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...
