Calling Grampy "Dabi" on the phone from my cottage in the basement. 

Anneke and Ilse visited us for the weekend. Anneke and I played with my new kitchen in the basement. We rang in the New Year together with a bunch of friends from our neighborhood.

Christmas 2006! It all started with the annual reading of A Night Before Christmas! We saw quite a bit of family this year. 

Grammie and I trying on some new clothes. 

Some Christmas posing with EmmaLeigh. 

EmmaLeigh calls for hair and make-up, while I yell for Fuff-Fuff. It's hard to get good help on a photo shoot these days. 

Pa Rump a Pum Pum...Little Drummer Girl. A loud drum! What a great gift - thanks Aunt Beth and Uncle Leigh. My parents said they're going to get EmmaLeigh a foghorn for her birthday! 

Breakfast on Christmas morning with Grandad, Grandma, Aunt Beth, Uncle Leigh, EmmaLeigh and my parents. 

Grandma Ann reading a new book to EmmaLeigh and me. 

Drum lessons from Grandad! 

Tonight my parents took me to see Sesame Street! I got to see Zoe, Elmo, Ernie, Grover, Cookie, Big Bird and all my friends in person! I had a great time. 

We were almost the first people to arrive. Dad bought me a program! 

Look how close we were! I love Elmo! 

I'M FINALLY TWO (this week)!! Grandad, Grandma Ann, Grampy, Grammie and my parents had a party for me. I ate plenty of the Elmo Cake that Mom made. 

Wow! TMX Elmo. He might take some time for me to warm up to. He's pretty silly. 

I love Thomas the Train Engine! Thanks Grampy and Grammie. 

Riding in my new wagon. Thanks Grandma Ann and Grandad. 

We decorated the tree this weekend. I picked out a really big tree this year! It's so big that I needed a boost to put the angel on top. 

Thanksgiving in Abilene, Texas -- Great Uncle Tom, Debbie, Grammie, Grampy, Uncle Brian, Aunt Meg, Keira, my parents and me. 

Keira and me. 

My Dad, Uncle Brian, Grampy and Great Uncle Tom deep fried a turkey. We were a little afraid they were going to blow up the yard, and launch the turkey into orbit.

The turkey is ready!

Emma and I caught up at Grandma Ann's and Grandad's house this weekend. 

I am feeling much better this weekend. I love the weekend - I actually have time to read my favorite section of the paper. 

Sick at home! I have a 104 temperature, so we had to cancel our weekend plans. I stayed in my pj's all day, and watched football. I ate a ton of popcorn.
