A Couple More I Missed...

From Sunday at the club...

Dashing Through the Snow...

What a treat! After I woke up from my nap there was a lot of snow to go sledding in!! Here is a picture of me and Mommy (finally...) having some fun in the snow.

Family Pictures

This morning we got all dressed up and heading out to Birmingham to get our family Christmas picture taken. Here are some pictures from our day...


I had so much fun with all my cousins...I did not want to have my picture taken!

I always have so much fun with Diana!!

Playing the piano was probably the most fun!

Or getting thrown up in the air by my cousin Nicky (happy birthday, Nicky!)...

Now I can't go anywhere without all the princesses..

Here I am giving Papou a big kiss goodbye!

17 Months

I don't have much to post this week...all of our new activites are keeping us pretty busy and I have a lot of work on my plate. However, here are some pictures of Marianna on her 17 Month birthday with Grandpa and some pictures that I took today in the playroom.


Marianna is giving kisses to anything and everything...even her own reflection!!

Baby gets walked several times a day in our house...around and around she goes!

More Leaves...

Here are our pumpkins that we carved on Halloween day... I like to think the State pumpkin brought the extra luck to the Sparty's on Saturday! We got a lot of comments from the trick or treaters!

As you can see, the MSU pumpkin got a special kiss from Marianna!

Marianna loves when the school bus comes down the street...It might be the best part of her day! We make sure to be outside in the afternoon so we can spot the bus, watch all the kids pile off of it, and watch it drive away and wave bye-bye.

One last time in the leaves... Marianna loves playing outside and I try to let her while we still have them and this awesome weather!! She loves to pick up the leaves and throw them in the air or just put them on her head!

A little crown of leaves on her head...so cute!

Not before long though it was on to the next activity...running!

Princess Marianna

Last week, I was in Anaheim for work...home to Disneyland. My friends and I hit the largest Disney store ever one night and I picked out some gifts for Marianna. Before I left, she started really getting into the Princesses...she eats off a princess plate sometimes and loves to move all the food off of the plate and point them all out. I knew the purse (albeit extremely tacky) would be a huge hit as well as the figurines. Here she is lining them all up and cheesing it up for the camera...

DJ asked when she started "posing"... I think she thinks she is a princess...Princess Marianna!

All the princesses go in the purse....

MSU Fight Song

Everytime she hears the fight song...we get a little dance and (of course), clapping and cheering. Marianna is a Spartan through and through!!
