It's the Holiday Season!

I am so excited for Christmas time. We have been singing Christmas carols, decorating up a storm and counting down the days with our Advent calendar.

We went with Nana and Papa to pick out the "best Christmas tree ever!" I am pretty sure we found it.
THE Tree!

I picked out the perfect spot...

and helped unpack all the ornaments...

and covered the tree in garland and beads and lights!

Mom and Dad and I checked out Santa after I posed for a few Christmas card photos.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Thanksgiving and Aunt B's Shower

The whole Holbrook clan, as well as GG and Uncle Steve, came down to Atlanta for Thanksgiving and Aunt B and Chris's Shower. Our weekend was packed with activities, excitement, and a house full of guests! We all ran the Gobble Jog on Thanksgiving morning. Here I am afterward stricking my best "dancer pose" in my fancy new tutu from GG.

My cousins and I burned off some serious Turkey Day calories after dinner.

The girls, at Aunt B and Chris's couples shower!

I had to get in on the action at the shower...helping Aunt B with all of her gifts!

Par-tay!

It was a beautiful day for my birthday soiree. My family came to celebrate my 2nd year with cake, ice cream, and fun!Making a wish with Mom and Dad.

Yes! I am 2!

Mmmm. More delicious food for my special day. Homemade chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream.

The loot. Thank you to everyone who brought and sent gifts and cards for me. I am so grateful.

A monkey helmet from Grammy and 'Pa. Hmmm....I wonder what Mom and Dad got me?

That's right, folks! It is a TRICYCLE!

I love it! I am getting to be a pretty big girl.

My 2nd Birthday!

Can you believe that I am 2 years old?! This milestone is surely deserving of a pancake dinner!

Dad and I made pancakes and bacon together.

Happy Birthday to me! My favorite meal!

Mom and I are so excited after watching my new "Super Why!" DVD.

My pediatrician says I am big enough and old enough to face forward in my car seat. Here I am on my first ride.

Grammy and 'Pa came to visit for my birthday. We had some great adventures at the park.

Dad and I relaxing after some serious playtime at the playground.

Fall Leaves

In preparation for my big birthday celebration, Mom, Dad, and I headed outside for some serious yard work. Where's Caroline? Can you find me?

Mom and Dad found a rake just my size so I could help with ALL of the leaves!

Halloween, Gnome-Style!

"Boo! I'm Scary!" Here are a few pictures from my Halloween adventures!

Selecting the perfect costume is critical. What a faux pas it would be to have two Elmo's at the Halloween party.

Meow! Showing off my Halloween wear and my soon-to-be carved pumpkin.

Jack-o-lantern designing with Daddy.

This was my contribution to the carving...holding the paper towels for clean up. I wanted nothing to do with digging out the pumpkin guts. After Mommy's own heart, I did not want to get messy. :)

Trick-or-treat time! Getting ready with Cousins Tigger (Mia) and Sheep (Abigail).

Um, Mom you have something on your face.

The whole Mowbray crew!

Pumpkin' Pickin'

We joined the Duncan Family for a special trip to North Georgia to pick out our pumpkin at Burt's Farm. There were so many enormous pumpkins!

These pumpkins weighed more than I do!

Everyone else in Atlanta thought it was a good day to go to Burt's too! :)

Discussing pumpkin selection strategy with my pal Carson.

I loved this tracter. It was more exciting than all the pumpkins, hands down.

Enjoying the hayride with Dad.

Fall Fun in O-H-I-O

Mom and I took an airplane ride from Atlanta to Ohio to visit my Grammy and Pa and my aunties. I also got to meet my Great Aunt Noraetta for the first time! At the pumpkin farm with Grammy and Pa.

Picking out a pumpkin for Grammy and Pa's house.

I love Aunt B!

The whole crew gathered at Marion's. Yummy!

Pa made me some delicious blueberry pancakes. I preferred to eat the blueberries first.

On a walk along Little Beaver Creek.

Checking out the 'Creek with Aunt Audrey.

All the ladies

This was Pa's horsey when he was little. He cleaned it up just for me!

Grammy and Pa had awesome toys at their house. This was my favorite, and I pulled it around and around the house all weekend long!
