O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree! How lovely are thy branches!


Mommy was so worried about me wanting to get into the Christmas tree, she bought me a mini one of my own. I decorated it with candy canes. No hooks, glass, painted ornaments...pretty safe right? Let's just say this season, I am going to have the freshest breath for Santa. I learned that if I just keep sucking on the candy cane with the plastic wrapper, eventually something real sweet comes out :) Here's some pics of me putting up my tree with Daddy.










Raking leaves....it's a hard job, but someone's gotta do it.



Daddy proved to me that sometimes he doesn't know his own strength, that Superdad of mine! In the video, you can hear him raking the leaves for my enjoyment.


Before you know it, the rake was in two pieces.

(For all you Happy Gilmore fans, mom wondered if dad was simply testing it's durability and he placed it in the woods cause it's made of wood and dad thought it should be with it's family.)

Next dad got out the blower to finish the job. I was up for the challenge to do my fair share...





I am really getting along well with my pets now. The cat likes to be patted and I am really, really good at it.


Zoey and I play tug of war. I get SO mad when she wins and takes off with the her own toy. How dare she! Looks like sharing with dogs is just as hard as sharing with children.


I have been experimenting with crayons. I pick one up, touch it to the paper and wait for it to do it's job. Apparently my crayons need new batteries! Mommy's crayons always work, it's not fair. So I just dump and fill mine in a box.
I love stickers! I have mastered how to put them on the paper. I know it doesn't sound too fancy, but it's hard to get them to face the right way. Good fine motor practice.
