Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful family Christmas in Iowa!  I have lots of pictures to show you but dad needs a couple of days to get them all organized.  Here's a nice overview video of our Christmas Eve, including the 6 inches of magical snow that fell that day.  Enjoy!

Cuddling with Grammie

I love hanging out with Grammie!  She and I are planning a get together to give mommy and daddy a "time out".  I will stay with Grammie and watch TV and they can go to a movie.  Sounds good to me!

New Trundle Bed

We got this a few weeks ago and I sleep on it every night, usually with Skye.  I love it!

Yep, that's the game ball!

Daddy and I went to the Iowa- Northern Iowa basketball game on Tuesday night.  In the middle of the second half, the referee walked up to me and handed me the game ball!  He said, "Can you hold onto this for me for a minute?"  Sure, no problem!  I held onto that beautiful hunk of leather for dear life as the players rested for a time out.  When the game started up again, I tossed in the ball!  Cool, huh?

The game was really cool.  We sat right on the court, next to the cheerleaders, and in front of the student section.   There was always so much going on!  I got to high-five Herky a few times and even gave him a peck on the cheek!

Here are some more pictures from the game.  I grabbed the camera from daddy and took some pictures myself.

 I'm ready for it to start!

 We got to sit right up front!

 Basketball can be so intense!

 Yay, Herky!

 Self portrait- I took this one!

I liked this cheerleader- I took this one and several others like it!

Helping Grammie

Grammie has been in rehab for a couple of weeks, recovering her strength in her legs.  Camryn has moved in with us for now.  She is more energetic than our dogs but she's generally pretty sweet.  It is funny to watch her and Skye chase each other.  One of my favorite things to do is go over to Grammie's rehab hsopital and sit with her and Camryn and watch TV.  I will be going tonight and I can't wait!  I like to do it becuase it makes Grammie feel better and helps her get better!

I also saw the Nutcracker Suite yesterday!  It was so cool!  I sat entranced for whole show.  Even at the end, when I was getting so tired I was goofy, I couldn't take my eyes off the beautiful ballerinas.  I want to dance in the Nutcracker when I grow up!

Daddy has a surpise for Mommy and I for Christmas- he bought a DVD copy of Fantasia (both the original and the 2000 version!).   I am looking forward to watching the Nutcracker suite scenes with the dancing flowers and snow faries!
