Wow, what a great Holiday season!! We could not be more lucky to have such great family and friends to share it with. Auntie Em was here for 3 weeks, she left last Friday and we're still missing her terribly. Auntie Em and Rubes became best buddies. I don't think Em got to eat a full meal the whole time she was here because wherever there's food, a lurking Rubes is not far behind! Ruby doesn't like to eat food in her high chair that much anymore, she prefers to mooch off other people's plates. Gamma got here on the 23rd and is here until Saturday. Ruby loves waking Gamma up in the morning. She says "knock, knock" to Gamma's bedroom door and then likes to climb up on Gamma's bed and hang out for a while. Ruby is really good at imitating sleeping noises now and likes to tease us sometimes by pretending to be asleep when we need her to do something (i.e. brush her teeth, get out of her car seat). This morning when Daddy went to get her out of her crib, she layed back down and pretended to snore with he eyes squinted almost shut. She's turning into quite the little trickster! Uncle Stephen was here for a few days over Christmas and Ruby loved dancing to his music. She would order him to play and then order the rest of us to dance with her. Whenever Stephen would stop she'd shout for more ("bore"). One of the things Uncle Stephen gave Ruby for Christmas was a kazoo and she's now mastered it. It's so cute to see her skip around the house playing the kazoo! Auntie El and Uncle B came to celebrate New Years with us but were only here for one night because Untie El was pretty sick. They brought Ruby a HUGE stuffed puppy dog and Ruby loves it! We're excited for 2009 and feel it's going to be a great year. Love to you all!
Ruby liked to tease Uncle Stephen and play shy.
Big enough for a pony tail!!
Ruby have you seen your little bouncy ball?
Giving Daddy Christmas kisses.
Giving Gamma kisses!
Ruby wanted to hold her doggy while she painted because the little girl in the picture was holding her doggy. I thought that was pretty cute.
Stephen's littlest fan.
Gamma giving Ruby her first beater to lick (she had to fight me for it!)
Beater AND spatula! She kept saying "mmmmmmm" while she was eating the batter.
Ruby's beautiful stocking that Gamma made.
"Ho, Ho, Ho!"
Wiped out after the Christmas festivities. Opening presents is hard work!
Sleeping Beauty
One of Ruby's favorite pastimes is going shopping in our pantry. She got a shopping cart for Christmas and she loves loading and unloading it with REAL food.
This is one of my favorite pictures! Ruby's trying out her new Zebra toy, check out her cool slippers from Auntie Em!
Thoroughly enjoying her new loot. Talking on her Elmo cell phone, wearing her slippers, in her wagon, holding her Wiggles DVD. Now that's the life!
Awesome rain jacket and boots from Grandpa!
