Chillin' with Grandpa

Grandpa and Mimi took us out to breakfast the Saturday after we moved in. Mimi went and got us some groceries so I wouldn't be hungry. Here I am showing Grandpa how to relax and take it easy.

Temple Square

We didn't make it to Temple Square before Christmas this year, so we hurried and went on December 30th. We got to ride the train there!!!
Say Cheese on the train! I kept saying,"Go Go Go Train!" Everyone on the train thought I was pretty cute and would laugh.

Boxing Day

On December 26th we called all the family boys to haul our boxes into our new house. Whoa. We need to get rid of some stuff. There sure were a lot of boxes.
I thought I would take a little break and eat a pudding.

Thanks to everyone that helped!!!

Christmas Night

We went to the annual Christmas Night Party at Grandma Norma's. It was quite the crowd.
Since Great Great Grandma Hull moved to Provo, I miss seeing her all the time. (I am sure she has a piece of candy in her hand that she is trying to give me.)

I was very well behaved there..... kind of. What a fun Christmas we had!

Christmas Afternoon

We spent the afternoon at Mimi's and Grandpa's. They gave me a big yellow truck. We also ate the traditional egg casserole, but I was more interested in the oranges that they had.

Christmas Morning

Whoa! Look at all those presents that have my name on them! I really liked opening presents this year. I would open one of them, and would just want to play with that toy. So it took me awhile to get through my pile.

I got Elmo pajamas this year. I love Elmo.

Dad also got an Elmo shirt. Isn't that neat?

Papa and Grandma gave me a new bike! Whoa! Weee! Whoa!

Mom and Dad got me a remote control car. (Justin! Car! Stuck! - that translates to "Hey Justin, my car is stuck. Come and get it unstuck for me!")

Christmas Eve

Guess who came and visited me on Christmas Eve? Ho Ho did!!
He brought me a Thomas the Train radio! Isn't that neat?

We all liked to see Santa. Unfortunately Justin was in the bathroom the whole time and missed Santa. Maybe next year Justin.

Christmas Eve Morning

Christmas Eve Morning (does that even make sense?) started with Papa making Sugar Pancakes. Yummy. Then it was time to do some baking for Grandma Norma's Christmas party.

I was in charge of frosting the cookies.

Dad went with Papa and Justin ice fishing while we baked. Here is the fish he caught.

This isn't a bear. It is Papa.

Whoa Justin!! That is quite the fish!

Jillian and Brady's Birthday

On December 22nd, we celebrated Jillian and Brady's birthdays by going to El Torro Viejo.

The silly hats always create a laugh.... but I had even a better idea for a laugh which involved Elmo......

Shaving With Papa

I grew up a lot while I was living with Grandma and Papa. In fact, I grew up so much that I needed to start shaving everyday. Papa would let me use his shaver. I like how the buzz feels on my cheek. This is what we did every morning. I even learned where Papa kept the shaver, and I would go shave by myself.

New House

There is a lot to do in our new house. First we had to have that lovely red carpet ripped out. It was in every room. We are having wood floor and new carpet put in. Then we are painting the doors and the baseboards white. There is also a lot of cleaning to be done!

-

I haven't had to do much in the new house. Mimi and my cousins are out of school for Christmas break, so I have been helping Aunt Michelle babysit them. I try to help where I can.

Busy

I have kept myself pretty busy while living at Grandma's. I try to help Brittany out in the office as often as I can.

Mall

Last Tuesday, I went with Mom and Grandma to close on our new house. We stopped by Ogden mall and saw Santa. He wasn't the jolliest of fellows, and I wasn't so sure about him.

But there was something awesome at the mall!! A train! Grandma and I rode it. I waved out the window and said hi to everyone! After the first ride I threw such a tantrum because I wanted to ride it again. Grandma is a sucker and let me.

But I wanted to ride it again and again. Here I am really mad that I had to go home.

Shopping

Grandma has put me in charge of grocery shopping while I am staying with her.

Yum. Cupcakes.

Let It Snow!

Here I am helping Grandpa out by shoveling the snow. Boy, there sure was a lot of it!

After awhile, I gave Grandpa a break from shoveling and let him pull me in a sled.

Dad thought that pulling me looked like fun, so I gave him a turn too.

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas!

I Scream, You Scream!

Sneaking Candy

Oh look. The stool is right by that open cupboard that has candy in it. Hmmm.... If I hurry, Mom won't see.

Orange sticks! Yum!!

Good thing Mom loves a photo opportunity more than stopping me!
