Good Morning!!!

Who knew it would be so hard to get my dada out of bed on Christmas morning? Him and that damn bourbon. I could hardly wait to see if Santa came. Dada must've been scared that he had coal in his stocking. Just kidding....he bounced back enough to help me with my presents and we had a great morning. I heart my dada. xoxo

My Stocking!!

My stocking is sooooo cool. It is so big and Santa has to stuff so much inside just to fill it. This year it was almost as big as I am. ALMOST!!!

New Jammies!!!!

WOW!! My Mom-Mom and Pops gave me new jammies. I really needed (and love) them. I wore them the night after Christmas and my mama and dada kept saying that I was sweet as a berry. Little known fact....my mama is allergic to strawberries so that was one night where she couldn't just eat me up.....thanks, Mom-Mom and Pops. Wish I could see you guys on New Years but, and don't take this the wrong way, I don't want to be anywhere near you if you're even remotely sick. Maybe we'll catch up next year. xoxo

Fun With Ribbon!!!!

I really love playing with ribbon and it was one of my favorite gifts. My gaga had some on a package for me and it was a hit. Sorry to everyone who bought me expensive toys or clothes. You totally could've gotten away with giving me wrapping paper and string.

Peek-A-Boo!!

I loved playing peek-a-boo with wrapping paper from my cousin, Jennifer. Thank you so much. Now you see me, now you don't!!! xoxo

Christmas Dress!!

Don't I look pretty?

More Gifts!!!

My Aunt Linda and Uncle Bill gave me lots of pretty clothes. I loved unwrapping the boxes and posing for pictures. Thank you. xoxo

Rockstar!!!

My Aunti Gigi gave me this piano toy and I love it. It has a microphone, a mirror, and everything. I practiced singing my new favorite Laurie Berkner song......"5, 4, 3, 2, 1 BLASTOFF!! Another rocket ship run...." Thank you, Auntie Gigi.

Santa, Where Are You???

I went to the mall the day after X-mas with my Gaga and Papa. I looked for Santa but all I found was his chair. He must've really needed to get back to the North Pole. I wanted to thank him for all of my gifts. See you next year, Santa.

ILLEGAL?

We were at the mall and my cousin Ty wanted to kiss me the whole time that we were at lunch. Isn't this illegal in most states? Maybe it's not illegal in West Virginia where my gaga and papa live. Just kidding. I know you cannot tell from this picture but, I swear, though I love Tyler lots, I DO NOT want to open mouth kiss him. Thankfully, he got my nose. Sorry Ty!

Wow!

Renting a fire truck stroller 7 dollars. Buying gifts at Pottery Barn 102 dollars. Gifts for me at Gymboree 32 dollars. Spending a Saturday at the mall with my cousins...PRICELESS!

Oh My God!

OMG! Santa and I have so many things in common. He has a big belly just like me, he loves to give people things just like me, and he has the perfect curl just like me. Actully he has many perfect curls just like me. We are like peas and carrots.

Ho Ho Ho

Santa came to Macy's and posed for pics with all the good little boys and girls. There was something suspicious about him...I think I have seen him before. He looks like my Uncle Bri aka The Godfather. I hope he remembers how to get to my house! I heart Santa Claus.

The Winner

Look at my Christmas card for 2008. My mama and dada say that I look so much older and mature. What do you think? Can you believe my mama put hairspray in my hair. I'm such a DIVA! My card rocks!

Okay...this is a little better

I decided to just go ahead and give a pretty smile so my mama would shut up. If I ever hear her say "Sammie, look at mama" again I might puke. I hope I never see that dumb camera again. I did get a lot of good hugs after I smiled like that.

X-Mas Pics

Why is it every year around this time my mama and dada make me take silly pictures? I never want to and this year I think I made my feelings very clear! My mama said that this picture didn't really make the cut. What does that mean?

Tyler's in the house!

Tyler came over to play with me on Saturday. We had so much fun. We talked, threw the ball, and played with my farm animals. He really liked the music. He is a good dancer. Maybe next time he will teach me some of his dance moves. I didn't really like it when I saw him playing my piano. Luckily his dad came to pick him up and I got my piano all to myself. :)

NIGHT OF THE LIVING CURLS!!!

i don't know what it was about last night but my curls were out in full force. my mama could not stop taking pictures of them. i really didn't want my picture taken because, as you can see, i've got a zit on my chinny chin chin. i'm still not sure if i like my curls or not but my mama sure does love them. she said she hopes i have them forever and ever. i don't think my dada cares either way, he just wants me to continue pointing at him and saying "hi, dada", which is one of my newest tricks. hope everyone is having a great week so far. xoxo - sammie

my mama and dada put the christmas tree up yesterday (well, my dada brought the box upstairs and helped with the lights, my mama did most of the work). dada said decorating is for women and took me downstairs to watch football. guess he forgot i'm a woman. the tree is very pretty. i like to sit and stare at the lights. i can't wait until i get to open all of my presents that will be piled under it. merry christmas everyone. fa la la!!! xoxo - sammie

THANKSGIVING IN CAPE MAY!!

i had such a good time at my mom-mom and pops' house for thanksgiving. the ride sucked but i dealt with it. my cousin megan and i watched some LB. she can actually sing the songs, she's so cool. i also got to spend some time with my uncle bill. i love him so much; probably because he loves me so much. his mustache sometimes tickles me when he kisses me but it's worth it. i wish i could see him more often. me, megan and ryan also piled on my mom-mom for a picture; that was fun. we had to make sure we didn't spill her wine though. it was great to see everyone. xoxo -sammie
