Brushing my Teeth

I am learning how to brush my teeth. Mommy went to the dentist today and thought it would be a great idea to really start teaching me how to brush.

Triathlon

Yep you read it, mommy and daddy completed the Hemet Tinsel Triathlon. These was daddy's 2nd time doing it but it was mommy's first. There were 5 of them that did it: Mommy, daddy, Uncle Andy, Aunt Rachael, and Pappy. They all finished!!! Mommy said she was tired and sore from the running, biking and swimming, but she felt very proud for finishing.

Play Date and The Island Holiday Celebration

Today I started the day off with with a short play date with Aubrey and Molly. Their mommy, Caroline, has been friends with my mommy since Kindergarten. We had fun playing and eating lunch together. It was a short play date because my family was going to The Island Holiday Celebration. Our neighborhood held a Holiday Celebration for all the kids. It started with Santa driving up and down each street, then he finally ended up at the park and as letting us take pictures with him and he had gifts for all of us kids. Mommy and daddy let me eat a cookie while I was at the park. It was so yummy. It was also nice to see all our neighbors. I even got to see my good friend Celeste and Deavon.

Margarita Party

Tonight mommy and daddy held a Margarita Christmas Party. They had the Margarita machine set up in the kitchen, a long with the Law's kegerator, and lots of Mexican appetizers for everyone to enjoy. Before the party everyone was busy in the kitchen with food they turned Elmo on the TV for Luc and I. Well we really were not interested in it for awhile, then all of a sudden it got very quiet and Uncle Andy found us 2 kiddos sitting in front of the TV side by side watching Elmo. Super sweet! Mommy was super busy cooking, talking, etc she did not take many pictures but here are a couple. Mommy was very upset she did not get a good picture of me in my dress someone had got me from Puetro Vallarata that night.

Playing a game with the White Elephant gits everyone brought. They could not spend more than $10 and it had to be from Big Lots.

Everyone was laughing and having a blast.

Christmas Tree and Decorating It

We went and got out Christmas tree tonight. It was so much fun looking at all the trees and trying to find the perfect one to put up in our house. I pointed lots of them out to daddy before deciding on the best one. Once we got home we began decorating it. Also all the Christmas lights that daddy had put up that day were lit. Our house was glowing with pretty lights and a Santa Claus on a Choo Choo train in the front yard. I was so excited when we got out of the car I had to go over and say hi to Santa. (I can say Santa by the way) Once we got the tree up the Law's joined us for dinner and trimming of the tree. Luc and I had fun playing and helping hang or place ornaments on the tree. Once we were done mommy wanted to get a picture of Luc and I in front of the tree. Well, as you can see that really was not going to happen, getting the 2 of us to look the same way, at the same time did not work.
