Baby Day

Ok ... so I know that this is baby day. Mommy and Mama went to the hospital very early this morning ... and then they called around lunch time to tell me I had one baby sister and one baby brother ... but they hadn't decided on names yet. I'm still pushing for Penny and Orange as their names.

Campbell Agnes
Born 26 December 2008
8 lb 7 oz 20 inches

Duncan McLean
Born 26 December 2008
8 lb 6 oz 20 1/2 inches

After my nap I was able to go to the hospital and see Mommy and my baby sister, Campbell. My baby brother, Duncan was in a special room (NICU)getting some extra special care, and I wasn't allowed to go in that room to see him. I was very curious about all the tools the doctors used to get the babies out of Mommy's tummy. But most of all I was happy to be able to see Mommy and Campbell.

Christmas Day

Wow -- what a fun, fun day. I can't believe that Papa Noël fit down our chimney and didn't even get stuck. Here I am making cookies for the jolly ole elf on Christmas eve. They were the yummy chocolate kind too!I was fascinated by the fact that he didn't finish all the yummy cookies that I left for him, but then Mommy explained that it probably wasn't a healthy choice to eat all the cookies that were left for him as he goes to a lot of houses on Christmas eve!I got this warm cozy bathrobe along with other wonderful games, puzzles, toys, and books. I'm not sure I can pick out my favorite thing ... as they are all fun and special in their own way.Here's my new baby doll from Granmum and Gramp. There are cool clothes to put on the babies too ... although mine are usually naked! Grandmum and Gramp came after lunch for a yummy Christmas dinner and to watch me play with all my new things. They then Grandmum will spend the night, because tomorrow morning ... Mommy and Mama are going to the hospital to pick up my new siblings. I'm sure glad Grandmum is going to be here to play with me.

My birthday - for real

I know it seems as if I've been celebrating my birthday for a month. And well, I have. But today I am actually 3 now. It has been great fun to turn three. I can do all kinds of things by my self now!
Here I am with my special tinker bell birthday cake. It was so cool and just the right size. I had the Miller's and Grandmum and Gramp over to help me celebrate my real birthday. And then of course, Josh actually shares my birthday with me ... so this was the first of many family celebrations together. Here the big kids are enjoying a bit of holiday coloring together.
And a cute photo of the big kids all in holiday red. Below is the birthday kids posing together. Josh turned one this year and he had a giraffe cake that Grandmum made for him.

While I really wanted both the babies and Santa Clause to join me for my birthday celebrations - none of them showed up -- I guess there is always next year!

Visit with Papa Noël

Ok, so after many practice attempts, I finally decided it was OK to have a long chat with Papa Noël. He was very nice and we had a long chat about being on his good girl and boy list. I also had a long chat about cookies, milk and some carrots for Rudolph. Did you know that carrots are what make Rudolph's nose so bright? That's what Papa Noël told me ... so it must be so!

We went to visit Papa Noël with my buddy Nicholas, his mommy and little sister. There were lots of cool things for us to play and see in the North Pole area before getting to sit on the big man's knee. I had a great time and can't wait for the magic day when Papa Noël comes down our chimney.

Sibling News

If anyone is checking here to see if I have any insights on when my siblings are going join the family, I'm sorry to say that I have no clue. We are still waiting for them! I talk to them every morning and suggest that this would be a good day to come out and play ... but nothing yet. Stay tuned.

Christmas Tree

Mama and I went out on a hunt for a Christmas Tree. We found a cool place where we could pick our own tree and cut it down. A nice guy named Matt helped us cut down the tree and strap it to the top of the car, where we took it home to Mommy. It was quite fun to look at all the cool ornaments that Mommy, Mama and I have collected in all our travels as we decorated the tree. I enjoyed putting on the lights too.

After we were all done we worked on taking some family photos. Here are our favorite ones.

Oh and the tree smells so nice! I can see the tree from my bed as I'm going to sleep every night, it makes me feel all warm and cozy. I can't wait for Papa Noël to come and fill up my stocking with special things. I've been working really hard to stay on the "goody" list! I hope I can keep up the good work until he comes down the chimney.

Snow Day

All this play before breakfast ... snow is so exciting!

Visit with Santa

Today was a cool party at Mama's work, there was a magician and face painting and balloon art. It was fun to see all the other kids too. We even got a chance to sit with Santa. As you can tell, I'm still not so sure about things and didn't want Mommy to go to far from me, but I did enjoy talking to him a bit.
