Getting our tree!

My mom and dad brought me to this really fun farm so we could pick out our Christmas tree. The best thing about the farm was that we got to visit the animals! There were pigs, goats, chickens, and even a peacock! We found the perfect Christmas tree--it's so big, it almost touches the ceiling--I love it so much, and I wish we could have it in our living room always...

Snowday!

Last year my mom suited me up and brought me out in the snow, but I was just a little baby and I don't remember. So this year was my first time running and playing in the snow as a big girl. Though I have to admit, I really couldn't run--I couldn't really even move much because the snow was up to my waist! But my Dad cleared a path for me, and Ivy and I had such a good time playing while the snow piled up around us!

So Many Shoots!

My mom spent a lot of time trying to get the perfect photo of me for her Christmas card. The truth is, I've been modeling for her for so long that sitting in front of the camera is getting kind of old, and so I don't really cooperate anymore. Instead of smiling and posing like I did when I was a baby and couldn't get around on my own, I see that big black lens coming my way, and I run! So my mom had to keep trying to get that perfect shot. She took photos outside, in my room, of me dressed as an angel (that was fun), and me in the car secured to my carseat (so I couldn't escape) before she finally got the ones she wanted. Alas, such is the life of photographer's child--so much work!

I'm so Thankful

My Thanksgiving was really fun because I got to go to CT and visit with my Gram and Beepie. We had our first Thanksgiving dinner at their house with my cousins Samuel and Caleb, and then we drove back to Massachusetts to have our second dinner at Grammy and Papa's with all my other cousins. My mom only took a few photos when we went outside with Samuel and Caleb, so I don't have many to show, but it was such a fun day.

Uncle Chris and Aunt Brooke

Two weeks after Uncle Sam's wedding, we went to Long Beach Island in New Jersey for another wedding--this time it was my dad's brother getting married--my awsome Uncle Chris. The wedding was so fancy and beautiful, and I got to be a flowergirl and wear this really gorgeous white puffy dress. So many of my family members were in the wedding: Uncle Butch, Uncle Bobby, Uncle Gerry, my dad (he was the Best Man), and my cousins Billy, Armani, Rylan, and Tori. Even though she was really busy being the bride, Aunt Brooke spent lots of time holding me and cuddling me throughout the day. I had so much fun, and I'm so happy for my aunt and uncle!

Uncle Sam and Aunt Kristin

I'm terribly sorry there have been so few posts lately! My mom has been putting it off, but I think I've finally convinced her to document some of my recent adventures. First, I have to mention my uncles' weddings! My Uncle Sam (mom's brother) got married in New Hampshire in September, and it was such a fun day for me! I got to wear this really pretty and fluffy yellow dress, and I just danced around and enjoyed every moment of the day.
