Holiday Fun

It has been a long time since my mom has posted an update and there have been so many fun holidays in between. My mom and I travelled to Ohio for Halloween to visit my cousins. I had so much fun trick-or-treating in Granville and playing with my cousins. They were so nice to me even though I was a little cranky from not sleeping so well while we were there. We flew back to Colorado in time to trick-or-treat in Platte Park with my nana so I was able to get twice the amount of candy. It was great! I did get a little sick on the trip home so my mom and dad kept me away from all of my friends on Halloween, but we still had a great time.

We also had a great Thanksgiving with my grandma and grandpa from Ohio. I really liked the turkey and the cranberry sauce, but am not a huge fan of potatoes. My daddy really wants me to like them though, so I am sure we will keep trying.

The weather in Denver has been really cold and snowy. My mom and I are going a little stir crazy around the house, but luckily I don't mind playing in the snow too much. We also have so many great friends in the neighborhood to play with.

This past weekend my dad, mom and I went to the forest and picked out our very own Christmas tree. We got to cut it down and everything. It was so much fun. We were hiking around in the snow and we saw lots of horses and dogs and other kids. We are pretty sure we got the perfect tree. After we picked out our tree, we headed to the volunteer fire department where we got to see Santa. I am still not so sure about sitting on his lap, but he doesn't seem like a bad guy. I have the picture of me, my mom, and dad on his lap on my nightstand now. It is my absolute favorite thing to look at. There was a chili fundraiser there and we were able to get in the fire trucks. This was my favorite thing to do. I even got a junior firefighter sticker.

Wow!! No wonder we haven't had time to update the blog, we have been too busy having fun!

The other week my mom and I had a special visitor for the week. Baby Cash from Crusted Butte came and spent the weekdays playing with us. I have to admit I was a little jealous at first of my mom spending so much time feeding and playing with another baby, but overall it was a great week. Grandma Ott ended up flying in from Ohio to spend part of the week with us, too, so it was quite a treat! We spent a lot of time outside because the weather was so beautiful. I had a lot of fun showing Cash all of my toys and I think he had a great time at our house. We also got the chance to see Aunt Jolene on her way to Antarctica which was so great. She always makes us laugh. Here are some pictures from our week together.

I love Tuesday mornings when my mom and I wake up and run out the door to meet my friends at Einstiens bagels. The bagel shop has a great deal on Tuesdays where you get a bagel and coffee(my mom seems to like this) for only $2. We have been meeting there for a few months and have gotten to know all the nice ladies that work there. It is a great way to start the day when I get to see my friends George and George and Benji. I thought I would share a few pictures from our morning get together. We will have to take more pictures the next Tuesday though because my silly mom blocked George O. out of the picture.

Four Mile Park Pumpkin Festival

The other weekend my parents took me to a great festival. There was a place where you could make your own scarecrow, piles of hay to climb on, lots of great food and music. My mom, dad and I biked there and it was a beautiful fall day. We had a great time walking around the festival and playing in the field of pumpkins. Here are a few pictures from out trip! My mom also wanted to post a few pictures of our favorite outfit that I got for my birthday from my two aunts!
