Holiday Happiness is All Around!

Lots of news people. Let's get right to it...

It's finally the official Christmas season and we've got the sippy cups, decoration and fashion to prove it.

Grandma Trish gave me this sippy last Christmas and I get to use it to drink milk sometimes now. Mom put something in it called Hot Chocolate the other day. Ish. I'll take my milk straight up and cold, and my chocolate in candy form, thank you very much.



Here I am helping out with some of the decorating. The bosses (Mom and Dad) didn't let me do much but I got to help with some of the less fragile business.


Mom bought me a new coat. I tried it on over my onesie but felt something was missing. That's when I added the shoes to complete the ensemble.


Dad bought me my very own brand spanking new Bauer hockey skates!!! I loved them the first time I tried them on. Didn't love them the second time. And the third time I came across them, I wanted to try them on again to see if I loved them, but Mom and I were home alone and Mom was making tacos so she said I had to wait for Dad to help me a different time. She says he's in charge of skates.

I was supposed to try my news shiny skates out for the first time at Daddy's company holiday party, but the ice wasn't think enough for us. Bummer!

Last Friday night was a monumental night. I went to Kid's Hair for my very first haircut! I was such a good girl-I sat very still and didn't make a peep and I really loved the bubbles.

When I was done, I got a sticker and a sucker. And check out the super cute hair dooder! I kept it in all through dinner that night and didn't take it out until I was in Mommy's car. But I'm getting better every day-today I wore a ponytail to daycare and kept it in all day long.
Grandma Trish and Aunt Steph were here over the weekend. On Saturday night, we went to the Holidazzle Parade in Minneapolis. Great aunt Kris, Great uncle Kevin and my cousin Haley joined us. It was really cold outside but I had a super fun time anyways.

On Sunday I got my pretty clothes on and went with Mom and Dad to Dad's work party. Do you like my super cute outfit that Mom and Dad put together? (Dad picked out the leggings-snowflakes and candy canes-he's so fashion forward!)

I got to play in the snow with my friend Olivia. We haven't played together since this summer when I wrote this post. We had fun playing in the snow.

This party was GREAT! My PsuedoGrandma Linda (that's one of Daddy's bosses) and her elves did a bangup job with the planning! There was a balloon maker, a face painter, and the big man himself (aka Santa Claus) even stopped by to bring toys to all the Tall Sales kids.



My photographer, in a mad rush to keep her job, had more pictures this week than I knew what to do with. So check out our flickr site for more pictures. Daddy also posted his pictures from Notre Dame-be sure to check those out!
Peace, love and happiness to you all!
