MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Just what I always wanted! A box!

I swear those are her exact words

Cam loves to open presents, even more so when they are not his!

Opening her pretty outfits

Baby Whoopsie Doo, really Whoopsie's!

These high heels were obviously made for little chinese girls! We grow 'em big here in the USA!

4 days till CHRISTMAS!

It's that time of the year again! Everyday that I wake up I hear, "PLEASE MOM, let me open just 1 present, PLEASE!"

SANTA SIGHTING!

Santa visited the children at school last week. He started with the Pre-School class. Then Kindergarden, 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th grades. By then it was lunchtime & Santa was as hungry as a polar bear...

After lunch Santa visited the 5th grade class. I'm not sure what exactly happened. Either a child threw up on Santa or the wonderful cafeteria food didn't agree with him!

"Miss Martina says she is the best kid in pre-school."

I only see her at the swing set

We had a fairly intense storm last night, which must have brought up the subject of songs about thunder and lightning. However it happened, this is her version of at least those two words from the Garth Brooks song Thunder Rolls.

A new dress, new art work on her knee, and things to do.

I just tried to spend a few relaxed minutes with my sister and left feeling that she might need constant police protection, or at least a restraining order. This child is one of the forces of nature, and not the kind that become gentle breezes or spring showers.




I finally have it translated as, "We gotta go into the house or else the mosquitoes are going to bite us."




She is supposed to be saying "Hello" to her papa Mike, great-grandmother, and aunt and uncle, but the pressure froze her for a moment. As soon as the video was turned off she came to life, gave some kind of martial-arts scream, and destroyed the living room.
I'm still trembling uncontrollably.

Her singing can wake me from a deep sleep

A new song from preschool (actually daycare but she wouldn't go if anyone called it that.) In between songs she told me that her daddy bought her some jewelry. A big ring and some necklaces.

She nearly has enough songs for an album

To Papa Mike, Maw Maw,Tito, Nunk and Miss Claire,

I hope I spelled everything correctly, and I don't know what I did to the last two pictures but I still like them. They seem to show another side of her. You would be amazed at what an outgoing little person she has become. She talks constantly, about everything she knows, and is very opinionated. I remember being three years old and I was relatively simple, but she is a complex child.
