Happy New Year!!!

Just got back from our traditional New Years Eve Dinner at Chili's (we have decided that might be a new tradition for us now) and we just wanted to say Happy New Year to everybody and to wish you and yours a healthy and prosperous 2009. I can't believe 2008 is over already! Well you know 2009 is going to be a big year for me... it's going to be the year I walk (more than a step or two), talk, and turn 2 years old! So you better watch out!

Happy New Year everybody!!

Christmas

What a great Christmas!! We went to Pensacola on the 23rd because Daddy was able to get off work a day early, so we had plenty of time to travel and visit. We had a big Christmas Eve party at Gramma and Papa Camps' house that was a lot of fun. There were lots of friends and family there, which means tons of food! I had fun seeing everybody and eating the really good food. Marty actually proposed to Aunt Katie at the party too so that was really exciting! Then it was Christmas morning. We were at Gma and Gpa Serley's house, so when I got up we started tearing into the presents. Aunt Katie and 'Uncle' Jon were there too. I really liked ripping the paper and trying to eat it! I especially like the shiny bows!! I got a lot of toys and things to play with.. and a Cabbage Patch doll that I like to hug and kiss. Then it was over too Gramma and Papa Camps' house for more presents! Katie and Marty were there and we jumped right into tearing open more gifts.. I got way too much stuff! The kitchen that Gramma Camps got me is awesome! I love opening and closing the fridge! Needles to say, both Mommy and Daddy got sick Christmas Eve and were pretty much worthless the whole weekend... thanks guys. I'm glad we were in Pensacola were my Grandparents were able to watch me and keep me from getting sick! Well, I had a great Christmas and I hope everyone else did too!!

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas...

But with the temps. in the 70's right now, I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen. Plus the fact that we will be in Pensacola for Christmas makes it pretty tough. Anyways... Thanks to the self-timer on the digital camera, we were able to get a family picture in front of the Christmas tree. After a few attempts, Daddy finally wasn't moving and Mommy wasn't blinking. Of course I looked perfect every time! Merry Christmas!

My First Birthday

So, on Friday, I turned ONE YEAR OLD!! Can you believe it?? My first year went by so fast!

We headed to Pensacola on Friday afternoon to be home with friends and family for my first birthday. Then we actually had my birthday party on Saturday afternoon with everyone at Gramma and Papa Camps' house. It was very nicely decorated with a "Wild Kingdom" theme. I had lots of presents and it was a blast opening them. I especially enjoyed hugging and kissing the boxes with the pictures of other little babies on them!! Then it was time to get into the cakes. I had my own little cake while everyone else had the big cake. It was a monkey cake; pink frosting with a monkey and bananas on it. Just because I'm a little monkey!! I was a little apprehensive at first, but as soon as I got that first taste of the sweet frosting there was no stopping me! Mommy let me dig right in and get really messy!

After that I played with some of my new toys and spent some time with the friends and family. Thanks to everyone who came and gave me a birthday present and to those who wished my a happy birthday online. Here are some pics in a slide show and a couple videos. Enjoy!
