L'Automne

Well, here we are--December already! I'm excited about Christmas, especially since I got to see Santa at the Thanksgiving parade. He had his sleigh parked right by my house and even waved to me. Now I'm sure he knows where to find me.

We've been really busy lately celebrating all the autumn holidays. This year I got to help make my Halloween costume. I was Perdita from 101 Dalmations and Mommy and Daddy dressed up like Anita and Roger Radcliffe to take me trick or treating. I'd never been trick or treating before--it was soooooo much fun. I got CANDY! AND Mommy's even let me eat it a little bit at a time.

We also took our annual trip to the pumpkin farm with Nanny and Grandpa Brian. Miranda and I had a perfect afternoon riding the ponies and camels (yes, camels, 'member last year?) and picking out pumpkins for Nanny's front porch.

Daddy took me on a vacation to visit Gumpoo and Nana Sheila. We drove all the way to Virginia by ourselves and I was sooooo good. Gumpoo showed me how to play the cello and I showed him how to design a cool tattoo.

I've also been practicing my photography skills. I think my feet are my favorite subject so far, but I've gotten some fun pictures of Mommy and Daddy, too.

We've had a lovely fall season, full of fun adventures (like a trip on the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier!) and fun family visits. I've stargazed with Grandpa Brian, made an apple tart with Daddy, giggled with PopPop and Ciaran, and even introduced Mommy to my favorite morning cafe where Daddy takes me on Fridays.

Now I can't wait for Christmas!!
