Minnie's First Birthday!

It was Minnie's first birthday on Dec. 29, 2010. I was in Indiana with my cousins, so we celebrated with a party when I got home. We gave her presents and all the dogs came to the party.

Everyone sang Happy Birthday to Minnie and I gave her a cheesecake bite with a pupperoni candle in it for her cake.

She was so excited to eat it! Mmmm!

One of her presents was a tunnel. She loved it!

And she got a new bed!

Also, a new sign to show her job.

My baby turned one!

Pretty girl!

New Tween Room! (formerly known as the playroom)

Mom and Dad gave me a new tween hangout room for Christmas. They secretly transformed my playroom while I was at NeeNee and MoMo's house before Christmas. They gave me a DVD to see my new room on Christmas day.

New computer, new desk, new tv, new craft table, new beanbag! (which Minnie thinks is her new dog bed)

I love my new room!

Christmas 2010

Even though we spent Christmas at our lake house, we still decorated our tree and put out our decorations at our other house. We call this tree the kiddie tree because it has so many of my little kid ornaments on it!

Christmas morning!

I must have been a very good girl this year!

Reading the letter from Santa.

Santa brought me a new American Girl, as well as other things. I named her Alice.

She goes to school online at Inner Star U.

Minnie and Rosie in their holiday sweaters. Minnie always poses when she sees the camera.

This picture cracks me up! Maisie looks like she is laughing!

She probably thought she looked ridiculous in that coat, but I think she is cute!

The doggies enjoyed their candy cane rawhide sticks.

Merry Christmas!

Burton Cousins Christmas 2010

After Christmas, Mom and I went to Indiana to have a second Christmas with my Burton cousins. It was so fun to see everyone and my baby cousins are growing up so fast! There was snow on the ground when we got there which was awesome! We saw this neat model train display that had a miniature Indianapolis made out of natural materials, like twigs and rocks.

Baby Mac isn't such a baby anymore! He is so adorable and happy!

Lisey got this big slide from Santa this year and she had mastered it on Christmas day. She loves to fly down it!

Hazel with her present from Grammy.

All of us together! I spent a lot of time with the Patterson girls, but we had so much fun that I didn't get any pictures. I loved playing in the snow with them, and spending the night with them, and going to Katherine's basketball game. I love my cousins!

New Hair Do!

I got my hair cut on the last day of school before Christmas break. It is really short (for me) and I love it!

Here's the back.

Dry Ice!

Dad ordered some traditional British foods for Christmas and it came packed with dry ice! I got to play with it, YES!

I got my wand out and concocted this potion.

Then I added dish soap and watched the bubbles foam up!

And best of all, when you popped the bubbles, fog came out! COOL!
