Christmas Vacation

We had a super busy Christmas vacation. First, we went to Fargo to house shop. We looked at houses ALL DAY for TWO WHOLE DAYS. By the second day, I was pretty bored. My mom and dad were really proud of me for behaving so well but, honestly, I didn't always want to. After we decided on a house, we drove to Cavalier. I got REALLY sick while I was there, and had to go to the emergency room (I had a temp of 105.7!). They did an x-ray, took blood out of me and then gave me a shot. For all of that, I only got a sticker. You'd think that they'd give you a pony or something, but they don't. Anyway, I had an upper respiratory infection and an ear infection (I'm better now). So we spent a couple days in Cavalier, then we drove to Grand Forks. We stayed in GF until Friday evening and then went back to Fargo. Other than being sick, I had a really fun time. I got a lot of great gifts and loved seeing my family. I already miss everyone so much.

It's Gonna Be Awhile......

My family and I are leaving for North Dakota this afternoon. We're going to be celebrating Christmas and looking for a house there. We won't be home until Saturday the 27th. I'm hoping to have lots to tell everyone about when I get back, but in the meantime here are some pictures that my mom took on her cell phone.

P.S. Merry Christmas!!!!

My Backpack

On Tuesday, mommy and daddy bought me my very first backpack. It's green and orange and has a picture of Diego on it. I love it so much. I wear it everywhere, even to bed!!

Update

Since I haven't blogged much in the past month, I decided to post an update of everything we've been doing.....

Here I am with Benny Boy and Santa. I was a little hesitant to talk to Santa the first time, but now I really enjoy it. Ben likes him too (as long as he doesn't know who's holding him).

This is Ben at the food court in the mall. When daddy goes for his massage, mommy takes me and Ben shopping. Then, daddy meets us and we all eat dinner together. I usually get Chinese food.

Here is a picture of Ben in the cart at Target. We go there A LOT.
Here I am talking to Santa again.
This is me at Toys-R-Us. I REALLY liked this car. Mommy and daddy said that I can have it when I don't wear diapers anymore.
This is Ben driving the bus at the Children's Museum. He doesn't have a drivers license, but that's okay because the bus doesn't really move.

Thanksgiving

I'm a little late in posting this, but we've had a crazy week. We spent Thanksgiving in Chicago. It took us a LOOOONG time to get there. It was worth it though. We had a good time playing with our aunts, uncles, cousins, and Grandpa Kim. We ate good food, daddy hurt his back, we celebrated Paige's first birthday, and Ben and Devin got baptized. It was a lot of fun (except the part where daddy hurt his back).

Cousins are the best!!
