Tis the Season

Last weekend we went on our annual trip to cut down a Christmas tree. It was my third trip to the tree farm and by far the best yet! It snowed a little bit the day before and I had a lot of fun in that little bit of snow. It sure was cold!

Here I am with my friend Sam. We were helping Daddy check out this tree.

I loved walking through all the pretty trees.
Sam and I were anxiously waiting while our Daddy's cut down the trees we picked out.

It's perfect Daddy!

Don't worry, I got it....
well maybe you should help Daddy.

Come on Mommy, family picture.

Saturday night, we went to Annapolis for the Festival of Lights. Unfortunately, it started to rain. We did get out to see some of the boats, but we were too far away to get good pictures. I did like seeing all of the lights and I even got to see Santa and Rudolph!

Christmas is only 10 days away! I can't wait!

2 Years and Counting

Time flies when you're having fun...I can't believe I'm 2 years old already! I went to see Dr. Lee last week and she continues to be pleased with my development. I currently am 32 3/4 inches and weigh 24 pounds 6 ounces. I am finally in the 25% for both height and weight.

Last weekend was a lot of fun. It was full of celebrating me turning 2. On saturday, we had a party, a Minnie Mouse party, and Mommy got me a special shirt to wear.
Every girl needs a tiara for her birthday!

These were my cupcakes. Mommy made them and her friend Michelle made the Minnie decorations. I called the cupcakes my birthday party. Thanks Michelle!
My friends came to the party and we had fun playing inside and outside since it was a 'warm' November day.

And then it was cupcake time...I wasn't quite sure what to think of everyone singing Happy Birthday to me, but I did like blowing out the candle...
and eating the cupcake. I like chocolate!


After the party, I opened a few presents. Thankfully I got a new pillow and blanket because I was so tired that I layed down with them right in the middle of the living room.


Here are a few more pictures of me being 2.

My new 'puter'...

and grand piano.

Hey, how do I get them down?
I like to feed my babies.

I've even been helpful with the yard work now that I am 2. It's not all about fun and games...


well, maybe it is!

Happy Halloween

As some of you may recall, last year I was sick for Halloween. Well this year I was feeling fine and got to celebrate 3 times!

It all started on thursday with my fall party and parade at school. This is a class picture...can you see me?!

Here I am with my friends Jonah and Nathan. We go way back, all the way back to day one at the center.

After a few pics, we went outside for a parade and met up with all our friends in different classrooms.
On Saturday night, Uncle Mike and Aunt Mindy invited us to their house to visit the spooky woods in their neighborhood. My friend Abbey, her mommy, daddy, little brother and Drew and Aurora were there too. Thankfully Aunt Amy remembered her camera because mommy and daddy forgot to bring ours. Thank you Amy for sending us a couple of pictures! Abbey and I had a lot of fun and weren't scared at all!


Finally it was Halloween. I'm ready to trick or treat with my pumpkin!

See the pumpkins Daddy carved...
I'm ready!!!
Trick or Treat! ( getting some practice in at my own house)

oooh, candy...
I've got my glow stick for safety!
I sure did like Halloween!

XOXO, Ryanne
