Multi-tasking

I'm trying to get a hold of MomMoo, but she's not answering her phone...maybe I'll just have a little snack of some cheerios!

Christmas at the Rauches

It was fun to be at MomMoo and Papa's this year too! I actually got to see all of my cousins (except Jacob...I haven't met him yet). It was so much different than being in Louisville because in Louisville, I was the only kid, but here there were lots of kids. I was so excited because I got a carseat for my baby doll! It matches the stroller and the bunk beds I got too! I got some Littlest Pet Shop stuff and even some diapers! It was interesting to Mommy because I was interested in baby Sable. I wanted to hold her and kept pointing at her when other people were holding her. Mommy hopes that I'm the same way with my baby brother or sister that will be here in a few weeks. I liked following my cousins around, but I liked snacking and snuggling with Papa and Crew too! I hope my cousins come and visit me sometime soon...I already miss playing with them!

Christmas at Kuhls

We were back and forth between Cincinnati and Louisville this year. Mommy and Daddy really wanted to go to Southeast's Christmas Eve service, so after I woke up from my nap, I changed clothes into my pretty Christmas dress and we headed to church. I had a hard time going to the toddler room...I know I used to go there all the time when I was a little baby, but I had forgotten how big it was compared to my church and it was a little scary when Mommy dropped me off. Mommy seemed a little scared for me too. But it ended up being fun once I got used to it. Plus, Mommy and Daddy said they really liked the service. When we got home, I practiced the piano a little bit before I went to bed with Daddy's Daddy (I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to call him...CH?) Then I went to bed and the next morning all my aunts and uncles were there on Daddy's side to begin opening the mound of gifts! It was so fun. I was a little bit overwhelmed and sometimes I just wanted to snack on the cinnamon rolls with Aunt Emma, but I started to get excited once we all started opening gifts. I got lots of stuff I loved, but my favorite things were the rocking horse, the princess tea set, and some bunk beds for my baby dolls. Mommy even let me stay in my comfy Christmas pj's that Aunt Ellie got me!

Christmas at home

Since we were going back to Louisville and Cincinnati to see our family this year for Christmas, Mommy and Daddy had our small Christmas at home a few days before Christmas. I had so much fun. I woke up early because I was so excited to see if Santa remembered to come to my house early, and he did! But, I was so hungry, so we ate breakfast first. We had Daddy's egg casserole, banana smoothies, and Mommy's cinnamon rolls. Then, we got to start on the presents. I got a lot of good stuff. At first I didn't really know what was going on and would just look at Mommy and Daddy as they helped me open gifts, but after a couple, I started to realize what was going on. My favorite gifts were my new baby doll and the stroller that matches her, and my new keyboard. It has a microphone so I can sing as I play. I can tell Mommy and Daddy really love me!

My First Nativity Set

MomMoo sent me my first nativity set that I got last night right after I woke up from my nap. It's Little People. I LOVE IT! My favorite thing about it is that it plays a song that I dance to...Mommy said it was called Away in a Manger. I also love pointing to baby Jesus and putting different animals on the top where the angel is supposed to go. I'm trying to learn who Mary and Joseph are, but right now, I can only remember baby Jesus and the angel. Mommy is going to try to post a video of me playing with it and dancing to the music soon, so stay tuned...

Black Friday Fun

I didn't get up really early and go shopping with Mommy, but I did get to go later in the day with everyone. We went to the mall and I rode the carousel, got to see the chick-fil-a cow, and even sat on Santa's lap. Mom and Dad thought I would be really scared of Santa, but I liked him. Before I got to see him, I sent him a letter to tell him that I had been really good this year. I hope he remembers what I told him I wanted this year for Christmas....baby dolls and a healthy baby brother or sister!
