Saint Patrick's Day - Parading in G-ville!

Saint Patty's Day Comes but once a year, but in Girardville it seems like it is a whole week that is topped off with their annual parade!

This year Claire had fun collecting her candy...

We got a picture with our irish cousins.....

Our polish cousins.....

And Mommy and Daddy!

Surgery Day

The same doctor who wanted me to wear glasses did surgery on my eye. Mommy seemed nervous, but I am not sure what the big deal was because I was in and out in no time.

It was just me and my Mommy and Daddy. We got to stay in a hotel over night.

I watched Television with Daddy

And even went out for a big girl dinner at Ray's Hawaian Fusion!

Surgery was a success!

Birthday First

I turned 1 in February Mommy and Daddy had a party for me at Climb-A-Lot Club House. All of my cousins and friends were invited!

I was a little scared at first.

But then I saw the fun Claire was having on the slide.

And went on a slide by myself

I had this giant cupcake to sing to.

And then I got to eat macaroni and cheese, pizza, ice cream and cake!

It was great! I can't wait until I have a second birthday!

Snow snow snow

February brought us a lot of snow.

I was pullling Alyza in the sled during day

Then at night we were all playing outside, but Mommy and Alyza only stayed out for a few minutes.

Hibachi Birthday Stacie

For Stacie's birthday we went to something called hibachi.

The food was good.

And Daddy was really happy after doing this trick and they kept saying "More Sock-E"!

The Better to See You With

I went to this nice doctor in Philadelphia who told me he could help me see better. So my Daddy picked out these frames and now I have glasses.

Sometimes I look over the top of them

But for the most part I think they are helping. Don't tell my Mommyor Daddy though because I like to play this game where I take them off 100 times a day to see if thay are paying attention!

Build a Bunny and a Puppy

We went to Build A Bear back in January, but I wanted to build a bunny for Alyza, who I named Bunny. I built myself a puppy, who called Puppy.

They are both girls in case you couldn't tell by their names.

Chick-fil-a RIP

Don't let my smile fool you.....

I'm very upset that this was my last "local" chick-fil-a" chicken nugget meal!

The Big Guy Came to Our House

Santa stopped by back at Christmas time.

Claire got her Barbie Dream House

I guess we were both "nice" because we both got a lot of stuff.

I think I like this Santa guy after all. Maybe I should sit on his lap next year.

Christmas Card....The good, the bad and the really bad

Christmas card photo shoots are always an adventure in our house. Mommy and Daddy were happy with quite a few shots this year.

There were a lot of bad shots though too....

After it is all said and done we do love each other very much!

It's a Boy!!!

Bobcia ( and Uncle Joe and Aunt Stefanie) got a boy. Welcome Cole!

I hope he likes dolls and tea parties or can teach us about trucks!

I Have What in My Shoes?

To celebrate the Patron Saint Nicholas, Santa makes an early stop at your house if you leave your shoes out for him to put a gift in for you.

I got this bird house stacker thingy...

Claire got a dollhouse.

Yeah..I guess we have some pretty big shoes!

Santa Can't Always Fly

The Day after Thanksgiving, we went to Shenandoah to see Santa jump out of a plane.

My Big Sister Claire yelled for him, but he didn't jump because it was too windy.

Mommy wanted us to get a family picture, but I guess Claire was too upset to pose for the camera. This was the best we could get.

WHAT A MEMORY!!!

Turkey Day - Round Two

For the second round of dinner we always go to Grammy and Pop-pop's house.

They always have a Santa Claus parade in Girardville on Thanksgiving and this year I even sat on Santa's lap.
Alyza was okay with Santa at first....
but then she realized she wasn't being held by Mommy or Daddy and got a little upset.

Turkey Day - Round One

Every year on thanksgiving we go to Babcia's house for the first round of dinner. This year I helped with the Turkey And Alyza just looked silly in her turkey hat!
