Getting ready for the Tournament of Roses

Do you like my new Elmo slippers? These are just my size!
I started my day playing with GrandAuntie Sue...
...then went out for lunch with David...
...and ended the day by going to the FanFest Expo Village, which was set up to help get ready for the upcoming Tournament of Roses & the Rose Parade! In this picture, I got to sit & ride on this miniature airplane at the Kids Corner! Pretty cool, huh!

Christmas Presents!

I finally got to open all my Christmas presents today! We were just too busy yesterday to do it...
I got lots of fun books to read!
And some great toys, too! I really like this play food that I can play pretend with! Thank you for all the Christmas presents!

Christmas Eve Shindig

We're at Uncle Scott's Christmas Eve Party! Thanks for my Christmas present, Uncle Scott! He's so soft and cuddly!
I'm having so much fun, I wish we could just stay and have a slumber party! What do you think, Auntie Peggy & Katie? I think it'd be a blast!

Kidspace & Pottery Barn Kids

Wow - take a look! These holiday decorations are pretty cool, huh, David?
Mommy also took me to play house at Pottery Barn Kids in the afternoon. I really like playing in the kitchen with all the pretend food!
This dollhouse is really cute, too!

Legoland & Housewarming Party

Daddy & Mommy took me to Legoland today! It's my first time here!
They had lots of Christmas decorations for the holidays - including this 30-feet tall Lego Christmas tree!
We went to the Fairy Tale Brook first - it was a nice, calm boat ride with lots of Lego characters to look at...
Ohhh! Look at the Three Little Pigs in a Pig Country Band!
Here we are by the Zany Zoo - my favorite is the giraffe!
Everybody aboard for the Legoland Express!
Just for today, I get to be a local resident at Playtown - do you like my beautiful house? The flowers are just lovely!
Time for a quick drink & snack - hey! Get your own drink, you scaly green dragon! This one is mine!
On the way to lunch, we stopped by Times Square in New York in Miniland USA. Weren't we just in New York a few days ago?
Mmmmmm! Look at our lunch! Chicken and ribs and french fries! Can you believe we had to pay $16 for this plate? Squeezing in one last area to stop & have fun at Duplo Play.
But wait! Can Dora & Boots come home with us, too? Aww, I'd let them sleep in my bed...! What do you mean, they won't fit? It's already time to go home now?...
Awww, I guess you're right, I'm getting tired...*yawn*...I'll just take a quick nap while we're driving home...zzzzzzz.
Now that I've had my nap, I'm ready to go to Auntie Peggy & Uncle Patrick's Housewarming/Christmas Party! Let's go, Elmos!
I had a great time goofing around with David during dinner! We should do this more often!

Early Christmas Celebration

We got together with some of my friends for an early Christmas celebration! Uncle Eddie is reading the Christmas story to us. It looks like I'm not paying attention to the story, but I'm really just trying to avoid the camera - haha!
We also had a gift exchange where each of the kids got a brandnew Christmas ornament!
And then we finished by singing Happy Birthday to Baby Jesus, to really celebrate what Christmas is all about!

O Christmas Tree!

Look! We decorated our Christmas tree with all my stuffed toys! There's my duckie on the top, and bear-bear, and Minnie Mouse...all my friends! I think they're having a good time on the tree!

Getting ready for Christmas

Daddy just put up our Christmas tree! It still needs some decorations, though, don't you think?

Long Flight Return

What a long flight we have! Mommy always says I start getting antsy by the 4th or 5th on the plane! Hey, wouldn't you get tired after so long, too? But we finally get to go back home, where I don't have to get all bundled up before going out - yay! Those bulky jackets make my arms look like sausages & I can't bend my elbows to reach my face!

Korean Dinner

This is our last dinner before we going back home!
We had yummy Korean food with GrandAuntie Debbie & her family!
While we were waiting for Uncle Alvin to pick us up in the car, Mommy & Daddy finally let me touch some snow!
It's pretty fun! And it sure is cold!

Thanks, Uncle Alvin!

Uncle Alvin...are you going to eat all that? I'd sure like to have some more, please!
Thanks for sharing your food and taking such good care of us while we're visiting you & your family! We'd sure love for you to visit us some time, too! Maybe when my baby brother comes - yeah!

Visiting the Jee's

I'm so glad Daddy's finally arrived to NY!
He helped drive me & Mommy into Manhattan to visit Uncle Stanton & Auntie Serena and Kyra & Nathan!
Mommy keeps saying how she can't believe how much we've all grown since last April!
