Wow! We opened lots of our presents on Christmas Eve and found an amazing assortment of gifts. Clothes, toys, dress up fantasy outfits, neck warmers, I can't count them all! And that was before Santa arrived! Thank you, everybody, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I hope you had a Very Merry Christmas. Do I look like I did? Yes, for the most part. We were lucky to be spending the day with people who had heat and lights and water at their homes. We didn't at ours. Unitil, once again, could not provide a quick restoration of lost electric service. So we had a White Christmas during the day, and a Black Christmas once the sun went down. I hope yours was better.

Here's another school picture taken by David Bendroth. I'm getting more used to posing but I'm still only 3 and 1/2! When I'm 4 I'll be more professional!

This is my first official school picture. It was taken by photographer David Bendroth. He did a great job, don't you think?

Here I am riding with Mommy way up high over the amusements. This was supposed to be posted Friday but the big ice storm knocked out our power so it couldn't be posted until today. I hope Nana comes home from the hospital soon and is all better. Blake and I miss her.

Blake's not the only one who likes tractors. It's okay for girls to like them, too.

I can fly this helicopter all by myself. Well, I can once that guy over there pushes the Start button! Here goes!

It's okay, Blake. We can pick at the turkey while they get the rest of the meal ready to serve. You and I can be thankful for that!

My little brother Blake and I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Even though this old tractor can't budge, we're definitely pulling for all of you to have a great holiday season. We're thankful for all our blessings and hope you are too.

Hey, this is so cool. I can climb on this jungle gym and it gets me high enough that I can pick apples from this tree. Hmm. Looks like I'm not the only one to have realized this!

Yumm! Cotton Candy. I don't know how they do it! I can wear cotton shirts, cotton jeans, cotton socks and they last. But put this cotton in my mouth and it melts almost instantly! Try it. Put one of your socks in your mouth. I'll watch!

So! I do have to dress up for school, you know. I can't just go there in play clothes! Didn't you go to school?

We went to Whitney's Farm to a Harvest Fair. Here I am having my face painted by a witch. Between you and me, she was not very scary for a witch. And I never even heard a rumor that she could fly on a broom. Imagine!

I guess I shouldn't say "Trick or Treat" in this outfit, right? Just "Treat", right? I'd like to be this angelic all the time, but sometimes I feel positively devilish. Don't you?

Even though Blake and I had a ball riding lots of amusements at the Fair, if you look at Mommy and Grandma's faces it's hard to tell who had more fun, isn't it?

I can't wait for this ride to get started. Nana's smiling now, but how will she look during and after the ride? Heh, heh.

Wheee! Here I am with Nana Jan and Grandma Diane riding the Tilt-A-Whirl at the fair. You get dizzy and nauseous at the same time. What fun! What's the next ride?

Oh, boy! I'm speeding around and around and up and down on this dragon roller coaster at the fair. I'm big enough to go on it by myself and I love it! More, more, more!

Here's our new way to beat the oil crisis. This one-owner, used, low mileage transporter runs on grass and even peanuts. How green can you get? Not sure about driving in the winter, although it is easy to find in the mall parking lot. Seats at least four, but it is imported.

This is one of my last swims of summer. It's getting colder now and the leaves are turning. Plus, I'm so busy at school I can hardly find the time to go to the pool or beach. Halloween is coming up fast. I have to decide who I want to be. Do you ever feel that way?

Oooh. Cold and creamy. Yummy. Nothing like ice cream on a hot summer day. Guess I won't be having any more until next year. We had a frost last night. Oh, well. Looking forward to playing in snow. How about you?

Here I am with Blake and Mommy, helping Papa blow out the candles on his football birthday ice cream cake, which I picked out for him. I go to the Acorn School now and am learning to count. I think there should have been more candles!

How long would it take me to fill in this ocean by throwing these stones into it one at a time?

Chocolate Frosted Cupcakes! Yummy! And they look good on you, too!

Can you guess what I drew on my first day at the Acorn School? Nope. Guess again. Nope. Don't you ever use your imagination? Look again. It's obviously a whale, silly!
