Holiday Time!

Snip and Snap made their annual visit on Christmas Eve Eve.

You were so happy to open up a snuggle hedgehog whom you've

named Princess or Hedgie (it fluctuates often!)

Christmas Morning was full of fun. You had to pose

for a picture before I let you open any gifts!

This is one of my favorite shots. This year you got to

shop at the Santa's Secret Shop at Sarah's school (say that

ten times fast!) and were so excited to pick out special

gifts for everyone on your list. Here you are anxiously

awaiting Sarah's reaction to the peace sign necklace

you picked out for her. I love how excited you are to

see her reaction! You are such a sweetie!

(Sarah loved the necklace, by the way!)

Opening your presents with such determination...

You stopped to examine and try out each gift before moving

on to the next one! This is a Mickey Mouse "find the difference

book" that you just couldn't put down!

A few days later you had your friend Alexis come over to play.

She was in your preschool class last year but moved on to

Kindergarten this year. You little friends still love to get

together whenever you can! She ended up sleeping over

that night and stayed up late doing crafts, watching movies,

and eating yummy popcorn! So fun!

That same night Sarah had two of her friends sleep over. It was a PaRtY!

You girls giggled as you played the game Headbands and tried to guess

what the card said on your own forehead. It was so silly!

Ever the fashionista, you asked me to take a picture of the ensemble you

put together. You are always waking up early, brushing your teeth and hair,

picking out an outfit and getting yourself dressed before even heading

downstairs to see if we are awake. I love your initiative and adorable,

unique sense of style!

New Year's Eve!

Although you loved the horns, you were unable to make them make a sound

as your blew into them. You improvised and turned it into a flute.

It may not have made the right sound, but you sure made it work!

We Walton's just hung out at home for New Year's Eve, but that didn't

stop you girls from thinking that we needed a cake for our party!

You partied until the ball dropped and even toasted with some sparkling

red grape juice! You girls insisted in wearing pretty party dresses and

dancing the night away! Fake champagne or not, you were crazy!

New Year's Day.

Another great outfit and a snuggle

break with your pal Sophy.

First snow of the season! You and Sarah rushed out to

build snow forts and play husky dog! From there,

we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house to

sled down their huge hills! What a fun day!

A tired girl headed up to bed after a warm shower. Shortly after

I tucked you in, I noticed that Bronson headed up the steps. He

has found a new cozy spot where he likes to lay. Even though I

climbed up the creaky steps, he stayed by your side and did not follow

me down like he usually does. He sure does love you :)
