I'm Half of Seven!!

That's right! I turned 3 1/2 yesterday!! :-)

Weekend Update

I had a four day weekend this past weekend (Daddy was supposed to as well but ACS took it away to make up for a snow day). SO, since I didn't have school on Friday, I got to sleep in, then mama and I spent the afternoon downtown. We packed a lunch, then went to the Health Adventure...after that we picked up daddy and went to a model train 'show' at the civic center, walked downtown and ate some pizza and while walking back to the car we caught the end of 'Jazz After Five' that was going on in the Grove Arcade. And if all that wasn't enough for one weekend, on Saturday we all went swimming at the YWCA and spent some time at the mall. After dinner daddy made a bonfire and we made smores. Sunday was a day of rest...all we did was go to church :-)

Here is a slide show of some of our pictures..and some 'fire art'

Valentine's Crafts

This week mama and I have been making lots of Valentines crafts. We made some special crafts for my family and mama mailed them. Then I got to break all my old crayons and melted them to make colorful heart shaped crayons...then mama helped me make valentines for all my school friends. :-)

'Blizzard Like Conditions'

A quick pic from mom's cell phone. This is use going into Ingles. We really had to cover our faces...the snow was just coming down.

Snow Day!

These last two days have been really amazing. It started snowing Tuesday afternoon, then it REALLY came down earlier that night (CNN News called it "blizzard like condition"). Then today we've had a little bit more. I LOVE playing in the snow. With my snow gear on, the cold doesn't even phase me. We made a snow person, snow balls, and even snow angels.

Blowing Bubbles

I'm startin' to get the hang of this bubble blowing thing...

A Week in the LC

Well long story short, on Sunday Abuelita, Uncle, Mom, Dad, and I drove to Altanta...when Ali and UT where leaving to head back to Lake City, UT asked Mama: "Why don't you come on down with us and I'll drive you back next weekend?" Despite not having any clothes or anything with us...we went :-) It was a week of a lot of fun! We hung out at Abuelita's house, went to the Gainesville mall, watched KungFu Panda, had a picnic, went on a hike, walked around St. Augustine, had a play date with Gabby, had a milkshake and Desoto's.....and lot's more! Then it was time to come back home; and now Uncle Tony has left too. Thanks UT and Ali for a great time.

Abuelita and Uncle's Visit

Abuelita and Uncle Tony drove up from Florida to visit a couple weekends ago. It was great. On Saturday we went to feed the ducks and then went on an Asheville "tienda" tour which ended when we finally found a pananeria (I don't think I spelled that right). I was super tired by then, but mom and uncle where so ecstatic about their find that I was too. Fun times!

Chuck-E-Cheese's

When we went to pick up Aunt Elizabeth and Russ in Greenville, they took us all out to Chuck-E-Cheese's. We all had a wonderful time.

Christmas at Maw's Farm

This year we spent Christmas at Maw's farm. My Mamaw, Grandpa Steve, and Uncle Keith all traveled up from Boca Raton, Fl., and my Aunt Elizabeth and Russ came all the way down from Canada. We all had such a great time. Christmas Eve included a surprise visit from Santa (which I wasn't so sure about). Then mom, dad, and I went to midnight mass. We came home, went to sleep, and when I woke up the next morning...Santa had come. I got a lot of great stuff! Thanks everyone. We took lots of pictures, so here is a link to them.
