Happy New Year

Dear Baby Bird,

Today our vacation ended, and so did 2014.

Daddy took this photo of us before everyone left to go back home.

We had a party at home with dancing to celebrate the start of 2015.

 

Love,
Mom

Grandma's Birthday

Dear Baby Bird,
Today we spent a lot of time at the water park, visited the arcade, celebrated Grandma's birthday, and had fun in the hotel room.

When it was time for bed, you had your choice of who would read to you. You chose Justin, and read all the books you had brought along.

 

All that reading of the same books helped you really learn the stories! I took this video of you reading "The Napping House" by Audrey Wood.

Love,

Mom

 

Gingerbread House

Dear Baby Bird,

Part of the reason we are all on vacation together is to celebrate Grandma's 65th birthday.
Today she took us for a treat in a real gingerbread house. The whole thing is made from crackers and candy and frosting and pretzels and.... it's really cool!

I tried to order chocolate milk for you, but you looked right at the waitress and requested a strawberry milkshake, how could I refuse?

Love,
Mom

Great Wolf Getaway

Dear Baby Bird,

We are on a family getaway to Great Wolf Lodge with Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Karina and Uncle Jake, and mom's cousins, Trevor and Annie (and Justin).

So far we've enjoyed looking around the hotel at all the fun things we're going to in the next few days!

 You have your own section of the hotel room, and you love bringing someone there to read books, play games, or watch Daniel Tiger.

Love,
Mom
