A Couple Christmas Break Videos

It's back to normal at home now, but I enjoyed spending time with my relatives over the holidays.  At daycare, I moved up to the young preschool room.  We have much more structured activities now, but my teachers think I'm doing great.  I have excellent manners, and I'm good at picking up toys and throwing trash in the garbage can.  I'm starting to string several words together.  You can't quite call them sentences yet, but I'm getting there.  I'm most interested in jumping on my new trampoline and my bull (Mom will work on getting pictures/videos of those), helping Mom and Dad to cook and do the laundry, coloring, and asking to wear Mom's shirts as dresses.  I've also taken a bigger interest in my babies, which may have something to do with the increased baby talk around here.  I keep hearing about a brother, but I can't find him anywhere.  Happy New Year to all my fans!  XOXO

This is Daddy pulling Miller and me around the culdesac at Grandma and Grandpa Mac's house.

Miller and I were super excited about getting Slinkies for Christmas.

My Christmas Break

I was really hoping for a white Christmas.

This car was my favorite ornament on the tree.  I liked to take it off and play with it.  In fact, I liked to take most of the ornaments off the tree.

Helping Mommy make buckeyes.

At least there was a little bit of snow in Traverse City.

Miller and I fit perfectly together in the sled.

Weeeeeee!

Miller was very daring to go face first.  I checked out his boots.

Trying to make snow angels.

It took long enough just to lie down in the snow, now you want me to do what?

For bowling this year I got to wear bowling shoes like everyone else!

Miller and I liked the blower.

Not a strike, but I'll help you do better next time, Grandma.

That morning before bowling we all made a beautiful gingerbread house and displayed it on the dining room table.  This is what we found when we got home (except it was all over the floor).  Bad boy, Brody!

Miller and I spent a lot of time checking out family photos on the computer.

We had so much fun at the Festival of Trains!

Riding in Thomas, the Blue Train.

Toot toot!

We relied on all the grown-ups to help us see everything.  Aunt Kate's and Uncle Paul's turns!

If you can't tell what's going on in this picture, that's because we all buried the room in wrapping paper at the Cosgrove Christmas.  Bubby could barely even move!

Stockings with Miller at the MacIntosh Christmas.

Presents shmeasants.  Big empty boxes are where the fun is at.

Sharing Grandma C's lap with Lyla.

Miller had to leave, so in his honor I tried out sledding face first.  Good idea, Miller!

Walking in the snow (or really, in all this winter clothing) is not as easy as it looks.

Taking a turn in the sled with Mommy.

Oh boy!  I got to use a big shovel.

Taking notes from Grandpa.  He likes to keep a very clean driveway.
