Christmas is coming...

Gianna is excited to be getting ready for Christmas!



Gianna loves some of the Christmas "decorations" in our neighborhood, including Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Frosty...



...She got pretty brave and gave Pooh a "Hi-5."



Gianna has been practicing putting on her winter hat, gloves, boots...



...and sunglasses, to keep that low hanging sun out of her eyes.



Gianna was lucky as we let her open a few presents early, including an Elmo Christmas book and this great winter hat...



...and these super fun cupcake Christmas ornaments.



Gianna and her buddy enjoyed some treats as they watched the Chapel Hill Christmas parade.


Gianna was such a good girl, that we let her pick out this special fancy "puppy cookie" that she really savored...


...then as we waited for the Santa Train, Gianna did some coloring.


We capped off a fun weekend with movie night...Winnie the Pooh, a warm blanket, some milk...


...and yummy pop corn!

Yuletide

Gianna had lots to be thankful for at Thanksgiving time.





Gianna received an early Christmas present from her buddies Cooper and Hudson...



...her very own diaper bag, including a bottle...


...she was pretty excited about it!



Gianna went to her first Tar Heel Basketball game of the year and had a great time...


...she was apparently inspired...



...to lace up the hightops...



...and if the Heels defense doesn't shape up...



...Coach Williams might need her to lace 'em up for the Tar Heels!



Gianna brought Mommy and Daddy to her buddy Will's for a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.



We went to look for our Christmas tree with Gianna's buddy Will...



...and his Mommy.



Gianna let us know which tree she wanted...



...and was a great helper in decorating the tree.



We're almost ready for Santa!

Medley of Music

Gianna has been doing a bunch of singing lately (much to our delight)...See if you can tell what songs she is singing in her own special improvisational style:

November

Gianna had a fun end of October and start of November.



Gianna enjoyed some of the warmer fall weather by picking some purple African Daisies...



...which very nicely matched...



...her purple "tu-tu."



Gianna's purple theme continued by enjoying a yummy purple cupcake (or at least the purple frosting! ;)



Gianna helped with some pumpkin carving...



...then had some friends over to play "pin the nose on the jack o'lantern."



Gianna went to visit our neighbor Mama Bear who was dressed up in an angel costume for Halloween...



....then she did some Trick or Treating.

We hope everyone had a safe and happy...

...Halloween!!!

October Visitor

Gianna was visited by YaYa.


YaYa helped take good care of Gianna...



...and Gianna took YaYa to the Moon!



Gianna and YaYa had some fun with a brave butterfly...



...Gianna was a little shy at first...



...but Gianna "patted" the butterfly very, very carefully.



Gianna noticed a random big yellow balloon was floating near-bye...



...she was very curious who's it was...



...and where it was going to land.
