Copying Daddy

We love Daddy so much that we want to do what he does.  When Daddy works outside, we want to "work" too!

Christmas Day

We had a great time celebrating Christ's Birthday.  This year Mommy had everyone over at her house.  It was the first year Mommy had to cook the dinner.  While Mommy and Nana cooked the rest of us colored on huge posters that Aunt Beccy and Uncle Eric brought.  It was a great idea.

Papa saved us the wish bone from the turkey. 

It was a tie. We both lost.

A Special Day

Emma went to Nana's House to bake cookies and have a sleep over.  They had such a good time.

 

While Emma was away with Nana Daddy taught Nolan how to steer on Emma's bike.  Soon he will be big enough to get his own bike.

I am 6 months Old

I am quickly learning new skills.  I can roll around, get on my hands and knees, and I am a strong sitter now.  I am also a piglet.  I not only eat constantly with Mommy's milk, but I also eat solid food three times a day.  I now weigh 19 pounds and I am in 12 month clothing. 

Christmas Tree Shopping

Every year it is a family tradition to go pick out a live tree to cut down and bring home.  Here we are standing in front of Nana and Papa's tree.

There goes our trees on the cart.

We also went out to dinner with Uncle Eric and Aunt Beccy to start off celebrating the Christmas season.

A New Bounce House Gym Near Town

We went to a building that has several bounce houses in it to play in.  We had so much fun. It is great because in the summer it is air conditioned and in the winter it is a warm place to play at. 

Daddy's Childhood Home

Our next stop was to visit Uncle Harry where daddy grew up. 

This could have been Thanksgiving dinner if Opa didn't have to work.

Opa raises goats, geese, and other birds with Uncle Harry's help along with the Almond Orchard.

Here we are at the canal where the water comes from to water all the trees.

Opa's trees are to the left of the canal.

Finally, we ate at Uncle Tony and Aunt Janet's home.  They are actually our great Aunt and Uncle.

...and these are a couple of my second cousins.

Thanksgiving Day

In the morning we visited Opa at a park.  We also wished him Happy Birthday because he is turning 80 soon.

Then we drove to Aunt Wilma's home for Thanksgiving dinner.  She is so nice, she gave us these instruments to play even when we get home from our trip!

These are two of my cousins.  They really liked me because I smiled and giggled at them.
