Special Day Party!!

Since my moms are now considered legally married in our state... my last name has changed, and I've officially been adopted by both my parents. WOO-HOO!! I am so very excited! Definitely cause for a pizza party with my friends!!

We played lots of different board games...

...and of course had scrumptious cake...

...a few friends brought some really awesome presents!

...and several gave me really sweet cards and well wishes :)

...Mostly we just got to be silly & have FUN!!

Just like Mamma...

Mamma gave me my own big-kid camera... On New Year's, the sun was nice and bright so she took me for a walk to show me some pointers!

Me & Santa, December 2014

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Best Wishes for the New Year!

School Play

I was the lead caroler in our 2nd grade production of The Nutcracker. I was nervous, but my moms say I did a great job keeping the tempo for everyone! We sang Jingle Bells, all the way through, in four different performances. Whew!

Halloween 2014

I got to go trick or treating with my friend Isabella this year - had a lot of fun even though it was really FREEZING and then it rained. But we got lots of candy had a good time being silly together. Mom's camera didn't last long enough to get many pictures, but here is one of me and Mamma at a spooky house... I dressed up as a vampire princess!

And here I am with Mrs. Midnight, dressed in the Cleopatra outfit I wore to Family Fun Night at church. (Sometimes these days I don't like to smile for the camera, btw... I either like to be silly or I like to look serious)
