CHRISTMAS 2006

We spent Christmas in Hubbard, Oregon at my Uncle Ron and Aunt Kara's house. They just got done remodeling their house and we were their FIRST guests!! The house is absolutely beautiful. It is an old farmhouse that Ron's parents used to live it and they gutted and redid the whole house. It looks so nice. I was glad to spend my first Christmas there. Grandpa and Grandma Histand of course were there too along with my cousins Dahpne and Ellis. Here are a collage of pictures from our time there. We had a lot of fun !





More pictures from Christmas. I got lots of
books this Christmas. Mommy is going to be
busy reading to me. Daphne and Ellis loved
to play with me, hold me and kiss me all over.
Can't wait till I can chase them around.
My Aunt Tara got me my cute Christmas
pajamas and Grandma Hess got me my
cute Christmas sweater.




















Family picture time!! We all tried to sit still
and smile as best as we could. We had quite
the time!! So many pictures.



















This is me in the airport. We flew to Portland
Friday night and come home Monday, Christmas
day. I slept the whole way there and the
whole way home. Daddy and mommy were
very happy that I travel so well.















My family is front of the fireplace. We had
a nice ham dinner on Sunday and did our gifts
that evening. Then of course we spent all night
playing with all the fun things we got. Santa was
good to us all!! We missed David and Ericka
being there with us this Christmas, but are
thinking of them as they are in Ecuador. They
called on Sunday so we did get to talk to them
and wish them a Merry Christmas. I also miss
all my family in Pennsylvania, but will get to see
them soon.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
I hope you all have a happy
and wonderful Christmas.
We are going to Portland to
be with daddy's family. It
will be my first big trip and
we are flying!! Mommy hopes
I do good. We are going to
stay with Aunt Kara and Uncle
Ron. They just moved into
their house on sat. Can't wait
to see it. I also can't wait to
meet my cousins Daphne and
Ellis. We will have fun playing!!

Me in my first Christmas outfit. Grandma
Hess bought it for me when she was here!
I love to smile these days and make lots of
fun noises. Mommy is very happy too because
I am sleeping through the whole night!! Eight
hours.... she is so proud of me. Daddy said I had
to be sleeping thruogh the night before mommy
went back to work. Guess she did good!!















Can't wait to see what Santa brings me for
my FIRST Christmas!!

HI~I thought I should add a few new
pictures. Mommy and daddy got a
new digital camera for Christmas and
are using it early. So of course they
are practicing taking lots of pictures ,
of me.....







Me after getting a bath in my cute little
towel. My friend Ava got it for me and
it even has me name on it. Pretty neat!!
I don't really mind baths, I just hate being
cold afterwards. Then sometimes I get mad.















It has been pretty chilly here. All the foothills
are covered in snow. I hear they get a lot of
snow this time of year, but we don't get much
down here. Hopefully I will get to see snow
sometime and play in it. This is me all
bundled up, ready for a walk. We go on one
everyday. Mommy says exercise is important.
















Just another pose in my bath towel!!















Mommy gave me my first bath in the big tub!
I did pretty good, but I am not quite big enough.
I kept sliding down in it. It was pretty fun,
and I didn't even cry. Can't wait till I can
splash all around!!
