New Toys

I've had so much fun the past few days playing with my new toys. My BFF, Elsa, came over today to play. I really think my markers work better as lipstick than for coloring!

Merry Christmas 2008!

I love Christmas! It snowed and snowed, but I stayed warm at Gramma & Poppy's house. We visited Great-Grampa Keefe on Christmas Eve and I got to play with Rex the dog. Poppy made me a new toybox that is going to make a perfect dancing platform. Santa brought a dollhouse that makes noises and my cousins gave me a red bouncy horse named Rody.

Stranger Danger

All day long I kept saying, "No Santa, no Santa," but do ya think anyone would listen??? I might be on the naughty list this year.

My Stocking

Check this out. This is me in my stocking now, and 2 years ago when I was 14 days old. Look what a big girl I am now!

Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

Scribble, scribble, blue, green, orange.....(translation: Bring lots of toys!)

Love,
Kira

Best 2 out of 3

Yep, like I've said, I'm down with all my cute snowhats and even want to wear them around the house and look at myself in the mirror. However, once again, the gloves.

And the gloves come off again....

I love my snow hats, but what's up with these gloves? I can't do anything with them on!

Snow Bunny

Yay, snow! I don't know about these things on my hands, though.....

O Christmas Tree

My favorite Christmas carol so far is "O Christmas Tree." I usually sit on Mommy's lap while she plays it, but I decided to try it myself today.

When It's Quiet in the House....

Yesterday my mom was putting on her makeup and thought, "Hmm, it's way too quiet in the house right now..." and found me like this with her mascara in my hand. She took it away from me before I had the chance to create a work of art on the wall so I had to settle for my forehead and hair instead. Hint: Blondes don't look great with black highlights.

Yay! I'm Two!

Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Me! Tonight I had two friends (and a million relatives) over to celebrate my 2nd birthday. Technically I don't turn 2 until Friday, but Mommy wanted to have my party when Nana and Papa were here. It was really Papa's 70th birthday today so he got to celebrate too. With an Elmo cake. I had fun playing with Elsa and Elise and my cousins, and I was a tired little cupcake at the end of the night!

Raise Your Hand

I don't know why my mommy and daddy always say to me, "Raise your hand if you're poopy!"

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I spent turkey day out at Gramma and Poppy's house with Nana and Papa and the Thompsons. The only part of the meal I would even consider tasting was the pumpkin pie....Yummy!

Fairy Princess

I'm a fairy princess. In jeans and a puffy vest and sweater and boots.

I opened an early birthday present from my babysitter and her boys and had to put it all on immediately. I was even able to multi-task by holding my wand in one hand and turning the pages of my book with the other hand.

Baby Byrdie

Mommy's friend Jules and her sweet baby, Byrdie, came and stayed with us. I was a little "jelly" when Mommy held Byrdie and we found out I definitely need more practice in the fine art of SHARING!

No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

I spent the day at a Thompson Family Gathering so I entertained myself in Gramma & Poppy's room. Gramma taught me how to climb up on the bench and dive over onto the bed. Yeehaw! I started in ribbons and bows, but was undone by the end of the day.

Great-Gramma Evelyn's Coat

I had my 2-yr pictures taken yesterday in my Great-Gramma Evelyn's coat (these are the proofs.) She was 2 yrs old when she wore it in 1914! This is the same shot in color and in sepia, but don't I look like I stepped out of 1914 in the sepia-toned pic???

Family Photo Shoot

Mommy's talented friend, Keith, took our family photos a couple weeks ago at the Mukilteo Beach Lighthouse. The kiss picture will be our Christmas card.....think "Mistletoe!"

Ding Dong!

I'm know I'm supposed to say, "Trick or Treat," but I'd rather say "Ding Dong!" (Duh, it's the sound the doorbell makes.) After going door-to-door I realized there was a giant candy jackpot at my house already!
