Merry Christmas!!

It has been such a wonderful and busy month, MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!! I have had such a great time celebrating with all my family and friends (see post below too). This year we celebrated Christmas Eve at Nonno and Grammy Gio's and then both families came over to my house for Christmas Day. It was the best ever, thank you to everyone for making my Christmas so special!!

Holiday Festivities

We kicked off the holiday season with the Gio/Bradley/Kucab annual get together and this was my first chance to open presents, I was very good about handing them out and helping everyone open theirs too. Thanks John and Noreen for the special toddler scissors, I have been cutting away...

Then Grammy Debbie, Mommy and I went to visit Santa Claus at the mall. I was really excited about this outing until I actually got close to the guy. He's a little scary in person. I was as brave as I could muster and didn't cry, but I wasn't about to sit on his lap by myself either! The pics turned out a little bizarre as Santa was peeking out from behind me when I thought he had left the scene. Oh well, he must not have been too offended because he still brought me lots of great presents!!

And what holiday wouldn't be complete with out a gal pal celebration?! We had a Christmas party at my house and my friends came over, it was so much fun. We all exchanged presents and I got a really great set of nesting blocks from Ashlyn that I love!! I'm so lucky to have such good friends...

2 Yr Old Photo Shoot

We tried out a new photographer for my 2 yr photo shoot, Corinna's Camera, and mom and dad were thrilled with the results! The proofs will be up for the next few weeks or so if you want to check them out, here are the instructions to view them....

Arrrrgh Me Heartys!

Happy Halloween!! I had such a good time this October celebrating Halloween. We did so many fun things....

First, my playgroup gal pals and all our mommies and daddies went to the Kenny's for a potluck and then to the zoo for the annual Zoo Boo. Thanks so much Ailey and family - it was a great party!! This was my first time going to the Zoo Boo and my first Halloween experience of the year, I LOVE getting treats!!

Then the Karras family had their annual pumpkin carving party. I loved getting to wear my pirate costume again and am growing very fond of Halloween parties, there is always lots of CANDY!! Plus, Sophia has a dog named Gabe and I ADORE animals so I had lots of fun playing with him too! Thanks Karras's!!

Next I had a very fun Halloween party at my school where I decorated cookies, then one night we went to the Beverly Hills Hoot with my friend Addie and her family. Unfortunately, mommy didn't take any pics of these events but guess what?! I was dressed as a pirate....

Finally the big day arrived and it was so much FUN! Casey came to go trick or treating with me and we had such a good time. I was very good about saying Trick-or-Treat and Thank You, but wasn't crazy about the whole idea after it got dark. Once that happened I decided it was a much better time to stay in the warm house and hand out candy to all the kids that stopped by. Some of them even traded me suckers for candy bars, mom didn't understand how I could give away the chocolate that easily but suckers are my MOST favorite!! (Even though in the video below I will try to convince you it is chocolate cheesecake...)

YAY Team Girl!!

When mommy and daddy told me the new baby is going to be a girl for sure I was so excited!! Aunt J and I did a little dance of joy together....

Fall Fun

I thought that maybe summer was my favorite season but now I'm not so sure. Fall is pretty great too. I've gone to two orchards so far, once with daddy and once with Grammie Debbie and Nonno. There are lots of yummy treats and pumpkins and animals, it's so much fun!!

Sparty Party

Well, football season is officially here! My friends and I have been having lots of fun cheering for our favorite team....

The Next American Idol

Since I turned two I have been perfecting many new skills. I absolutely LOVE to sing and mommy and daddy always tell me how pretty my voice is...I'm sure this will be the first of many audition videos to come. Mommy keeps mentioning something about "tone" and "key" but I don't know what she is talking about, she doesn't always make the most sense....

A pretty BIG deal

GUESS WHAT?! Mommy said I could finally post our BIG news!! I'm going to be a BIG SISTER - HOW GREAT IS THAT?! I am very excited about having a baby come live at our house. Mommy keeps telling me that the baby has to grow and grow in her belly for awhile (it seems to be taking a long time....) and that we will finally get to meet the baby on Jan. 20th (or around then anyway). I love to look at Mommy's belly and give it kisses, I can't wait to meet my new baby brother or sister. Although if you ask me I will tell you I want it to be a girl baby.....

Visiting Friends

The beginning of August I got to take a great trip out to Connecticut with mommy and daddy to visit our friends, Bob, Julie and new baby Brendan. I thought Brendan was the most adorable thing ever and was especially careful (well at least trying to be) giving him hugs, kisses and bouncing him in his bouncer. The very best part too is they had a swimming pool and I had lots of fun playing outside. I even got to paint for the first time - I think I'm a natural....
