The Red Coat

Mimi & Pop got me the most gorgeous red coat for Christmas. Mommy insisted I take a few pictures for them. She did everything but glue me to the stairs outside. I sat still for about 30 seconds- naturally screaming my brains out!! I LOVE this coat! Thank you Mimi & Pop!

Love to all,

Cookies for Santa

Mommy & I made cookies for Santa this year. I really love to cook and help Mommy so this was sooo much fun for me! I had to make sure that the M&M's we were using could pass regulation, so I managed to eat almost an entire bag of them. Then we used the other bag for the cookies. Mommy and I had such a great time. The cookies turned into one big cookie so we had to break it into pieces. I'm sure Santa liked them though because in the morning, they were GONE!!

Snow Woman

Our neighbor Judy- THE best neighbor in the universe- got me a snowman kit last winter. The other day when it snowed Mommy wanted to go outside to build a snowman. I was not interested at all. But I do love to wear the hat, scarf and use the pipe. The other night I took off all of my clothes, naturally, but did manage to keep on the hat and scarf. Mommy and Uncle Louis were hysterical laughing- so of course I had to ham it up!

GG's 90th

We went over to Aunt Stacey's Mom & Dad's house to celebrate Grandmother's 90th Birthday! We all had dinner together and then some cake. I had such a great time with Madeleine and Anna. We were all laughing, talking and just visiting. It was really nice to be surrounded by so many generations of their family. From baby Anna to Grandmother it was 90 years of difference. We brought Grandmother some flowers and a cake. I think she liked both! Baby Anna is getting big and Mac is funny, smart and cute as ever. Mommy said she has know GG for over 20 years and that she hasn't changed one bit. She is still so smart, funny and crazy as ever!! Happy Birthday GG. We were so happy to be invited to your party and celebrate with you!

We love you to the moon,

Mommy & Carly xoxo

Sunday Buddies

I was with Sam and Michael allllllll day today. We started at breakfast with Santa and ended with dinner and cupcakes. We were all over each other the entire day and had so much fun. I love to be around them, they are my soul mate brother and sister and I love them to the moon. Of course Mommy was clicking away with her camera!!

The girl who couldn't stop washing...........

Lately I have become obsessed with washing my hands. Every morning I drag my stool to the bathroom sink and use every soap in the bathroom. This new routine has added about 15 minutes to Mommy's morning routine usually ending with her pulling me off the stool with suds all over my hands and arms. I don't understand why she doesn't get that I really want to be clean!!

Love to all,

Rock & Roll, Chocolate and Peach Tea....

The other night I was listening to music with Mommy. After dinner she gives me a little piece of chocolate and some peach tea. This has now become my favorite drink. It reminds me of Mimi and Pops. I think the chocolate made me crazy because after I ate it I was jumping off the couch, yelling to the music and running around the living room. Mommy put her shirt on me and we were both jammin' out until it was time for me to take a bath. I was in there longer than usual because Mommy had to scrub the chocolate off my face!

Road Trip

Today we all piled into Mommy's car and went to visit Grampy at his house. It is somewhere out East and we all had such a great time in the car. We got lunch, watched Shrek and played outside until it got really cold. On the way home Mommy stopped to take some pictures of a few farms we passed. After that- we ALL fell asleep. I think Mommy & Aunt Kristin enjoyed the "quiet time" in the car...at least until we all woke up!!

Love to all,

Carly Victoria xoxo
