Merry Christmas!!

Typety type type type. A girls work is never done. Blogging is such a strain on my time. I barely had time to decorate for Christmas.



After putting the sticky clingy things on the window mom and I spent some time decorating the tree. Look it doesn't take up the whole living room.



I also spent some time with Mema and Poppop when they came to visit. We had all kinds of fun, we went to see Santa, went shopping at the mall, and we went to the Zoo to see the Zoo lights. We rode around on a cool train and I got to see the Elephants, which are still not pink... so strange.



Have you all met Clara? She's super cute and fun to hang out with. She's been sleeping in my room the last few nights, we stay up chatting ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!

Santa Clause is coming to town

I've seen this guy Santa around town and at the mall and mommy tells me I have to be good so that he brings me lots of goodies. Now that all the leaves are gone, I've had to find other ways to be helpful around the house. I decided to try my hand at cooking. Dad and I made Pumpkin milkshakes on Thanksgiving.

Some of you may know that I have a new baby sister. She is way better than my baby dolls she makes all kinds of cool sounds. I try to help mom and dad with her. I get her a changing pad, and her blanket and her hat. Here I'm helping shake her bottle so she can eat. That girl eats a LOT! even more than me.

I have 22 more days to be good. I know this because I have a new job everyday to put an animal or shepherd or angel on the cool nativity advent calendar Grandma made us. All the animals are so soft.
Today mommy and I took Stout on a long walk. It was COLD out. I had my mittens, hat, coat and extra sweatpants on, but I was still cold. So I decided to get out and help mom by pushing the stroller too.

Today I helped daddy clean the floors. He wanted to pull out the vacuum for the carpet, but I told him "Daddy, I got this."

With all these jobs I have around the house, feeding the animals, putting things in the trash and recycling, getting things for Clara, etc. I've still made a little time for play. Here's my slide that mommy and daddy put in the basement, who says you can't have any fun during a Portland winter?

Oh and here is Clara if you're interested, she isn't much help around the house though...
