Another first: PINK EYE

I woke up this morning with runny, pink, swollen, painful eyes. The weekend pediatric physician service diagnosed me over the phone and I've now got eye drops to help take care of it. I don't like the eye drops at all.

But other than that I'm being a trooper about it.

(These pictures are the mildest, blog-friendliest ones we have. It's a pretty unattractive ailment...)

Pajama Day!

Today was Pajama Day at school, which means I got to wear my pjs all day long. Woohoo!

Lela didn't go to school today, she spent the day at Grandma's, but she wanted to wear her pajamas too, so we let her.

Fun fun fun!

A message for Daddy, who's away on a work trip

Sorry for the technological confusion there, these new gadgets can be so confusing!

Half a decade!

Can you believe 5 years have passed since I was born? And can you believe that I'm already a big 5-year-old girl?!? To celebrate my special day Mami and Daddy brought cupcakes to my class at school so we could have a party with my friends.

Now, don't let this shock you, but we went with an Ariel theme again this year. Didn't Mami do a fabulous job?

Just kidding, Publix did the work this time around - isn't it amazing? They're cupcakes, so it was super easy to serve them.

Before we could eat, everyone said a prayer and sang Happy Birthday to me and to my friend Albert, who shares the same birthday.

Then we got down to business. Notice that Lela came to visit my class for the party - she was psyched to hang out with us big kids!

Yep, those sure were some yummy cupcakes!

After eating we all got up and did the A Tooty Ta dance.

Lela got to stay for that part too. Then she cried when she had to go back to her own class. But other than that sad moment it was a great party and I loved being the birthday girl all day!

The big pre-party

Today was my pre-birthday, and we had a pre-birthday party to celebrate. (I'm having another party at school tomorrow with my friends, but this was for family and special friends like Ms. Jenifer.)
I opened some great presents, books, toys, clothes, etc.

And I got some nice cards from everyone too.

Of course, it wouldn't be a (pre-)party without cake - it even had my name on it!

I was so excited about the cake!

I blew out all the candles by myself and then wished, out loud, to be a princess. :)

Reading together

Lela and I are starting to share a lot of the same interests, and we have similar taste in books. This is good because it lets us share our books.

And our chair, of course, we like sharing our chair.

Sisters are great!

A new do

Happy New Year, blogfans! I started the new year with a big change - a major hair cut.
In this first picture you can see my old hairstyle, which was getting very long. (And yes, in this picture I'm wheeling Lela around in the babydoll's stroller!)

Mami took me to get it cut and they cut a lot off!

What do you think? Mami really likes it, it's a lot easier in Florida's weather. I like it too, I think I look like a princess!

We wish you a merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, blogfans! I gut up all aquiver with excitement at 6:30 this morning to go see if Santa had come. He had! At least, that's not what our tree and stockings looked like last night...

I paid pretty much no attention to that huge lump of wrapping paper to the left of the tree, but was fascinated with my stocking stuffers, from barrettes and headbands to M&Ms and slinkys.

Eventually though I discovered that big oddly shaped (and oddly wrapped thing) and discovered not only that it was for me but that it was also a real big-girl bicycle! I was so excited I climbed on before the paper was even off of it.

But then later I opened a few of the necessary accoutrements, such as streamers and a helmet (oh, and my ballet clothes, because everyone rides bikes dressed as ballerinas, don't they?), and got a better pose on the bike.

Pretty cool, huh? Unfortunately it rained all day so we didn't get a chance to try it out except in the living room, but I bet it'll be tons of fun. How were your Christmases, blog fans?

My Christmas Pageant

This year I got to participate in the Christmas Pageant at church. I was a lamb. (Or a sheep, I've been called both.)

Aren't I cute?

My main job was to lead the procession to the altar, so I practiced that, back and forth:

I also got to sing Away in a Manger, and I did wonderfully. Mami and Daddy and Grandma and Granddaddy were very proud of me!

A special visit

Today was a special day for me. I got to go to Daddy's Rotary Club with him. Not just that, but guess who was there? SANTA! I was so excited to see him I ran up and gave him a great big hug.
