Introducing Cooper!

I just love my new puppy dog, Cooper. I think he is so precious. Him and Dakota are starting to become pals too. I don't think Dakota was too crazy about having another dog in the house at first, but now she like to play with him. My parents are very excited that he sleeps through the night and knows how to use the bathroom outside. He has had a couple little accidents in the kitchen, but they say he is just a baby and is doing very well to be so little. He got a good report at the Vet yesterday and they said he weighs 12lbs 8oz. I can't wait to play with him more and more as he gets bigger.

First bath. He didn't like it very much.



One of Mommy's favorite pictures. Pawpaw and Cooper bonding.

I had to join in on the fun.

I then wanted a picture with my "kota"

Happy Birthday to Me!

Friday was my 3rd Birthday! We went to see Tangled at the theatre. I love watching movies and also love me some popcorn. Later we went to dinner and then went to look at Christmas lights. When we go home, I had one present to open and it was the Despicable Me dvd. I think the Minions are adorable and funny. We watched the movie and then went to bed. Saturday was my big Birthday Party! Everyone came over to E-Maw and Pawpaw's to celebrate with me. Look for my surprise present towards the end of this post. Thanks everyone for coming and for all my awesome gifts!

At the movies!

Seeing my princess bounce house. It was shaped like Cinderella's horse and carriage. It had a moonwalk, slide, and ball pit! I thought it was so cool!



I enjoyed having my friends Cassi, Kara, and Lillian play with me.

Great action shot of Lillian



Kara is so sweet and so cute

Even E-Maw joined in on the fun

Pawpaw was so silly when we had to clean up



We had some yummy food

and my favorite strawberry cake

I had so many great presents!



My big surprise was a......

PUPPY!


His name is Cooper

Isn't he adorable?!

He has been so sweet and liked me immediately

Here is the video of me opening him. I wasn't so sure at first. I guess I just wasn't expecting my present to be alive.

Dance Christmas Party

Today was my Christmas party at dance class. It was fun and we had some yummy food. Mrs. Beth gave us a pretty star ornament. She said we don't have class again until next year! That sounds like a long time, but Mommy said it was only a few weeks. Hope all my friends from class have a wonderful Christmas!

Eating with my friends

I told Mommy I wanted to bring snowmen to class, so this is what we made. I thought they were super cute and they were yummy too! (sorry about the picture quality, taken with cell phone)

I dressed up like a Reindeer for our party

O Christmas Tree!

So, we finally decorated for Christmas this year. Not finally got around to decorating this year, but finally decorated for the 1st time since I was born. Yes, we know this is a very sad fact. However, we did get the decorations up early and had them done the weekend after Thanksgiving. In any case, I am very excited about it and love all the decorations. If you come see me the tree will be the first thing I show you. I just love it and make my parents turn the lights on all the time. I hope they keep working through Christmas.

The only thing I don't like about Christmas is Santa. I refuse to go see him and sit in his lap, and have threatened to cry if someone makes me. I don't even want him to bring me gifts, because I don't want him in my house. I even went as far as to say that I didn't need any presents. Mommy told me that he can just give the presents to her and she will bring them in the house, I guess I am ok with that.

Well, here are some pictures of some of our lovely decorations. Hope you enjoy!

On of favorite ornaments. Strawberry Shortcake of course!

This one is one of my 1st Christmas ornaments. It says, "How Delightful" said Pooh "to be so brand new." Very appropriate considering I was born just a week before Christmas.

Cute and simple 1st Christmas ornament. I love that it is a bell.

Just being silly with my little tree that sings and has a train that goes around it.

Gatlinburg!

Mommy and Daddy went on a trip to Gatlinburg with some friends the weekend before Thanksgiving. I stayed with E-Maw and Pawpaw. I had fun with them, but missed my parents. I am glad they had a nice weekend away though. Here are some pictures from their trip.

The cabin was already decorated for Christmas!

They went to the aquarium while they were there. I must say, I am a little jealous. Isn't this Sea Dragon beautiful!

I think the penguins were everyone's favorites.
