Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

My first swimming lesson at the YMCA

On Monday I had my very first swimming lesson at the YMCS - no vest!!! It was so much fun and I can hardly wait to go again next week! I am the youngest one in teh class but can keep up just as well as everyone else, that's for sure! Chek me out!

DISNEY!!

We just got back from a week in Florida! The beautiful weather, a trip to Magic Kingdom, a trip to Animal Kingdom, and a visit with my Grandma and Grandpa and Great Grandma and Great Grandpa made it so much fun! I really hope we can go back next year :-) Here are a few pictures that capture parts of the trip. Enjoy!

I think Goofy is copying me!

Watching (memorized by is more like it!) a show in front of the castle with Mommy

I loved figuring out where we were going next and pretending we were on a treasure hunt. No need to be concerned that the map is upside down :-)

Not sure what this pose is, but it's pretty darn cute, isn't it?

Hey, a boy's gotta nap.......

Build-A-Bear Birthday Party!

Today I went to a birthday party for my friend Finley from school. She is turning 3 on Christmas Eve! I was the ONLY boy invited! We went to Build-A-Bear Workshop in the mall and made our very own stuffed animal. I chose a teddy bear and named him "Doggy". We got to help them be stuffed, give them a "bath", and tie ribbons on them. I chose a green ribbon for his neck and a little green ribbon for one ear and a little orange ribbon for the other ear. He is so cute. After we made our stuffed animals, we had cupcakes and juice boxes in the food court. It was so much fun! I can't wait to go back!

Here I am helping to put the stuffing in my bear:

Here I am putting some love (hearts) into my bear before he gets stuffed:

CUPCAKE FACE!

This is my shy, innocent look:

I LOVE my new bear!

POLAR EXPRESS 2011

Tonight, Mommy and Daddy took me to ride on the Polar Express! It was so much fun! We wore our Christmas pjs and sang Christmas carols, enjoyed hot chocolate and cookies, and even got to tell Santa what we wanted for Christmas. I want cookies and a candy necklace! I am really excited for Christmas now and hope we can ride the train to the North Pole again next year!
