Fun in the SNOW!

Mostly Natalie liked to EAT the snow. YUMM.

Little Drummer Girl

Natalie liked playing the drums at Kohl Children's Museum.

Natalie Sings the ABC's

Natalie is getting to be a real pro at lots of different songs. She currently LOVES to sing the ABC song as well as Row Your Boat, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and there are still some Christmas songs we hear snippets of every now and then. She is obsessed with her two teddy bears that go everywhere with her and she also loves all the Bill Martin/Eric Carle books from the library. Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See gets read MANY times a day. We also love to read all the Elmo Look and Find books over and over. She remembers what is behind all the flaps and can even recite most of the words on each page. She is one smart cookie!!

Family Christmas Picture

It wasn't easy, but we managed to get a family picture under the tree. Natalie was loathe to sit still especially with 20 other people milling about for her to play with. She did eat some of Christmas Eve dinner and she loved opening presents with cousin Connor. We love our happy little family.

Natalie and the Wonder of Christmas

Natalie was a big fan of Christmas this year. She continuously sang "Up on the House Top" and "Jingle Bells" with a lot of her own words of course. Her favorite gift was a Little Tikes basketball hoop. She still tells people Merry Christmas when they leave our house, even though it is the end of January.

Happy Halloween from Baby Bee

Natalie really enjoyed Halloween this year. She liked her Bee costume, even asking for it the next day after we came home from Chris and Melissa's Halloween party. She ran around outside and learned to say "Trick or Treat" pretty well. She had a cute little yellow bucket with a honey pot and a bee hive on it. She also liked carrying around her mini pumpkin she picked out at the patch a few weeks ago. We didn't carve pumpkins this year, but her Grandpa George brought her a carved one that she thought was pretty cool. Natalie will not be eating any of her candy that she received, but that's ok, because Mom and Dad have offered to help. We thought she was the cutest baby bee ever!

Natalie & Connor in Matching Skeleton Outfits

Well - we took 36 pictures. This was the best one. We'll try again on Friday when we attend Happy Hersey Halloween, but I am not holding my breath.
