!

 I got up this morning to a tree full of presents and a Gingerbread House that Santa brought!

 One of my favorite gifts...dressing up bear!

 Santa brought me what I asked for....a Baa Baa Black Sheep book!

 I LOVE the gingerbread house!

Another favorite that Mommy got me...a vintage 1974 Fisher Price school house!!!

Christmas Eve!

We're in Rochester to celebrate Christmas with my Grandma Stanton and the rest of Daddy's family! 

I am busy coloring but you can see her tree in the background. 

Opening Nana & Popi's gift!

Starting out sweet and cautious! 

 Yeay!!!  So excited about this divided plate, it's my favorite to eat off of (no kidding!).

Now I am signing "eat" - I KNOW what this plate is for...and I love it!

On a cold winter day

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Eskimo girl Daddy got me last year for Christmas!  First thing today I had to turn her on and then feed her.  Then I asked Mommy to write "eskimo" for me.  I also can now "sign" eskimo!

Here's another drawing I did on my magnadoodle.  I told Mommy "Look!  Balloons!".  She was impressed and had to take a picture of it before I erased it.

Stylin'

 I love fun clothes, shoes and boots.  I found these snow boots tonight and HAD to wear them, even tho I wasn't going out in the snow, I am actually headed to bed in my Santa jammers. 

20th Century Theatre Holiday Event

 Here I am running back from visiting Steve and Astra before the program began.

And now I am running around with my friend Stella.

Look what I drew Mommy!

I showed Mommy that I drew my FOOT!

Helping Mommy bake today!

 What a helper I am smashing up the bananas for banana bread!  And, in my learning tower!

 I helped Mommy turn ON the KitchenAid mixer, dumped in the flour and really helped a whole bunch!  I love putting on my apron also!

After helping Mommy I had some serious time feeding Martha Doll and myself.  I LOVE cooking in my kitchen and preparing meals for my dolls/animals.

My new Learning Tower!

Here I am in my NEW Learning Tower!  It's awesome!  I can get on a level and cook with Mommy.  It's also kind of like a fort if I sit down, I like bringing my animals in here to feed them. 

ZOO today - taking advantage of the beautiful weather!

Mommy & I met our friends Tami & Maya at the Zoo today! 

I LOVED the candy lights pictured here!!! 

 In the Children's Zoo, I love playing and climbing...and petting the goats.

 

 Here is Maya in the "spider web".

 Maya & Tami on the Merry-Go-Round!

Feeding and eating

I am very good at and enjoy feeding my babies and animals
and I like them to eat when I do, and sit next to me or Mommy! 

Let's Get Halloween @ the 20th Century Theatre!

 This was super fun! Below I am with my friend Maya!

 I'm a pumpkin and she's an octapus!!!

 I am waving to Daddy when I was up on the stage!

Here I am helping my friend Lily up the stairs.  She's a MONKEY! 

I had so much fun collecting and playing with Mommy & Daddy's balloons today!  I have 4 right now!!!

I wore my rabbit costume for trick or treating and I also drew a banana! 

"Look Mommy - banana!"  What a great job!!!

Arranging my bed

 I spend quite a bit of time some evenings arranging my bed animal and doll companions. 

Here I had actually placed Raggedy Andy's arm around Martha doll!  Mommy took this picture long after I was asleep.

Yellow Springs!

OOPS!  I just realized that I posted this to LLL vs SL!  Oh well here it stays! ~Jeanne

 We went to Yellow Springs today to celebrate our 6 year anniversary!  It was a great day.  We spent time with our friends John & Angie and their kids Gabriel & Peter, who are amazing boys.   Frank above and Lia below are photographed at Trails End Tavern, which Frank and I have been going for 15 years together.  He was the one who turned me onto Yellow Springs and we've been going up there ever since him and I were just friends!!! 

 Silly happy Lia!

 ....hanging on her parents!

 Now signing with Dad...love it!!!  What a great pair!

Now you can see our child taking care of all of the little animals she has found.  Look!  They all have their own pillow.  What a good mommy she is.  So cute and sweet!

Watching the chickens while swinging with Mommy!

I love to buckle myself up!

 Mom took me and to the Sunflower Festival today and we met up with our friends Tami and Maya.  Maya's here in the field with me.

 It was really cold but lots of people bundled up and came to to the Farm.
