Fireworks!

Everybody is shooting fireworks outside and they are loud and so pretty so it's hard for us to go to sleep!! We went outside earlier to look at them but it was a little cold and Heidi might have been a little scared. So we came inside and we keep hearing them. So we keep peeking out the window to see them. I really like them. I say "Wow!" New Year's celebrations are fun, but I really need to try to get some sleep!

Love,

Happy New Year!!

We celebrated our New Year at 9pm est. Which is like New Years for England or something. We all toasted and shared a little bubbly grape juice together. (the evidence is in the picture!) Brett really enjoyed the bubbly grape juice!! I loved it too. We all tapped glasses/sippy cups/big girl cups and said "CHEERS." That part was my favorite. I bumped glasses really hard and spilled my juice twice! What a fun evening. We also made resolutions for 2012. Mine was to see Santa more and get more toys. I think Brett's was to get more grape juice and Mommy's was to get more tacos. We all have this New Year Resolution thing down pat!!

Happy New Year!

Love Always,

Heidi Catherine

Dance Recital

I had my first dance recital before Christmas. I was awesome and behaved like a wonderful child. I listened, followed directions, paid attention and was a star pupil! As you can see in my pictures, I did exactly what my dance instructor Meredith told me to do......

Now for the truth....I didn't really pay attention at all....and I msbehaved badly.....but it was my first dance recital so I get a mulligan!!

It's amazing how I could have gotten away with this on the blog after those pictures Daddy took which made me look amazing. Minus the cheese crackers I was eating throughout the recital. I like it when they throw flowers at me. I'm a star!

Floor Bed

Sometimes the bed just isn't cozy enough and that's when you gotta throw everything on the floor and start from scratch. And that's just what I did this night. And I slept like a baby. Probably because I basically am a baby!

Christmas Preparations!

When Christmas was almost here, we had to prepare in many ways! We had to try on some old outfits to see if they fit (they didn't) and we had to prepare to mail off some goodies, so we had to test the size of the boxes. It's a lot to do for Christmas, but it was well worth it! Happy Birthday Baby Jesus!

Pillow Fight!

It seems Ms. Heidi wanted to compete in a pillow fight. Little does she know I am a peaceful lover who does not like to fight. Needless to say, I didn't want to fight, but she threw all the pillows on the floor and pulled me down off the bed and forced me to fight. I got upset and didn't want to fight. Heidi stomped off and left me all alone and sad.

My Sports Card Collection!

Sometimes I like to go through my sports card collection to see if I have any stars that may be worth anything. I am a pretty dedicated collector. Probably the most dedicated in my house. I have some good ones. Maybe one day they will put me through college.

Candy Land!

So Trick-or-Treating is finally here (back on Halloween of course) so I am trying to teach Brett how to do this. It's so easy!!!! All you have to do is walk up to people's doors and they give you candy. It's as easy as taking.....well....giving candy to a baby. But Brett doesn't get it. He just sits in the wagon and keeps texting.....probably sending messages to Sara Ann at daycare. I don't see what he sees in her. She hardly even has any hair. Nonetheless, I had to get all the candy for Brett this year. So Mommy and Daddy better not get mad when I take all his candy and eat it. I did all the work. Happy Candy Day!

Love,

Heidi Catherine!

Loving Heidi!

Sometimes Heidi gets injured and has to get bandaids. I know it must hurt, but I love her and hug her and make her feel better. And she is all better! Then she jumps on me and takes my things. That's how I know she is better. They she has to give me hugs and make me feel better. It's just a vicious cycle. I wonder where my parents are when all this is happening? I still love them!!

Making Cookies with Grandma Bollo?

When Grandma and Grandpa Bollo were here in October, we made cookies!! She taught me how to make cookies, and then we used those skills to make cookies for Santa. Heck, I think we made cookies, I don't even remember!! Maybe we made a pizza? That's kind of what it looks like anyway?!?!

Love,

Heidi Catherine!

Apple Sharing!

Me and Daddy like apples, so when we get the opportunity to share them, we do. I like to slobber all over the apples to get them nice and juicy, then I let daddy have a bite. Apples from the mountains and from LaCrescent are so yummy. And, they keep the doctor away. Thank goodness, because I think Heidi has a crush on Dr. Vidrine, the ENT doctor, and I think she is too young to be dating. And I think he is married!

Soccer and Cell Phones.

I wasn't allowed to paint pumpkins because obviously Mommy and Daddy don't like when I eat the mustard and ketchup. They are like "NOOO!! Don't eat the paint!!" And I'm like "you let me eat the paint with my french fries and chicken nuggets." I just don't get them sometimes. So I played soccer with Daddy and answered his phone calls. One day I want to be a professional like Daddy. I don't know what he is proffesional at, but he says he is. And as his child, I am forced to believe him.

Painting Pumpkins!

Since somehow time passed me by so fast, and I forgot to blog around October and November and early December, I need to catch everybody up!! Before Halloween, we painted pumpkins outside! I was like a Picasso out there.....what's that dad? No one can understand what Picasso paints? Oh, well I am definitely not him!! I painted gorgeous intricate pumpkins!!! And then we made Pumpkin Pie out of them....ok....we didn't really. I think they eventually rotted and Daddy threw them across the road. But before that, they were awesome! Awesome! ( I say Awesome now!)

Love,

Heidi Catherine

Christmas was cool!

I think Christmas is going to be a pretty cool and awesome venture. It was pretty fun this year. Opening presents that Heidi is going to play with is kind of fun. We all got a huge tent for camping so I think that will be fun! I hope they let me take green bear! I also got to eat some chocolate, which is always cool! I guess I can't wait till next year. Ho Ho Ho!!

We Loved Christmas!

We had a fantastic Christmas!! We got to celebrate the birth of little baby Jesus, and since we were so good this year, Santa came to our house and we got presents!!! We got to go visit Santa a couple times! I liked him so much that we left cookies for Santa, and I wrote him a letter!! Brett got a Woody and Buzz doll from the new Toy Story movie!! I love to play with them since I think everything is mine! I also got lipstick and Barbies from Santa!!!! Christmas is so much fun! I can't wait till next week when we have Christmas again!!!

Love,

Heidi Catherine
