Minneapolis

We went to Minneapolis for spring break. One last vacation with just me, mom & dad before the baby comes. We had so much fun! We stayed right next to the Mall of America so we didn't have to get back in the truck for the whole trip except to drive to the zoo.

My new Dora backpack from the Nickelodean Park

Only 2 pictures from the zoo

Doing a puzzle in the hotel room, with one of my new dresses on. Mom bought all of my clothes for summer, I'm ready for the warm weather.

One of the mornings there were kids activities in the mall. This guy from Madagascar was there singing and dancing. I didn't know who he was but I sure was quick to join in the dancing.

Holding my baby on my new stool from IKEA. Mom & Dad bought tons of stuff there for our new house.

I loved the rainforest cafe.

The rides were a lot of fun too. Mommy couldn't go on them with me. Daddy took me on all of the ones that I was allowed to go on. He was very lucky that I was too small to go on some of the bigger rides.

Riding on Dora's train, Azul.

The water park at the hotel! I loved it. I have never swam that much ever before. The first 3 days I swam 3 times a day, then the next day the water seemed colder and then I was done. So mom and dad were glad they let me swim like crazy those first 3 days.

I'm 3

Well, we did it. We finally moved into our new house. Just in time for my birthday. We took some pics before we moved in, and haven't really taken any since. We moved the weekend of my birthday so we were really busy, then the flu and cough and colds went through the family again, and hockey playoffs were very busy too. Now we are finally settling in, and getting everything in place for the baby to come. Here are a few pics of the house because everyone is asking, and a bunch of birthday pics.

My room before moving in, balloons are all ready for the party!

The kitchen, pretty much finished


Ready to splash in the puddles, we've had a few nice days and we've had to take advantage of them because in between the few nice days are very nasty cold windy days.

present time!

I sure liked my birthday card from Oak & Bella

Zuzu pet... thanks Auntie Hollie

Bella & I thinking that we are very silly sticking our fingers in the cake

Very excited about singing Happy Birthday

Opening presents from Mom & Dad and Grandma & Grandpa in the morning, as soon as I woke up.

Christmas

We didn't get very many pictures taken at Christmas this year. With me and mom both not feeling good, not everything went as planned. But here are a few...better late than never.

First stop was Grandpa Franks cabin. I opened my first presents of the season and impressed dad by opening each present very slowly and checking them all out and being very thankful. Dad wanted to make sure I didn't open them all as fast as I could and want more more more.

Dora mini golf was just one of the presents I got from Grandpa Frank

Here I am all ready for the Christmas Eve program. Mom got my hair all curled. And I am wearing her coat from when she was a little girl.

Me & Daddy

Me & Mommy & her big belly!

After the program we went to George & Debs for snacks, playing and presents. I stayed up till after midnight! Here are Oakley, Bella & I. One pictures where we are all sitting nice.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning I woke up and Santa had drank all of his milk and eaten his cookies. He even left crumbs. I couldn't beleive it, and he left his plate on top of a huge present that he left for me....the train set that I had been asking for from him all month.

After presents at home we went to Grandma & Grandpas for more presents. Here is my new dollhouse.

Playing and more playing!!

The next day we went to Fargo with Grandma, Bev, Grandpa Ron, Rolly, Lana, Nate & Ginny. We were so busy swimming and shopping we didn't get any pictures. I also opened up my presents from them when we got home. New movies, and Dora lego and a trampoline for the backyard when we move to our new house!
