Christmas

So for Christmas this year we were all sick. It started with me being sick the Saturday before Christmas, then Sienna got sick and then Garrett. The Monday before Christmas I was feeling a little better so we got to go to Mesa and do some last minute shopping and we went to the Suns game. On the way home at about 12:30 am is when Sienna started throwing up. We didn't go anywhere for Christmas Eve because we all 3 weren't feeling good. We did go drive around and look at lights late that night. Then Christmas we went to my grandma's in Pima for lunch and then to the Sparks' for dinner. It was a good day even though we didn't feel too good. Sienna got a lot of stuff including a cozy coupe car, an elmo doll, dora doll, dora guitar, clothes, shoes, my little ponies, and some other stuff. She loves playing in her car and she gets some of her toys and puts them in her car with her. She liked all the Christmas stuff this year so it was fun. She sat on Santa's lap at the Sparks Christmas party and she liked him. She loved the lights, trees, snowmen and Santa. When she would see Santa on tv she would say ho ho.

After a long Christmas day she was able to play with her car.

Things about Sienna

I just wanted to write down some things that I want to remember about Sienna. She is talking pretty well for her age and will try to say pretty much anything you tell her to. She is really sweet most of the time and when I give her something she always says, "Thank you, mama". And she nods her head when she does it. She also throws some pretty good fits though. She wants to be really independent right now and do everything herself and just run everywhere she wants to. She tells me no, mama. She's starting to say no more now instead of mo. When she's saying no to something or someone she shakes her shoulders and upper body when she says it. I guess that's all for now. I just don't want my little baby to grow up!

Light Parade

Last night we went to the light parade in Safford. We had never been before and we thought Sienna would like it so we decided to go. Me and my parents went early to get a spot. We got all bundled up and took blankets. Garrett and Sienna got there shortly before the parade started. Before it started all Sienna wanted to do is run. My dad was following her around. She did sit down and watch when the parade started. I think she liked it. She was tired so towards the end of the parade she fell asleep on my mom's lap. Afterwards we went and ate at Denny's. Sienna got to have hot chocolate for the first time.

Thanksgiving

This year we spent Thanksgiving with Garrett's family. All of his brothers and their family's were here so we got to spend a lot of time with everyone. Marlene had a lot of fun things planned for us to do. I didn't get a lot of pictures. There is a new toy at the Sparks' house that all the little kids loved. It's a battery powered ATV. Sienna would've rode it the whole time we were over there if she could've. She can't steer by herself so some has to help her the whole time. She loved it. I couldn't get a picture of her face while she was riding it. This one is on Thanksgiving.

On Saturday after Thanksgiving we went to Pima and the kids got to ride horses. Marlene had it set up so this lady and her husband would help the kids and teach them how to ride and everything. It was really fun for the kids. Sienna loves horses. This picture was of her before we left to go eat with everyone at R&R. After R&R we went to ride horses. She wouldn't smile for me.

Sienna and Boe. It was Boe's 3rd birthday.

Amanda rode with Sienna since she was too little to go by herself. I didn't want to ride. Sienna loved it of course. Amanda said that she kept trying to grab the reigns.

They also had chickens and dogs. Sienna loves animals. Sometimes she gets scared of little dogs that jump on her but if she gets used to them she likes them. I've never seen her scared of a big dog though. Maybe it's because she's used to our dog Maggie.
