Mexico Bound

Well now that the holiday's are over we are quickly preparing to go on our first "Family Vacation." We are headed to Cancun with Mom, Dad, Granny B and Papaw Jim. We are staying for a week. It will be a week of first's: plane ride, ferry ride, trip to the beach and I am sure there will be many more to report on when we return home. I am sooo excited. I don't know what the beach is, but it sure sounds like fun! I will make sure Mom and Dad take lots of pictures. I will too with my new camera.

Love,
Bean

We had a GREAT Christmas!

Between Santa, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles we had a wonderful Christmas. Hermie enjoyed his first year to actually open presents. I of course helped him! I was the "Official Present Opener Helper!" Mom and Dad say we have to "share" all of our toys...we'll see about that!

Happy New Year to everyone!

Love,

Bean

Christmas Eve with Nana and Papaw!

We spent the day with Nana and Papaw on Christmas Eve. We made breakfast, cookies, painted and just had some fun!

Merry Christmas!

Our visit with Santa

We went to visit Santa today! I told him what I wanted for Christmas...a baby doll. I don't think you can ever have too many baby dolls, mom and dad seem to disagree with me though. Maybe we can turn Hermie's room into the Baby Doll room. My room is starting to bust at the seams. Hopefully mom and dad can figure out how to get a play room...maybe dad can just build one.

Merry Chirstmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas to ALL!

We Wish Everyone a Very Merry Holiday Season!

Setting up for Christmas

We started with the lights, I know I can get these untangled...I'm a pro!

Ok, I know there are more in here somewhere!

Bean helps Dad put on the star

Can we put the firetruck on the tree, Dad?

Ok, so maybe I'm not so much of a pro, but at least I lasted longer than my sister!

Thanksgiving in Chicago

We survived our first long car ride, 5 hours to Chicago and 7.5 to make it home! But, it was all worth it because we had a blast! We enjoyed a nice dinner on Thanksgiving with family and friends. We surprised everyone by eating our vegys first!

We took our first train ride into the city to go to Shedd Aquarium. Unfortunately the Beluga Whales and Dolphins were on vacation too, but we still had a great time.

Hermie fell asleep, he missed the entire ride!

I got my face painted with a dolphin.
