Merry Christmas

We celebrated Christmas a little early this year. We are off to Wisconsin on Christmas Eve to celebrate with Grandma and Grandpa Burkart! Love to you all and have a wonderful Christmas!

Dad bought me this Santa hat.
It didn't stay on very long...







Our Very Own Christmas Morning:

We started out with Daddy's tradition of opening stockings in Mommy and Daddy's bed. Mom insisted that I carry my own stocking.


Here I come Daddy!


Dad might reconsider this tradition next year.



Next, we ate cinnamon rolls warm from the oven - this was Mommy's tradition.


You can see, I pretty much dig Mommy's tradition.


Mom and Dad...I'm ready for presents!


We had to make some traditions of our own too.
Christmas dance party...I love it!


Rockin' out to MJ


Check out my disco ball. I wish you could see it with the lights off.


Merry Christmas Everyone!

Love,

Happy Halloween!

Trick or Treat!


I started out the day at Wieden+Kennedy's Halloween Bash!
Thanks Nana(Hanna)!

Nana needs to work on her product placement!

I touched eyeballs! They looked (and tasted) like grapes to me...


I bounced in a castle.


I even rode on a pony! W+K Rocks!


Here are a few more. Mom can't help herself!

Top Ten Reasons Why I Loved Summer . . . (and was too busy to write)

So, I'm back. The leaves have started to turn here in P-town and the rain will soon follow. No worries, I've got my Curious George rain coat and shiny green galoshes at the ready...is there a better time to blog? I'm so sorry that I kept you all in the dark this summer. Walking has proved to be quite thrilling. Thrilling for my parents as well! No more plopping me down on a blanket with some books and blocks. I'm on the move - and so are they. In an effort to catch everyone up, I've decided to share with you my top ten reasons why I loved summer. Take note, these are in chronological order, not by rank. BUT, I have to say, if I had to choose my favorite...well, you be the judge.

Happy Fall Everyone!

Love, Big T.
