Hurray, hurray, I'm 4 today!




Today I officially turned 4 years old and guess what when I woke up my voice was still the same. I thought that it might have turned into my big boy voice but nope not yet.
Yesterday we had my birthday party and all the people that love me showed up to help celebrate with me. We had a very full house and I told mummy this morning that we need a bigger house so that next time everyone would be able to see all my presents.
My grandma decorated me a nice yellow Tractor cake and mummy put out lots of food and daddy even got my birthday video ready to show this year of all the adventures that i had this last year. Then i got to blow out my farm candles and dive into the stack of gifts.
I was quite spoiled this year and even though I got lots of nice presents I have managed to play with all of them already. Some of the things i really enjoyed are the "Motrin comtrolled car", the mini hockey sticks (both of these gifts are great for chasing the cats with, though I would never do this in front of my parents), the art easel so I can make artistic masterpieces all the time, some really fun games so we can have a game night every week now, a playmat for my trains and then mummy and daddy gave me a roundhome for my trains to sleep in and park. I can now set up a track for Thomas and his friends that is as long and wide as the rug in the living room!
I had an awesome party and then today mummy spent all morning playing with me and then tonight i got to blow out another candle on my cupcake. I am now ready to look forward to the challenges and adventures that being 4 entails.

Christmas & New Year festivities

It has been very hectic the last couple weeks because of it being Christmas and New Years so mummy hasn't really had the chance to catch up so i have taken it upon myself to let you in on what has been going on.

Well after all the threats by my parents I guess Santa must have decided that I was on the nice list cause I scored on the presents. Not only did Santa bring me trains like i asked for but he also brought me a station to park them at and i can be the announcer. Now it could have been that I really was on the naughty list but I believe that Santa was moved by the fact that i left him not only 2 cookies but also chocolate milk and a carrot. He must have been impressed cause he ate all but one bite of the second cookie and drank his milk and Rudolph even left carrot crumbs outside our door.
I also must have been really good cause mummy and daddy bought me all sorts of cool lego toys and trucks and so did my grandparents and aunts and uncles. I am also now set up to do crafts of all sorts from play-do to painting and then if i get exhausted from all the playing i can sit quietly and read some of the great books that I got. Then before bedtime I can rock the house down with my new guitar and microphone. I must say this being being on the nice list instead of the naughty ones has great perks!



Now don't get me wrong, Christmas wasn't all about the toys cause we also got to see all the family and spend some time with friends (who concidentally also got me a Diego train set). I got to spend time with my uncle David who i don't get to see much and then to make the holidays complete we even managed to get some snow time before our big New years eve sledding trip.

Now i really like snow and have been wanting to make a fort but on this day I wasn't so much enthralled with the white stuff like mummy was and so after getting all bundled up i melted down and went back inside only to sit by the window and watch the 'igloo' progression. When I deemed it was time to come back out and help with the final steps I got all bundled up again and helped with the scraping of the inside walls of our super fort. Unfortunately the weather being a might tempermental, we only got to spend one day with our fort before mother nature melted her away along with our 3 snowmen.



But that wasn't all the snow we got to have fun in cause New Years eve we trekked out to "Karen Creek" near Hope and together with my aunt and 2 uncles and mummy and daddy we went tobogganing down a hill filled with lots of bumps and lots of fluffy snow. Now you might wonder after my last experience sledding if I felt a little apprehensive and i did just a tiny bit but mummy wouldn't let me sit on the sidelines and so I forged ahead and down the hill i went (but no solo). We had lots of fun and even tried to make a train but daddy didn't navigate too well and the train crashed. We had lots of fun though when we decided to throw some snowballs and eat (my diet also included some tasty snow).



After sledding we headed back to Hope to have a great feast with my grandparents and some of my aunts friends and play games and eat some more. The best part was we got to have a sleepover and then a really yummy breakfast the next morning before we headed home and officially ended the Christmas holidays.


But don't feel sad for me cause my parents tell me that my birthday is in another week and I get to have my party next Sunday with all my family and guess what?
I GET MORE PRESENTS!!!!!!
