First Annual Kids' Exchange

Auntie Debbie told Mommy about the new blog interface!  Mommy was wondering how all her friends were able to add captions to their photos!  Mommy is still trying to work out the kinks... so we'll see how this goes!

Here are pictures from our first annual kids' Christmas exchange (and adult White Elephant)!

Another surprise visit from Santa!  (By the way... blogging friends, how on earth do you get the picture to rotate?!  She's leaving this as it is for now... gotta figure it out later!)  As you can tell, sister still isn't too thrilled to see Santa!

 Group picture of the kids with Santa!  This was the best we could do!

Thanks so much to Auntie Deb and Uncle Stu for organizing (and a huge thanks to Uncle Stu's parents for letting us have the get together at their house!)

School Christmas party

Tonight was our school Christmas party! I was so happy that Nama and Papa were able to come watch me sing lots of Christmas songs.

We even had a surprise visit from Santa Claus! I told him that I have been a very good boy (well, most of the time! HA HA!)









Here are pictures of me with two of my teachers: Miss Lynne (left) and Mr. Brian (right). They are the best!

Christmas in the Park

Today my class took a field trip to Christmas in the Park. We all walked to the light rail station and got to ride the light rail together!








Here are pictures of me with my friends riding the light rail (above left). Below are pictures of me with my good buddies, Cole and Emerson... being goofy boys (below left) and a picture of my whole class (below right).

Christmas lights

Every December, Mommy and Daddy look at the Lights of the Valley website. This website lists all the different homes that have lots of Christmas decorations. Sister and I love to see Christmas lights! Here are pictures of some of the houses...

Connor's 4th birthday

Today we went to Connor's birthday party at one of my favorite places... Pump it Up! Sister has been to Pump it Up before, but she was really small. This was the first time she got to jump around and go on the slides. She liked going down the slide with me!











It's always hard get a good group shot of all us kids!

Here is the birthday boy with Uncle Darrell and Auntie Lorna. Also, on the right is a picture of me and Connor with some of our school friends.








Happy birthday Connor! We had a great time at your party!

iTouch pics

I brought my iTouch with me to Maui. I enjoyed taking pictures of EVERYTHING! I took over 400 pictures! Mommy had to go through them and delete most of them! Here are a couple of the good pictures! (Although, some may be a little blurry!)

Grandpa, Grandma & Auntie Ash

Grandpa Giddy, Grandma Colleen and Auntie Ash spent Thanksgiving in Las Vegas. We were sad that we didn't get to see them more! We were able to go out to dinner with them one night.









We also got to to the beach one day with Grandpa Giddy.

Hopefully we get to see more of them when we are back to visit next year!

Whale watching

Uncle Kory bought us tickets to go whale watching! This was the first time sister and I got to ride a big boat! We looked and looked for whales. Finally, we found three of them! We got to watch them for almost an hour!













Daddy likes this picture because you can see Maui in the background.

We had so much fun riding the boat and seeing whales for the first time! Thanks so much Uncle Kory!
