Mommy, daddy, and I went to Town Square to see the ice sculptures. I had a great time sitting on the ice truck.I loved the ice sculpture of the two dogs - they were just like real dogs except better because they didn't bark or jump up on me and lick my face. I really loved the ice sculpture of the Grinch sneaking into a Who-ville chimney! I wondered where Max the reindeer was??? Mommy thought that this ice sculpture of the birdie was very pretty. I even got to pretend that I was made of ice! This was the tallest ice sculpture that we saw... it was even taller than Daddy and he is one big guy! We had a great time looking at the ice sculptures and playing outside in the fresh air. Hope you like the pretty pictures of the ice sculptures too.
Instead of sledding - we went tobogganing!!! Grandpa and Grandma Matthews took me and my cousins Maggie, Jena, and Keeleigh. We had to dress up really warm because it was very cold outside. I don't think the temperature got above zero degrees celcius while we were visiting. I got to go horseback riding at Uncle Nathan's house. I rode a horse named Feisty! He was big and brown and very soft. I also rode another horse. He was small and bald and a little funny lookin'. He wasn't quite as 'fiesty' as the other horse and he had to stop more often to take heavy-breathing breaks but he's my Grandpa and he sure knows how to make my giggle with glee. Giddy up Grandpa! I helped Grandma, Maggie, Jena, and Keeleigh decorate a gingerbread house. Well - I did more eating of the decorations than actual construction but it's the thought that counts right? I played ping pong on Grandma and Grandpa's new ping pong table. I found out that I am a natural but I really liked watching Uncle Nathan and Auntie Leith play each other. It was getting a little competitive though and there were a lot of black marks on Grandma's wall so we had to put the paddles up and take a break. I pretended to ride the train the Polar Express with Grandpa. I liked being the conductor and I asked Grandpa to be Santa. We had three passengers along for the ride... white bunny, brown bunny, and tweety bird. I got to dress up in a fancy dress from Grandma Matthews and take a picture with my cousins (from left to right) Jena, Keeleigh, and Maggie. Don't we look beautiful and we all match too! Most importantly I got to meet my new baby cousin (the first boy cousin) Jesse Earl. He is named after both of his Great Grandpa's. I bought him this little outfit. Doesn't he make a cute reindeer? I was very proud because I got to hold baby Jesse all by myself. I also got to kiss and hug him. I had a wonderful time playing with my cousins and visiting my Grandpa, Grandma, Aunts, and Uncles. I can't wait to see them all again this summer. By then, I will have a new little baby brother or sister and Uncle Nathan and Auntie Leith will be close to having their first baby too!
I got to go sledding with Daddy, Uncle Kevin, Uncle Danny, and Pop Pop. Uncle Danny and I played dress up. I was Tinkerbell and he was my woodland fairy friend. Grammy took me to the Captain Cook Hotel to see the gigantic Gingerbread village and we got our picture taken in front of this big beautiful Christmas tree. Uncle Kevin taught me how to 'chuck a deuce' and then I taught it to the man that sat next to me and mom on the airplane on our trip to Canada. I also told him to 'look at my eyeball' as I pulled my eyelid down to reveal the red underlid. I think he liked sitting beside me. Here is mommy and daddy (and baby in mommy's tummy). I can't wait to meet my new brother or sister. I have so many Christmas songs to teach him or her. This year I learned to sing Jingle Bells, Joy to the World, Deck the Halls, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Feliz Navidad, and The Best Time of the Year (the song off of Polar Express). Santa brought me this awesome doll house. My Littlest Pet Shops, my new Tinkerbell Barbie (thanks Gma & Gpa Matthews), and my new Limited Edition John Deere Barbie (thanks Uncle Ben) love to have sleepovers in it. I got to dress up in my fancy dress on Christmas Eve and attend the annual Campbell Christmas Celebration at Grammy and Pop Pop's house. Aunt Annie and Great Granny spoiled me again! One of my favorite gifts from them was my Fancy Nancy doll. I also got the story book called Fancy Nancy's Splendiforous Christmas. Fancy Nancy is so extraordinary (that's a fancy word for really cool).
Uncle Danny and Uncle Kevin composed and sang a Christmas song for Mommy. It is an annual Christmas tradition three years running now. I liked dancing to the song and so did Fancy Nancy.
My Alaskan Christmas was very very Merry... I hope your Christmas was just as fabulous!
I love my new Santa socks. They have golden jingle bells at the top and little red grippers on the bottom. Now I can run around the house singing the Jingle Bells song and listening to the bells jingling on my socks too. Thank you to Daddy's Aunt Amy & Uncle Fugan - I love my new Santa socks!
