Trinity Christmas Program Pictures

In addition to making a video of me, mommies of course were fully equipped with a huge memory card and ready to fill it up with pictures of me at my Christmas program last Friday.  :)  Here are some of the "still" shots they got of me.  Unfortunately, they had the same problem with the regular camera as they did with the video camera in terms of not getting any good pictures of me singing with my class, but they got some great ones of me during the group song and after the show.

Brushing my teeth at home before the big show.  I heard fresh breath makes you sing better.  :)

"We WISH you a Merry Christmas!"

"Let's all do a little clapping..."

"Let's all do a little stomping..."

"We WISH you a Merry Christmas!"

YAAAY!

My Christmas Program at Trinity!

Last night we had our Christmas Program at Trinity.  I'm not sure who was more excited - me or my mommies!!  :)  I was lucky enough to have lots of support in the crowd.  Grandma and Grandpa McNamara came, Grandma Krumm was there, and Grace, Lucy and Abbey came too!  My class sang with the Ladybugs and we did two songs - Jingle Bells and Ring the Bells.  Unfortunately, mommies didn't have the best seats for video taping the performance, so they didn't get any good footage of my songs with my class.  Luckily, they were able to redeem themselves when all of the kids in the daycare gathered back on-stage at the end of the show and we all sang "We Wish You A Merry Christmas", complete with choreography.  Mommies were SO proud of me, and I was proud too.  (if you watch toward the very end of the video, you can seem me proudly proclaiming, "I did it!" to my teacher, Miss Jackie.  The first minute or so of the video is rough when Mommy was moving toward the front, but hang in there, the rest of the video gets better.  Thank you to everyone who came out to see me!!



Part II of my Second Birthday!!

Last weekend we celebrated my second birthday a second time with my cousins on the McNamara side of the family.   We started out the day at The Centre for several hours of swimming and some fun on the waterslide.  All of my McNamara cousins were there and most of my aunts and uncles ... Grandma and Grandpa came too!  Unfortunately, you're not allowed to take pictures at the pool, so mommies didn't get any pictures of all of the fun we had!  After that, we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's house for lunch, cake and presents.  I am one lucky girl!  I got some really fun gifts that I have been having a blast with ever since!  Thanks everyone for helping me celebrate turning TWO!

Mama made my cake for me.  :)

Mmmm ... yummy cake!

Cake makes me smile!  (or maybe it's the sugar that makes me smile?)

I wasn't the only one who enjoyed the cake.  :)

I gave my cousin Luca a kiss on the cheek with my cake lips.  :)

Part I of my Second Birthday

While we were at the lake, we celebrated my 2nd birthday with the Morawitz family and the Berkbuegler's.  My second cousin Graham also had a birthday coming up (his first birthday), so we celebrated together.  We had a yummy snack, a delicious Elmo cake and played some fun games!  As if all of that wasn't enough, I also received lots of great presents that I've been either wearing or playing with non-stop since we got home!!  :)  Thank you to everyone for celebrating with me!

The Birthday celebration started earlier in the week.  Mamma got me a lot of clothes, so mommies would start sending me downstairs without clothes on knowing I could just put on one of my gifts.  :) 

I'm getting really good at opening presents!

Yummy cake!

One of the games we played was a dress up game where each team had to put on all of the clothes in a bag and the team to finish first won.  It ended in a tie.  :)

Thanksgiving at the Lake!

Mommies and I headed to Mamma and Papa's lake house in Missouri for an entire week for Thanksgiving.  We had a lot of fun while we were there.  We shopped, played and most importantly, we relaxed!  For Thanksgiving, we had tons of family over, which was a lot of fun.  (and I ate a LOT of turkey)  :)  As a special treat, we headed over to Miner Mike's on Friday.  (after mommies had done lots of Black Friday shopping!)  Such a great trip!
