Here I am reading a book about a puppy with my stuffed puppy puppet from my Aunt Anne! You can also see in this picture that I am now sleeping in a big girl bed. This is lots of fun because there’s plenty of room for all of my animals to sleep with me! View high resolution

It has SNOWED in Chicago! Here I am with Dokey playing in our front yard. I love to dive in the snow and throw it at Mama and Dada and Dokey. 

Here is what we do on snowy nights — snuggle up with Mama and watch a Disney movie! View high resolution

For Christmas, Aunt Nancy and Uncle Tom got me a fun present — I got to color on a paper circle, and then we mailed it away, and today it came back to me on a plate! Here I am with this impressive work of art. I intend to eat every meal on it from here forward. View high resolution

This past weekend, I thought it would be fun to dress up in my tutu! Can you believe how big and puffy it is, still?! View high resolution

Last week, we got LOTS of SNOW. As you can see Dokey is in heaven!

My Grandma Jane came to visit right after Christmas, so we took her to my Wiggleworms music school for a Friday night jam session. As you’ll see in this picture, I ran into my old buddy Charlie (we’ve known each other since we were two months old!). He is a pro on the guitar! View high resolution

On the day after Christmas, the weather was nice enough to take a family walk at the BEACH! We took all the Chase boys there, as well as my brother Dokey, who had the most fun of all swimming in the cold water. 

This year, we had Christmas at Mia’s house! My Dada’s entire family came to Chicago to celebrate Christmas with us here. It was really fun to have the Chase Boy Cousins here to play with, as well as my new little GIRL cousin, Baby Mia! She is very cute! Here are a few pictures of the blur from Christmas morning. We’d just gotten a new camera, and hadn’t really figured it out at this point!

Here is a silly picture that Mama and I took on her iPad.

About a week after I had the TONSILS OUT, the weather was nice, so my parents decided to bundle me up and take me to a park. It was fun to check out the SNOW and play on the playground. But after a little while, I was ready to go home and back to recovering. 

During my recovery at home with Mama, my Grandma Jane sent me a princess tent! Here it is! View high resolution

Tonsils OUT.

The most terrible thing happened to me on December 13. Mama took me to a hospital in Evanston and a very nice doctor took my tonsils OUT. It hurt a lot, but I did get to stay home with mama for an entire week, and eat only good things like pudding, jello, and mac & cheese. I am fully recovered a month later, but I don’t recommend Tonsils OUT to others. Aside from the Thomas the Train table at the hospital, the Dora balloon delivered to my room, endless jello, and purple medicine, it was terrible!

Mama and I had a fun Friday night in December at Build-A-Bear! I had never built a bear before, but I picked a very nice purple bear with a Happy Feet pajama outfit. And I got to take him home in a little house! It was LOTS of fun. I’ll definitely take Mama back there in the future!
