My 2nd Birthday

Wow did I have a great birthday! Mommy and Daddy got me a Thomas the Train bed.



It's great! I can't say Thomas yet, so I call him Puh. Auntie Ellen and Mommy and I drove out in her truck to pick it up. I love riding in the truck! Thanks Auntie Ellen! Puh is fast becoming one of my favorites.


Then I got to have a birthday party! It was a Veggie Tales party. There were lots of balloons - I loooove balloons and a cupcake cake that looked like Bob the Tomato and even some cupcakes that looked like the French Peas.
Lots of friends came. We had pizza and veggies and fruit. We played games and played and had a great time. I got alot of great gifts too. Saba and Savta sent me a red Radio Flyer tricycle. I love it! I rode it all over the house.


Thank you Auntie Ellen, Uncle Olivier, Marian, Eric, Emily, Bethany, Bill, Aidan, Gavin, Georgina, John, William, David, Marilee, Noah, Jed, Kitty, Dana, Scott and Ilan for coming to my party and making it so special. We love you all!

It's snow, Sammy!

This past weekend Daddy and Mommy took me to the mountains to play in the snow. I didn't quite understand why I had to put a big puffy suit (Thank you Aunt Vanessa and cousin Aidan!) on and I especially did not like the mittens, but I had a good time anyway.
We went to a special place where we could rides tubes down a snowy slide. Mommy made me wear my bike helmet because she is paranoid and insane when it comes to me; she loves me! I didn't like wearing that either, but better safe than sorry.
Mommy and Daddy couldn't really tell how much I liked it, but I didn't complain about going down the slides, just about waiting in line. I seemed to have just as much fun riding the conveyor back up the hill.

I think I would like to go again soon......................snow is pretty cool!

Visiting More Family

After we got back from Florida, we went down to San Diego to see my aunts and uncles and Grandpa Ken and Grandma Debbie. I had a big surprise.....my Aunt Kiki was there from New York and my cousin Brooke who I hadn't me before! Brooke is two months older than I am so I really liked having someone my size to play with!

I had a great time playing the piano. Mommy and Daddy agree that I am very musical. I also enjoyed playing with Aunt Dani and Uncle Jonathan.
It was great to see Uncle Barrett and Aunt Stacy too. I hope we can visit again soon.

Fun in the Florida Sun

Soooooo...........where do I begin? I was a big help to Mommy packing. I couldn't decide which train to bring. We got up very early, 3 am, to go to the airport to fly to Florida. I thought that was really great! I stayed awake the whole time until we got on the plane. I got to sit in my very own seat, in my car seat of course, instead of on Mommy and Daddy's laps. That was so neat. When we got to Houston we had a layover. We ate lunch and Daddy worked on his laptop while Mommy and I explored the terminal. I really liked the moving sidewalks. We rode them again and again and again and again. It was a 4 hour layover. I went back to sleep on the next flight and when I woke up we were almost to Ft. Myers. Grandma's friend Marsha picked us up at the airport. She had her Prius and we weren't sure we could get all our luggage and us into the car but somehow we made it all fit. We could have done a commercial! We then drove to the restaurant where Aunt Ya-Ya works and had dinner. Then we all went back to Grandma's house. I really like Grandma's house. I like playing on the stairs and playing with Aunt Ya-Ya. We got to spend the next two days playing around. Daddy mostly worked, but Mommy and Ya-Ya and I did some fun things.
We went to the Edison and Ford winter estates for their annual holiday house event. They light everything up beautifully and decorate for Christmas it is amazing!



We walked around and saw the houses, cars and even Edison's lab! So cool!







Grandma Toni and Grandpa Steve came in next and we had fun playing with them. Aunt Vanessa, Uncle John and cousins Seamus, Darby, Aidan and Bridey arrived the next night. I was so glad my cousins came to play.



We watched Veggie Tales and Thomas together and played in the pool.

I had so much fun.
























On Sunday we got to ride in Grandpa Steve's boat and took it to a restaurant to eat. Daddy even got to park the boat. We went to the playground to play one afternoon.














Uncle John made sure I had a good time.



For those of you who consistently follow my blog, you know I am always on the look out for the best lawn chair. I continued my quest while in Florida to no avail. This chair did not meet my standards!













My cousins celebrate Christmas so since we were there we did too! We got up very early in the morning but that was ok because I thought the gifts ended when Hanukkah did, but I got some really fun things.

















I got Wiggles slippers and Thomas trains and new pajamas! Too soon it was time to fly home. I had a great vacation!
