Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you all!  I had a fabulous day and whole Advent Season.  We just love this time of year!  I think I was good this year because Santa brought me a neat fire station.  It is like a doll house for boys!  Every time I opened a present or took something from my stocking this year I said, "Just what I wanted!"  I hope you all had a blessed Christmas as well!  Check my brother's blog, as well as Lily's!

Check out this ornament!  I can't believe my Grandma Bonnie found a dinosaur ornament, we were all so excited about this!

Playing with my Santa gift.  It has a real fire poll!

Lily and I decorated a gingerbread house.  Unfortunately, it collapsed after we were done, but it was fun while we did it.

Concentration!

A snowman I painted.  On our trip to the mailbox the other day I collected the sticks and told mama we should make a snowman and I used the items I collected to decorate him.  I put his hat like that on purpose, just like Frosty!

We went up to Mount Baker yesterday.  We dropped Nicholas off to spend the day with Grandma and we headed up to play in the snow.  Lily and dada did a little skiing while I hung out and ate in the lodge with Mama.  Then we went sledding together.  I can't wait until it snows at home!

Ready for the skis

I had to try them on but I told everyone that I was scared!!

Such a beautiful day and wow, we like in an amazing place!

Catching Up

I don't even know where to start, but here I am!  We are having a great Advent and can't believe there are just 10 more days until Christmas!  We have a lot of visitors coming soon starting with my mama's Aunt and husband tomorrow.  Grandma and Papa Williams will make a trip and my Auntie Joanie and her boyfriend will be here for Christmas. Here are some pictures to tell what I have been up to in the last few weeks.

Today we finally went to explore the new indoor play area in Bellingham.  It was fabulous!

Grandma Katie and I waiting for Sissy to sing at the yearly Christmas Program!

Playing with our new train around the tree.  So fun!!

They call them stockings right?

Swimming in Papa's new pool

Fun times.  I'll be loosing these water wings soon!

Saint Nick brought me this cool bath set for Saint Nicholas' Feast Day -December 6th!  Check it out, I'm shaving like Daddy!

This is Saint Nicholas and he left these gold coins in my shoe along with my bath set.

And we went to the Mall to see Santa last weekend.  I was the messenger telling him what everyone wanted but he was so nice Lily warmed up a bit.  Look she even got in a picture!

Love playing with our little nativity set.  I include my dinosaurs on most occasions, haha.

Being a goof!

So silly!

Watching the Lynden lighted parade with cousin Maggie.  It was a freezing, rainy night, but it is a great parade and we had fun regardless. 

Who wouldn't love a firetruck decorated in Christmas Lights?

Halloween

Last weekend we had a special visit from Grandma and Papa.  They drove over from Spokane for the weekend and were even here to have lunch with Sissy at school on Friday.  We had a wonderful weekend visiting, catching up, and spending time together.  One of the things the kids got to do was have a fun movie night.  We watched Finding Nemo, well most of us....I won't tell you about sissy ;) -I think it was a little scary for her.  Here are a few pictures from Halloween too.  It was very rainy and windy so we ventured out for just a bit.  Sissy and I got just the right amount of candy and I would love to prove to anyone that claims that sugar does not effect children that they are wrong.  Very, very wrong!  Sam on sugar....watch out!!

All ready for movie night!

Me and the stinky skunks!

Do I look ferocious or what?

Trick or Treat!

Sissy and I are getting good at this!

My loot!

Stoney Ridge 2012

What a fun day!  We met Aunt Julie and cousin Maggie out at Stoney Ridge today.  Unfortunately, Uncle Kevin had to work today.  It was chilly but the rain held off, which was nice.  We did the usual attractions, apple cider donuts being one of my favorites today.  Watch out, picture overload as usual.

We really did get lost in the corn maze and spent quite a bit of time in there.  Somehow Maggie found her way out before we did!  It was unusually dry in there this year with the nice fall we have had.

Boys!

Nicholas and I have been bonding at home the last few weeks.  We play and I have enjoyed his new toys.  He is getting a little more fun.  We enjoy weekly trips to the library and Nicholas is starting to really like story time, which is fun. 

I'm pretty small but what is the weight limit on this thing?

Mama and I built an awesome fort in my room.  I even slept in it!

Painting with my cars and tractors, this was fun!

Vroom!  Some of my favorite things combined!

Picking out pumpkins for mama's school.  I think we will go to Stoney Ridge this weekend with cousin Maggie!
