Dear Santa...

BIKES OR BARBIES?!?!

Mom is really relieved that I've gotten past my wish for a bike this year. (Even though she had it all arranged to fly the bike back home from Salt Lake AND Denver) But now she's not sure that Santa Claus will bring a Disney Princess Barbie to a 3-year old girl...

But my best friend has two!

I MIGHT be happy to wake up to an SUV and car seats for my doll house family... but I might not.

Should Santa start my Barbie phase of life this Christmas???

OUT & ABOUT- the Midwest to The Big Apple

WISCONSIN DELLSAfter my number 3 birthday last month, we went with Spencer and Allison to The Dells for a few days. Spencer taught me how to play guitar hero.

Daddy helped me climb all the way across the lilypads!

This breakfast place was a real-true-disappointing tourist trap!
...but the statue looked cool.

I was great at collecting firewood. Owen was a good helper.

KIDS IN THE CITY
On the subway... with suit cases and a stroller???

At DYLAN'S Candy Bar:
I'm licking my lips, just like a kid in a candy store... hmmmm...

At FAO Schwarz:

I'm no Tom Hanks, But Kristi and I were pretty good on the piano.



















The Seinfeld Diner:

Mr. Benjamin is 1 year old

Benny had a BIRTHDAY!

Here are the best things about my brother this month:

1. He laughs when I'm behind him and he thinks we're playing tag.
2. He eats more than me at every meal.
3. He thinks its funny that he can find belly buttons under everyone's shirts and then scratch and pinch it like he is tickling.
4. He is cutting 4 teeth at the same time, so he drools on me an extra lot.
5. He knows how to sign and say "all done" when he wants out of his high chair.

We celebrated his Birthday in New York City. And Grandma Jane took Ben and Me to the Children's Museum there, as well as a few trips through Central Park- not all of which were on purpose:)
