Time with the Hall Family

While in Terre Haute, mommy's best friend Jennifer and her husband Tommy and little boy, my buddy, Landon came over to visit. It wasn't a long visit, but it was great seeing them. Here's Landon and me playing.

Here's Landon. He is absolutely adorable.
Here we are having a snack of goldfish.

It was great seeing you. I wish we did more often. Love you guys!

Christmas at Grammy and Grampy's

Here I am at Grammy and Grampy's house getting ready to open gifts in my cute Christmas tutu. This chair was my first gift so I could open my gifts in it. I am very excited!

Here I am testing out my skills in this chair. I got some new sneakers. It's about time!

Here I am modeling Jenny's vest for her. I have to do all the work around here.

Jenny and Bryan gave me this scarf, hat, and mittens that were made by Jenny. They are ADORABLE! I of course had to model my stuff too.

My kitchen is going to be stocked. I got pots and pans from Mamaw and Papaw, food from Santa, and dishes from Grammy and Grampy.

After we opened my kitchen dishes, we had to take a break from opening for some drinks, served by me of course.

Here I am opening up Mickey Mouse, who sings the Hot Dog Dance song for me. That's my favorite song!

After I got my makeup and hair dryer, I had a lot of people who needed a makeover. Here's Jenny getting one.

Here's Grammy at my beauty shop. Daddy even got in on the action and got a makeover, but I didn't want to embarass him with a picture on the blog. Notice Simba waiting in line.

Here's the family eating breakfast the next morning. I thought I was pretty big and didn't need my highchair.

Grampy decided he needed a seat though, so I decided to share my seat, as long as he's share his food. We make a pretty good team!

I really enjoyed spending time with Uncle Bryan and Aunt Jenny. Unfortunately, it wasn't very much time because they had to head back to Atlanta. Hopefully, they'll be back in Indy soon. I decided to help Uncle Bryan pack. I am a BIG help!

Here I am telling them goodbye! It was great spending time with you. Hope to do it again soon!

It was so fun seeing how much Riley liked Christmas this year! She loved Santa (Ho Ho as she called him). She also loved all the Christmas decorations and lights. The minute we would get home or up in the morning she would make us plug in all the lights and say oooh! We can't wait to do it again next year! I think a Merry Christmas was had by all in my family! Hope it was in your family also!

Christmas at Grandma Pat's and Papaw Jack's

On to the next Christmas. We went to Mamaw and Papaw's Christmas afternoon to open more gifts. Unfortunately Aunt Kim and Isaac were sick and couldn't make it, and Josh, Amy, and Adam were coming down in a couple of days so they weren't there either. Mommy wasn't feeling well either, which you'll be able to tell from the photos. I still had a great time though. Here I am waiting patiently playing with the dog bones and Elmo while Connor helps Mamaw pass out the gifts.

Here I am playing with my new laptop which teaches me numbers and letter sounds. I was hooked on this after I opened it and didn't care to open anything else right away.

I did finally get in the opening mood again. I got this hat, and had to put it on right away. I love hats!

Mamaw got a purse that I of course had to model.

Here I am going through all my gifts. I told you I was spoiled rotten!

Christmas at Grandpa Keith's and Grandma Mary's

Here's Connor and I posing in front of the tree. Aren't we cute?

Santa came and visited me again. I told you I was really good. He came to their house bearing gifts. I liked him, but didn't want to get to close at first.

Here's Santa holding Isaac and me warming up to him.

Santa even gave us gifts to unwrap. I had to hand him each little piece of wrapping paper as I unwrapped. Mom thought she could take the paper, but I would say no, HO HO.
Here's Connor and I sitting on his lap. My new doll got to sit there as well.

I love Santa!
Here I am unwrapping some more gifts.

And, here I am in Isaac's chair that I really like to sit in, playing with Aunt Kim.

Christmas at Home

I, once again, was a very good girl this year because I got spoiled rotten. We had Christmas Eve and Christmas morning early at the Marvel household this year since we were traveling during that time. Luckily, Santa made a special trip just for me.

Here is Christmas Eve dinner of me eating my spaghetti. This is some good stuff! Everytime I see this picture, I say mess.
Here I am posing in my Santa pj's by Santa's plate of cookies.

Here's me eating Santa's cookies. I took one bite out of each cookie to make sure they were alright! I don't quite understand yet that they're for Santa and not Riley.

Here's what I came out to see Christmas morning. My very own kitchen that Santa got me. I love it! I've already used it more than mommy uses her kitchen.

I really enjoyed opening gifts this year. It took me a little while, but I still liked it!

Car Trips

Sometimes mom and dad get bored on their car trips so I try to entertain them the best I can. The other day on the way to Terre Haute, they turned around because I was crying. I was trying to get my arm out of my pj's. I had my hand out the neck hole and it was stuck. Mom saved the day, then later they turned around and I was riding like this.

I stayed like this for quite awhile. Then mom put my arm back in because she was worried I'd get too cold.

My Morning Routine

In the mornings before mom and dad leave for work, and I go to Ms. Tania's we have a morning routine. Daddy wakes me up and feeds me and then when he is getting ready, I sit on the couch and watch the Imagination Movers. I love those crazy guys!

Every once in a while, I'll get up and dance!

New Winter Coat

Mom and Dad were a little behind in getting me my new winter coat. Mom just couldn't find the one she wanted, but finally it got cold enough that mom had to settle. It may not be mom's favorite, but I love it! Sometimes I just wear it around the house. Whenever it's time to go bye bye, I run in my room and say doat.

Thanksgiving Time

Mom and dad once again didn't do well taking pictures at Thanksgiving. We spent Thanksgiving Day with my family in Terre Haute, and then went down on Friday to Evansville. Here are some pictures at Grandma and Papaw's house.

I was really into my Uncle Ryan. I had to share the pillow with him.
Here I am playing with Connor.

Back cuddling with Uncle Ryan.

Since I was spending time with Uncle Ryan, daddy spent some time with baby Isaac.

Fun at Monkey Joe's

Sorry, it's been so long. The holidays are such a busy time! During mom and dad's break, daddy decided to take me to Monkey Joe's. This is a cool place with all of this stuff to jump on. Here are some action photos of me.

I can't wait to go again!
