My Stage Debut!!

No stage fright for me!!  :)

Mommy said I was the handsomest singer there!

My class looks ALMOST as thrilled to be on stage as I am!

I spotted Mommy & Daddy in the crowd!

Smiling in the spot light!

I am a born performer!

Singing 'Jesus Loves Me' with my class!

My preschool class participated in the church's Christmas Program.  Our number was the grand finale and featured all of the preschool kids singing 'Jesus Loves Me' ...  We were a big hit!  :)  I think that my good performance will make God forgive Mommy and Daddy for allowing Danni to watch the iPad in church!  ;)

Another Santa Encounter!

All smiles for Santa this year!

Santa was giving me the thumbs up for being a good boy this year!

Making sure Santa knows I want a drum set!

Santa is EVERYWHERE!  We saw him again when we visited our new firestation for a tour!!  Danni was afraid of him this time...  I was happy to tell him (again) that I am hoping for a drum set for Christmas. (Mommy and Daddy visited him right after me and told Santa that THEY wanted ear plugs!)  ;)

Decorating the Tree!!

Danni assisted with the lights...

I was the ornament hanger!

Since there weren't any blue ones in the package, the purple was my favorite ornament color!

Danni handled decorating the low real estate...

Pretty proud of my handiwork!

Let the decorating begin!!!  Now that our tree is home, it's time to make it beautiful!  Danni and I spent hours decorating the tree!  (We got to do it several times because Sparkle and Speckle like to UNdecorate it!)  :)   We worked as a great team to get our tree gorgeous!!  :)

Christmas Tree Hunting!

"Look Mommy! I'm in the forest!"  :)

There were LOTS of trees to choose from!

Guess who taught Danni the joys of throwing pine needles?

She was VERY proud of her skills!

Danni gave the tree a final inspection.

I LOVE this time of year!  It is FINALLY time for us to bring our Christmas tree home!!  :)  Danni and I helped Daddy pick the perfect tree!!  Our only complaint was that it had to ride in the back of the truck on the ride home... not in the back seat with us!  :)

Eastvale's Tree Lighting Festival!I

All bundled up!!!  

I was slightly excited for all of the fun!

Gracie joined us to go ice skating!!

"I like these boots with little knives on them!"

Not tooooo shabby for my first time on skates!

Happy little ice skater!

Our community kicked off the Christmas season with a tree lighting ceremony and festival!  They had a craft boutique, bands playing Christmas carols, holiday treats, a holiday hay maze, visits with Santa, and an ice skating rink!  Unfortunately, it was SUPER cold and SUPER windy... so Mommy and Daddy got tired of our complaining before we got to do it all!  ;)  I DID manage to take a pair of ice skates for a test drive!  There was a vinyl ice rink there and 4-year-olds were allowed to do it!!  I made my way around a few times and only took a couple of spills....  I am SO ready for Round II!!  :)

Wolf Pack Craft Fair!

Danni appointed herself the custodian's assistant...  she's cleaning the office chairs!

I colored a Christmas book mark for Daddy!

Danni did too!

Santa was there!!

Danni made her wishes known!!

I think Santa's elves learned soon after this shot to give kids their candy canes AFTER the photo shoot!

The benches were perfect for drumming!

The Beast princess....

Mommy's school hosted a holiday craft fair to help everyone get into the mood for Christmas!  We stopped by, made some projects, visited Santa, and nibbled on some goodies!!  :)  Danni got a fairy wand (that was soon taken away -- she's a little too rough when she casts fairy spells on people!)   We really love Mommy's new school and all the activities they host... we are proud to be honorary members of the Ramirez Wolf Pack!  :)

Dizzin' with Papa!!

Danni loved the giant Christmas tree!

She showed Papa all of the ornaments!

She loves strolling along with her Papa!

We had a delicious breakfast at the Carnation restaurant!  Yum!

We didn't throw our breakfast up ... even after hitting the tea cups! 

Rock climbing with Ramey!

Drivin' Papa crazeee!

Papa treated Danni to some 'princess make-up!'  It was her first time getting her face painted!

She was VERY pleased with the results!

She and Ramey matched!

She gave Papa lots of thank you kisses!

I LOVE Ramey!!

Craziness on the Up&Down!

I taught Danni how to read a map... nevermind that it is upside down!  :P

We ran wild on Pirate Island ...  I love the splashy bridge!

Treehouse invaders!

Ramey and I found lots of moneys!

Up SUPER high with Ramey's Daddy!

After Thanksgiving, we took a family trip to Disneyland!  There were 22 of us in our gigantic party -- and we managed to get on tons of rides ... and we had a blast!  :)  I got to hang out with Miss Ramey -- she is a fun riding partner!!  Danni and I got to spend lots of quality time with Papa ... and we were SO good, we go to skip our naps!!  :)  I think this is a family tradition we're going to keep for a LONG time!  :)
