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.

Love,
