Year: 2011

Grandma Jo, Grandpa Howie, Dad, Mom, E and I went to Hollywood Studios to see the Osborne lights. I wanted to know if they were Magic Tree House lights since Mary Pope Osborne wrote the Magic Tree House series. Mom explained it was a different Osborne and I was slightly disappointed.

We stopped into some of the resorts to see the gingerbread creations.

Breighton was in his room building machines and called me in to see his new creation. I really wish we could have saved it and put it on paper.

Today I saw my first venomous snake in the wild. We were on a hike at Brooker Creek Preserve before my 4H class. Mommy spotted it, can you?

We had a wonderful time roasting marshmallows, drinking cider, and playing in the snow.

These photos were taken early before the chaos and launching of ice grenades. We had a blast.

Everyone got pelted in the face a few times and kept at the war. It took an hour before the pile was gone but it was such amazing fun.

Emmerson, silly little brother that he is, refused to get off the top of the pile.

We got rid of our tree after Chirstmas last year because it was getting old. We bought a new “Made in America” tree this year. It is only 4.5 feet tall but that is perfect for our house. We had a lot of fun decorating it with mostly our homemade ornaments.

E and I were getting along great as always!

Mom is loving my missing tooth smile.

So cute!
