Rain. Rain.


It rains A LOT here. I think we got over 11 inches just in the month of November. That is really tall, and it is still raining. Mommy is teaching me to be grateful for the rain. So when we can't go outside and play and I really need to run and climb, we go to the McDonald's up the road. I play in the play-place and mommy and I share a fruit parfait that I call ice cream. Its great fun.

Thanksgiving in America




Thanksgiving makes me happy even though I am not a very big eater.

My cookies made their debut on the beautiful table.




Mommy asked me what I am thankful for and I said, "Ride horsey, don't fall down." I really am thankful for a lot more than that, I just couldn't verbalize it at the time :). I am thankful for my toys and a cool big girl bed and of course, I am thankful for extra pairs of big girl panties just in case. I am also so very thankful for my huge family full of people who love me. There are people who love me living all over the world and that is pretty spectacular. Mommy, daddy and I sing the song "God is so Good" every night before bed, and He really is SO very good to me.

Baking Cookies

The last couple of weeks I have gotten together with both my Grandma and my Granna and baked cookies. It was so much fun, and boy do I love sugar cookie dough.
This is me at Grandma's house two weeks ago cutting out some awesome shapes, but most of my creations ended up in my mouth before they got to the baking sheet.

Sprinkles sprinkles everywhere. Sprinkle sprinkles in my hair... and mommy's hair... and grandma's rug...oops. :)

They're cooking. Careful. It's hot.

The finished product.

We also made some turkeys. Grandma and mommy took my hand print, traced it on the cookie dough and cut it out. Then we decorated them. Well, I didn't really help with this part. We later put the names of our guests on them and used them on Thanksgiving day as place settings. So fun.

Then I went to my Granna's house and we made cookies too! Whee!
Notice my tongue. It hangs out when I concentrate really hard.

We made gingerbread and sugar cookies. Sugar cookie dough is still my favorite!

I have become an expert at putting sprinkles on these things.

Granna, Mommy and me together in the kitchen. What could be better?

Making cookies and memories. ;)
