Getting the Perfect Christmas Tree

Went went to Haggs Christmas Tree Farm again this year to look for our tree. I like it there because we get to pick out whatever tree we want and cut it down ourselves.

Once we found it, I helped dad look for the trunk of the tree so we could cut it down.

I helped Daddy cut down our tree. It was hard work but we got it.

Mama helped me feed Andy the Christmas Donkey. I was happy he was back again this year. While we were feeding him a little girl told us we weren't suppose to feed the donkey. Mama looked up and there was a sign that read, "Please do not feed Andy." Shortly after she read the sign we heard Andy starting to cough. We thought we killed the Christmas Donkey. But alas, he was just gearing up for his merry Hee-Haw. Whew! What a close call!

Giving the goats Christmas kisses.

I feed the grain to the goats with Daddy's hat. It worked a lot better than my hands since the hat could hold more grain.

Bath Fun

Daddy and I were playing in the bathtub with the bubbles.

We took turns squirting each other with my little red crab. I was lucky enough to already be in the bath. However, Daddy was not so fortunate. I got him all wet.

I laid down in the bubbles and came up with a face full of them!

I gave Daddy a zerbert! I am really good at giving zerberts now!

Thanksgiving

We went to Cory and Angi's for Thanksgiving. After dinner Tessa read us little kids a couple of snowmen books. Then she helped us draw our own snowmen. She also helped us make paper snowflakes.

I found a frog mask and put it on to surprise Mama.

Laughing in the Leaves

Since I had my nice haircut Mama took me to a park to take my pictures. We did this last year too. Here's a pic from exactly one year ago...

I practiced my balance by walking the curb.

I was trying NOT to smile but Mama was being so funny I finally gave in.

I heard an airplane so I stopped to look for it in the sky. You can see it way up high in the picture.

Playing hide and seek behind the tree!

My First Haircut

Now that my hair is in my eyes Mama agreed with Daddy that I needed a haircut. Daddy has been trying a few months since my goldilocks curls are getting so long but Mama loves to run her fingers through my hair so she insists that I keep the curls a while longer. Pretty soon I'll be telling her what I want to do with my hair but until then...she can have her way.

So she took me in when Daddy was at a Ducks game. We had gone in the store before but she chickened out during the waiting so we left. Not today, we walked right in and they had a chair open for me. It was actually a red fire engine with a bell that I got to sit in.















She took a couple last pictures of me with my long baby hair.... look at those curls!!

Kasey was my gal pal and she did a really nice job. Mama told her not to cut too much off the back. She was afraid the curls wouldn't come back. But Kasey showed her that the curls go all the way to my scalp so no worries there...I have been blessed with the Riedel curls...Thanks Grandpa Dave!!!















Once we were done she made my curls handsome and Mama took a few pictures. She even put some of my hair in a little baggie for Mama to keep.




















Once we left the salon Mama took my picture with her phone to send to Daddy...




















Then she took a picture of herself sto send since she was proud she didn't cry!

Horsing Around for Halloween

This year for halloween I went as a cowboy riding a horse. Grandma Dee found the horse at a garage sale this summer and I have been wearing my "Neigh" costume often over the last few months. But this week I got to wear it to school and then again out at night to all the neighbors houses.

Barney dressed up as a rockstar, compelte with a guitar, mic and a purple feather boa!

We went over to cousins Sara's house and went trick-or-treating with Nia and Jonathon. It was fun. The first few houses I was a little shy and didn't quite know what to do. But it only took a little time and I was in to it. I came back with my treat bucket soooo full.

I got horsing around a little too much and tripped over my front legs!

Eating my cowboy toes!
