Happy New Years!!!!

I hope everyone has a very happy new year for 2011!!!

Also have a safe and super duper fun New Year's Eve tonight!!!  I'm attending a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's house since my Great Grandma Lucille came into town just to see me, plus I'll get to do all the things I never get to do at home like stay up till midnight eating candy and drinking lots of soda!!!  In fact, to show you how excited I actually am for tonight, here's a video clip of me getting ready to leave for their house ...

Epic Christmas

Mommy, Grandma Judy, and Grandpa Eric

This was the longest Christmas ever.  It seemed to last for weeks and weeks with all sorts of different friends and family coming over.  Here are a bunch of pictures and videos of all the fun I had ...

 Tree decorated ... check!!!

Just a quick note to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!!

I know, I know, Christmas was yesterday, but I really needed a day off to relax from everything, even blogging.  I've been so busy working my temporary holiday job at Target these last few weeks that I don't feel like doing anything after work but veg out and watch cartoons.  I promise I'll blog more about my fun filled Christmas in the next few days!!!

O Gingerbread House! O Gingerbread House! ...

 You were so much fun, to build up so high,

 But you smell so great, I just can't hesitate; 

 

 O Gingerbread House!   O Gingerbread House!  

How much I truly love you!

Avery's Big Adventure

I finally had time to blog about my Big Trip to the Big Apple that I took a few weeks ago, so sit back and enjoy all my pictures, videos, and memories ...

Avery and Ugly-Doll flying out to the Big Apple ...

... and then starting to search high and low for Auntie Em ...

 

... wait, I think I see someone in the distance ...

... there she is ... I found her and she found me!!!

And then she took me to this huge playground ...

 ... where we went down super fun slides ...

... and ran and climbed around everywhere, like in this video ...

... and I even swung in a neat tire swing ...

... yeah, I spent a lot of time in that swing that day!!!

Oh yeah, Mommy tagged along with me on my trip ... 

this is us eating macaroni-and-cheese 

after a long, long day ... can you tell???

The next day we all went to the zoo with my friend Morgan ... 

and oh yeah, Grandma tagged along on my trip too ... 

maybe she was still jealous that Grandpa  got to

follow me on my beach vacation last summer...

... we saw close-ups of frozen animals ...

... and tons of alive animals too ...

... both from a way down low view ...

... and an up really high view ...

... and we all had some difficult moments ... 

I don't remember what this one was all about ...

... but Mommy knows how to make things better 

... usually with lots and lots of ice cream!!!

We even had fun while waiting in the train stations ... 

here's a nice picture of me smiling ...

... and then here's a nice picture of Grandma & Auntie smiling 

... I guess we'll have to Photoshop these two pics

together sometime for a nice picture of all of us!!!

And did I mention all the CUPCAKES!!!!

We ate cupcakes every day, 

for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!!

After such long days, we had to rest a lot ...

... and even when Grandma was really really tired, 

she still always had time to answer all my questions!!!

Thanks for the super fun trip Mommy, Grandma, and Auntie Em ... and see you in a few days Auntie Em for Christmas time ... bring lots of presents!!!

Welcome to the Dollhouse ...

Avery playing with her new favorite toy, the Dollhouse

My good friend Nikki brought over a really neat gift that she made for me the other day.  It's a little house that opens up where little people and little pets live, work, and play!  There's a bedroom, dining room, kitchen and a playroom.  There's even real lights that turn on and off and on and off and on and off ...

Thanks, Nikki ... you're the best!!!  Have a nice relaxing winter vacation ... but be ready to play with the Dollhouse and me when you come back next year!.

Below is a video of me playing with my Dollhouse where it now resides in my room, right next to my bed on the other side of the white picket fence.
