Christmas '09 in Steamboat

This is the first of two posts about our trip to Steamboat Springs, CO for Christmas. There will be more pictures and fun coming soon!!

That's right....my Grandpa ROCKS!

Grandma IS my stylist. She sets me up with new wardrobe items all the time!

Every day I got to open one present. This is a neat tea set from Aunt B & Uncle Ronnie. We had a LOT of tea parties during the week.

Harrison and I at the condo.

Just chillin' at the condo.

I love mustard! I love mustard on practically everything I can dip in it! We went out to lunch one day since the slopes were pretty icy. I enjoyed my chicken nuggets...with mustard.

Grandma & Grandpa got me this cool sled...sort of like a Princess Chariot, don't you think? I loved being pulled all over the base area in it.

I love when Uncle Jeff would play with me....especially when I got free rides!

I've got this "present-opening" down to an art! Rip & Tear = Results!

JACK POT!!! Check out all these presents.....apparently they weren't all for me, but I sure did help open most of them.

Grandma brought my Disney Princess Car from her house. Daddy says he's really glad that the car stays at Grandma's house because of all the songs it constantly plays. I love my car.

Everyone pitched in and helped with chores. Even me! I helped unload the dishwasher many times; whether it needed it or not!

Uncle Jeff's dog, Harrison came to Steamboat, too. He and I became very good friends. Harrison is thee nicest dog in the world!

Here we are...The Skiing Reznicek's. We enjoyed quite a bit of time at the Slopeside Grill after skiing. There were skiers, little kids, dogs, and of course, cold Bud Light for Daddy, Uncle Jeff Grandpa, Grandma and Mommy, too! I just had water.

Me and Mommy right after she came down the slopes. I was so glad to see her.

Someday....sooner than you can believe...I'm gonna have a pair of these skis!

Almost every afternoon, I bundled up and went over to the ski base with either Grandma or Mommy....depending on who stayed home with me. We either walked or waited for the fancy bus they call a "shuttle." I'm just scoping out what's inside the check-in lobby.

This was the suit that I wore pretty much everywhere I went. Someone called me a "little pink marshmellow" Oh well...I've heard worse!

We spent my second Christmas in Steamboat...just like my first. Here I am with Uncle Jeff. We had a good time together.

Thanksgiving Fun!

Being a princess, provides me with a great ride in the snow!

There's always more fun when Daddy pulls me on the sled!

It's fun to play tug-of-war with Mommy with the ribbon to go on the new tree!

Once the tree was home, we all helped decorate! Here's my brothers Moose and Rocky checking out the evergreens that are now inside the house!

After finding the tree in an exhausted search, we've cut it down and are ready to take it home!

Daddy brought the saw, and we're ready to cut it down.

I think we found the perfect tree to cut down.

Here we are heading out to find a good tree on the morning of Thanksgiving. It's fun to ride in my sled when Daddy pulls me along.

Here's Olivia's daddy, Mariuszh with both of us on his lap. Olivia's parents are from Poland....that's a LONG ways from Montana. But it doesn't matter...we're really good friends!
It was fun to share our Thanksgiving feast with new friends.

Here's Mommy with a couple of pies that she and I made for our guests at Thanksgiving dinner.

This is my friend Olivia at our Thanksgiving dinner. We're sitting in my chair together. We met the "Mommy and Me" sessions at the gym and we're good buddies.

Winter in Montana....already!

Play time is over. There's too much snow and these big flakes keep getting in my eyes. I'm going inside where it's warm!

Check out my new sled! It's so much fun to be pulled around in the snow....until I get cold.

Here I am helping Daddy build a new cabinet in the front hall. My daddy is a very good carpenter and I like to help him. The cabinet turned out very beautiful.

Here I am watching the cookies bake. I have already learned the word "hot"---and know not to touch when the door is opened. I love cookies.

Here's Daddy and I after we picked up all the elk meat. Daddy shot a BIG elk and now we get to eat the meat. I love elk sausage in the morning....with mustard, of course.

Trick or Treat!

Meow! Meow! Here I am Lil' Miss Kitty!

Family Photo. Three cats and two people; errrr....I guess I'm really a "people" not a cat. But my kitties, Moose and Rocky are real big kitties!

Here's Mommy and Me at Uncle Taylor and Aunt Steph's door. Notice all the snow that we still have this time of year. It's been snowing a lot where I live.

Here's Daddy and I doing a test run on my kitty costume to make sure I can walk in it. All systems are GO!

It's Halloween evening and I'm just checking my messages to see if there are any important phone calls to return before I go out for the night.

Pumpkin Carving

Do you see the similarity in me & my hat and my pumpkin?

Halloween is such much fun!

Here we with our finished pumpkins. Mine little; like me. Daddy designed a POWERCAT on his pumpkins. Powercats are the symbol for Kansas State University where mommy met daddy. Go Cats! Oh, and that's Moose and Rocky watching.

Just checkin' to see if we got all the seeds and slime out.

Here I am helping Daddy pull the "stuff" out of the pumpkin. Sort of slimmy!

A Big Day at the Pumpkin Patch

It was a big day at the Pumpkin Patch....I'm simply exhausted!!!

Here I am showing Moose and Rocky my BIG pumpkin that I got at the Pumpkin Patch!

So many pretty pumpkins to choose from.....I sort of like this one.

Oh Mommy puhleeeeezzze! Can I take this big one home?

This week Mommy and I went to a Pumpkin Patch! We got to ride on a wagon out to see the pumpkins. It was so fun!

Believe it or not!.....I'm getting hair.

Check out MY new chair! It's just my size. Santa must have sent it early from the North Pole to avoid the hassles in December. I can't wait to show my stuffed guys my new chair.

Look what the nice UPS man brought me today! I don't know if the box or the chair is more fun to play with!

Here I am checking out the trail map. Don't know whether I'm going hiking or skiing? Or maybe I'm looking at how we're going to get to the pumpkin patch!
