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.

Kindermusik

A couple of weeks ago we went to a Kindermusik class with Mrs. Holly, Mrs. Mary, Gavin, Laci, and Addison. They class was great and I loved getting to see everyone. We went to eat lunch at Chick-fil-A afterwards and play in the play area. Me and Gavin pretended to be Mommy and Daddy and Addison was our baby, not sure that Daddy really cared for that too much. Can't wait to get together again.

Mommy's Disney on Ice Birthday

Mommy had the best birthday ever!!!! We went to Disney on Ice! It was excellent! Eventhough the show was mostly about princesses, I think I may have liked seeing Mickey and Minnie the best. Before the show, I said that Mickey was about to come out. Mommy said she wasn't sure if Mickey would be there since it was a princess show. When Mickey did come out I yelled, "Mommy, I told you I told you!" I just loved it. What a great birthday! I can't wait for my birthday next month!

Showing off my dance skills! (lots of videos)

Today Mommy got to come watch me in dance class. She was really impressed with everything I have learned in 2 months. I love dance class and can't wait for my recital in a few months.

Demonstrating my flamingo stance

Here are several videos so that you can see me action. I still get my left and right confused at times, but am getting better at it. In one of the tap videos I get a little excited about the air guitar and forget to do anything else. Oh well, all things I can improve on. All in all I think I am doing really well for only being 2.

Halloween x 3!

Halloween was very busy and fun! We started off the festivities with my dance class Halloween party on Thursday.

I couldn't believe that Stawberry Shortcake was at the party!

We had some yummy food!

This was the best class picture my Mommy could get.

Saturday, I got to go trick or treating. We started off with a trial run at Lolli and Pop's. I had a great time as long as the houses didn't have too many scary decorations.

Trick or treating was fun, but I still like giving out the candy better.

I also enjoyed playing and coloring with Kimberly

By the end of the night I decided to join a new family. I like the idea of having a big brother. Mommy said not to get my hopes up though, apparently you can't have a big brother when you are born first.

Sunday night we went to E-maw and Pawpaw's for their annual Halloween party. I had a wonderful time, but still not so sure about all the decorations. I love seeing Cassi and Kara!

We didn't all want to pose for a picture or smile at the same time.

Isn't Kara a cutie!

It was a Lost theme for Mommy and Mommy and Daddy's friends. Mommy is suppose to be Kate and Emily is suppose to be Juliet, their costumes are a little harder for tell.

I wanted to join in for a picture. I don't see why Tinkerbell can't make a visit to the Lost island.

Las Vegas!

Las Vegas was AWESOME! I had a blast. I did great on the plane rides and mostly just slept. Once in Vegas we were constantly busy seeing all the sights and having tons of fun! I hope to go back again on day.


Day 1-

The first night we ended up staying in the Flamingo hotel because of a mix up at Caesars Palace. Since they messed up our room they treated us to the room at the Flamingo and to some perks once we checked in at Caesars. They upgraded our room, gave us some free food and drinks, and even gave Mommy and Lolli some passes to the spa! Mommy really enjoyed the spa and said they even had a room there where it snowed! Too bad I was too little to go. The Flamingo was also very nice. They had a Flamingo habitat that was neat.

Day 2-

Waking up the first morning, excited to be in Vegas!



The Flamingos

A duck that thought he was a flamingo.

Beautiful!


Making a wish.

Tao at the Venetian, had bathtubs in the entrance to the restaurant.

The lovely ceilings in the Venetian.



We went on a gondola ride at the Venetian. The driver sang a Italian song to me in a Donald Duck voice. He was very silly.

Our room at Caesars

After checking in we went to see some of the night activities.

This statue came to life and did a short show. It scared me and then I was hesitant about statues the rest of the time. I would ask if they were pretend.

Some of the night lights.


The Volcano show at the Mirage Hotel. Loved it!

The pirate show at Treasure Island, also loved it!

Day 3-

Pretty entrance to Mandalay Bay

The aquarium at Mandalay bay. This fish was my buddy and kept coming to see me.

They jellyfish were my favorite!

This octopus was huge and really cool looking

The Princess Castle otherwise known as Excalibur Hotel

I loved the baby lions, so cute!

Day 4-

The M&M store was 4 floors of M&M things including a 3D movie we got to watch. This is the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign made out of M&Ms.


I called the green M&M the "mommy" one.

The only slot machine they would let me play with. I loved all the lights and noises all the machines in the hotels made, but they kept telling me they were for big people. Not sure why they would make something so intriguing to little ones like me if it is only meant for big people.

Family picture with the green M&M.

Me and Pop with yellow M&M.

The Coca-Cola store was right next to the M&M store. I just loved the polar bear. I may have laughed harder at him than anything else.

That evening we went over to Fremont Street. They have a light show on the ceiling over the street. It was so crazy!




Mommy, Daddy, and Uncle Brent went to see The Blue Man Group that night while I spent the night with Lolli and Pop. They said it was a fantastic show.

Day 5-

After breakfast we walked around the pools at Caesars. It is just gorgeous!

The cabanas had flat screen tvs in them!

We then went over to Circus Circus. They had live circus acts that were incredible!

We finished the day and our trip with 2 trips to Serendipity to have their famous "frozen hot chocolate"!

I will leave you with 2 videos of my parents' favorite part of the trip. The Bellagio Fountains!
