Happy New Year!

Cheers! I headed over to my friend Aaron's for a little New Year's Eve party, New York-style.

I found a few items I wanted to take home with me. Don't worry, my parents persuaded me to leave them at Aaron's.

Bottoms up! (Whatever that means....) I wish you all the best in 2012.

It Was Christmastime in the City

Let me tell you: there's a lot that goes into having all your family over for Christmas. For example, someone's gotta cook.

And that someone is not me. I opened presents all morning and rode my bike around.
I got a little silly.

Like when I borrowed Uncle Sandy's silly putty and crafted this lovely beard:

Later, Bamma and Bampa and I put together my new dollhouse.

And then I opened even more presents from my grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and neighbors. (Don't blame me for the lack of pictures! I can't take them AND be in all of them!)

Kermit and I waltzed.

And then I applied some stickers to my face, as one does.

All in all, it was a wonderful day. I love my family!

A Visit to Watts Towers

Hi! I wanted to get these photos up right away, to show all my out-of-town friends how beautiful the weather is here today.

I took my houseguests, Farmor and Dave, over to see the Watts Towers. There are the towers behind me.

I did a little exploring on my own, when I got the chance.

Later, I got a boost from my mom, so I could get a better view.

Merry Christmas to All!

I hope everyone had as good a day as I had today. I'm off to bed now, happy and exhausted.

I'm a Patron of the Arts, Don't You Know

I hitched a ride over to LACMA this afternoon and became a member of the museum. If anyone wants to take me, I can get you in for free.

I really enjoyed the outdoor installations.

I spent a bit of time running in and out of this one.

I eventually tired myself out.

After I recovered, I counted the lamp posts.

New Jams City

Here I am in my new reindeer pajamas. Thanks, Aunt Alison. They're just what I've been wishing for -- besides a Christmas tree, which I already got!

It may look like I'm helping to decorate the tree....

But I prefer to take the ornaments off of the tree.

Uncle Fur Face and Aunt Cammy

I hosted some out-of-town visitors over the weekend.

Uncle Scott is a big reader, so I joined him for several books. I don't think he cared too much for the Berenstein Bears; his reading was a little flat.

Aunt Cammy has the perfect reading voice. She should do books-on-tape.

We spent a lot of time outside in the sun, because they don't have much of it these days where they live.

This is the moment I coined Uncle Scott's new nickname. I hope he likes it.

And for today's big finish: my official Christmas portrait with Santa Claus! (Talk about fur face....)
