Decorating for Christmas

This weekend we put up our Christmas Tree. We bought a new tree this year. It's 9 ft tall. We also got new ornaments. Mommy managed to fit 2100 lights on the tree. It's very bright. I love it though. Daddy and Brother put up lights outside too. They are blue icicle lights. They are soooo pretty!

Mommy and Me Day

Guess what? Today was Mommy and Me day. I've been looking forward to it for a couple of weeks. Mommy took the day off of work to spend it with me. We did lots of fun stuff. The day started with a stop at Walmart to get the latest Taylor Swift CD. The one that has the Cheer Captain song on it (aka You belong to me). That's my favorite song -- well, one of my favorites.

Next, we went to the Children's Place clothing store. I picked out a few things that I love, including a sparkley belt and sparkley shoes. Then we went to get my pictures taken. Mommy even got in a few of them with me. That was so much fun. I put a few below if you'd like to look at them. After the pictures, we went out for lunch. It was my pick. I chose Subway. Yummy! Mommy even let me get a chocolate chip cookie. I told Mommy that when I grow up I'm going to be a Mommy just like her. I really love her. She's the best. After lunch we went to the mall and did some shopping. I love shopping. After shopping we stopped to visit my Great-Grandma and then my Grandma and Grandpa. It was the BEST day. I can't wait until we have another one.

Halloween

After months and months of waiting, it's finally here. Today is Halloween. This is my favorite "holiday". I love to dress up. That's why I like it so much. This year I chose to be the Wicked Witch from the "Wizard of Oz". We had a hard time finding a witch costume that wasn't "pretty". The Wicked Witch is scary, has a green face and wears all black. Everything we saw was black with purple and sparkely or green with sparkles. Mommy came through for me though. She bought be a black leotard, a black skirt, a black witches hat and she made me a black cape. I also wore my tall black boots. Then Mommy painted my face green. It was perfect and I was sooooo scary.

Halloween Party

Tonight we went to a Halloween party. There were lots of games, a balloon guy, a cake walk and a costume contest. I dressed up as the Wicked Witch from "The Wizard of OZ". That is my FAVORITE movie. It's just the best. It was my idea to dress up as the witch. I won 3rd place in the costume contest. My brother, who dressed up as a devil/goblin won 2nd place. That was so cool!!

Pumpkin Carving 2009

Tonight my family carved our Halloween pumpkins. I loved getting all of the goo out of the pumpkins. Mommy tried to help, but I really wanted to do it myself. I decided I wanted my pumpkin to look like a traditional Jack-O-Lantern.

I got to play Goalie

Guess what?! Tonight I had a soccer game. I got to play goalie during the last period. I even stopped a goal. Daddy and Ryan stood behind the goal to help coach me and tell me what to do. It was so fun.

I went through the wrong tunnel at the end though and then tried to get treats from the other team. I also spent A LOT of time flirting with the boys on the other team. I told Mommy that's what my coach told me to do but I don't think she believed me.

My first soccer game

Tonight I had my very first ever soccer game. I'm the smallest one I my team but I did pretty good. I kept up with the other kids running and I got to play defense too. Playing defense got a little boring so I had a grass fight with the other girl that was playing defense with me. After the game we got snacks. Juice boxes and rice krispie treats. YUM!
