Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day: 

• I woke up before 8:00 this morning and cuddled in bed with Mommy until Daddy got back from walking the dogs.  
• I ate Lucky Charms cereal this morning... it is my favorite!
• Daddy and I played with the Wii.  We played several of the fitness games and we had lots of fun.  
• I had a bath and felt so much better even though I was chilly with my hair wet.  Luckily the heater in my room warmed me up.  I even tried to hug the heater until Daddy told me it wasn't safe to do that.  
• I danced with my rock-n-roll Mickey Mouse, rode my plane and bus, and played with my baby dolls.  I squeezed into the clothes hamper with my babies then closed the top.  Mommy says I'm silly!
• After lunch, it was nap time, but I fought and fought taking a nap, even coming downstairs 10 minutes after being in bed telling Mommy, "I'm full of energy."  Mommy wasn't happy.  Daddy put me in bed and made sure I fell asleep.
• After nap, I cuddled on the couch with Mommy for a bit since I was still tired then we got dressed and packed my bag and headed out.
• We stopped at Petsmart so Daddy could get a few things for the cats.  Mommy and I ran around the store looking at all of the animals while he shopped.  I even got to pet a very big puppy.  She was sweet and soft.
• I chose Chick-fil-A as my dinner location when given the option.  I played and ate.  At first I didn't want to play and told Mommy, "I'm scared since I don't have anyone to play with."  After I ate, there ended up being several kids in there to play with and I quickly made friends.  It was fun!
• Mommy and Daddy took me to Ms. Sierra's house to spend the night.  They had told me she was having a party and tried to explain the idea of New Years Eve and New Years, but I'm not sure I understand.  I kept asking Mommy and Daddy if it was Sierra's birthday since she was having a party.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day: 

• I ate a donut for breakfast, well at least the sprinkles off of one.
• I played at Grandma and Grandpa's house while Mommy and Daddy packed and loaded the car to head home.
• We stopped in Fairmont to see my cousins.  When I got out of the car, Daddy was throwing snowballs at their front door, so I decided to start picking up snow and throwing it too.  We exchanged gifts and I got a great Doc McStuffins's doctor bag and supplies and a super cute outfit.  I can't wait to wear it!  I danced and played with Alexis and enjoyed watching Shane fly his new helicopter.  At one point I was dancing and trying to keep my eye on the helicopter and almost fell over.  I couldn't decide what I would rather do, dance or watch.  
• The drive home was long, especially since I didn't nap until we got 20 minutes from home.  I talked the entire way and kept asking Daddy questions every time he turned the radio up at all.  I did play a few games on the iPad to give him a little break, but other than that, I was overly curious about what I was seeing and hearing and what Mommy and Daddy were talking about.  I kept talking about how I was going to play in the snow when I got home since Shane and Alexis had snow at their house.  I was super disappointed to get home and not see snow.  I played with Mommy's phone for a bit of the trip and she was surprised to find a "selfie" on the phone when we got home.
• Once at home, I was so happy to see Gemma and Cameron.  I really missed them.  Gemma acted like she really missed me too since she kept walking around me meowing very loudly.  Cameron didn't act like he cared until I was giving the dogs treats and then he decided he had missed getting treats and needed one from me.
• I got a package in the mail and was super excited to open it and find a Wicked Witch Potato Head.  It is super cool and I am very excited to add it to my "Lizard of Boz" collection.  It is my favorite movie!  
• Mommy and I set up a "campsite" in the living room with a blanket and lantern for a few minutes and turned out the living room lights.  It was fun and I was so excited.  We also built block towers and had a game to see who could build the tallest tower before they fell over.    Daddy and I played our guitars for Mommy (I had to have my own pick just like Daddy). 
• I'm glad to be home, but was a little cautious about going to bed.  I really wanted to sleep with Mommy and Daddy, but they were being mean and wouldn't let me.  Mommy thinks I'm not used to my bed and will be better in a couple of days.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day: 

• I ate two breakfasts this morning...  Waffles early, then a Tudor's apple biscuit.  Yum!  
• Littles was very playful and so was I.  We played with her toys and mine too.  
• I gave Mommy and Daddy a ride on my big duckie toy down the hallway.  
• Mommy and Daddy left close to lunch time, so Grandma fixed me mac-n-cheese for lunch.  
• I took a nap then spent some time playing with Grandma and Grandpa.  I had Grandma take my picture a few times with her phone.   
• I helped Mommy and Daddy pack up my toys to get ready to go home.  
• We also played Candy Land and I was upset that Daddy landed on a shortcut and I didn't. 
• I had Mommy and Daddy dance with me. We were being so silly and we had lots of fun until they stopped dancing.  I was sad and started crying because I wanted them to keep dancing.  
• At bedtime, I was so tired and whiny but I am happy to know I am going home to see my cats.  I miss them so much.  I will miss Grandma and Grandpa though.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• I woke up after 8:00 and ate breakfast and hung out with Daddy until others woke up.  
• I played with a few toys and with Littles, though I couldn't play with squeaky toys while people were sleeping.  I had bed head, even a few hours after waking up this morning.
• Grandma made me a grilled cheese and chips for lunch and it was yummy.
• After my nap, Grandma, Mommy, and I went shopping at Kohl's. I found some great shirts and a jacket...  One was an owl and another was a monster.  They had hoods with ears on them. I love them!
• We stopped at a playground to play before it got dark.  It had two slides and was fun.
• Back at grandma's I played and ate dinner.  Grandpa and I kept "squirting" each other with water with my toy squirt bottle.  We were being so silly.  I kept giggling over and over again.
• At bedtime, I was a mess since I was so tired.  I cried for Mommy and argued with her that I should sleep in her bed.  She didn't give in so I was still upset and grandma came in to calm me down. I told her that "Mommy's my best friend and you are not my friend" when I wanted Mommy to put me to bed.  I finally gave up and fell asleep since I was too tired.

Alyson's Exciting Events of the Day:

• I woke up early this morning but wasn't quite ready to get up. Instead, I got into bed with Mommy and Daddy. I slept with them until about 8:15 when mommy got up with me. We ate cereal and watched cartoons. Daddy got up about 9:30 and mommy went back to bed. Daddy and I watched Umizoomi. 
• We went to the mall and Grandma's work this afternoon.  I had fun saying hello to everyone at her office and even got lots of treats walking around with her.  I got a Hershey Kiss, 2 Dum-Dum suckers, a ring pop, and a dancing solar flower.  It was like trick-or-treat!  It's a good thing I'm so cute!  
• Once back at the mall, Mommy and Daddy took me to Build a Bear where I built a kitty cat.  I decided to name her "Twinkle Toes."  It took me about 30 minutes to pick out the perfect outfit for her after many possibilities that I had chosen.  I finally decided on a WVU shirt with a pink skirt, pink headband, magic wand, and white sneakers.  I was a big helper and helped type her information into the computer with Daddy.  I got to pay for the bear with my own Christmas money from Uncle Bill.  I love my new friend!
• I fell asleep in the car on the way back to Grandma and Grandpa's.
• After a little relaxing time at their house, and time to play with a few of my toys, Mommy and Daddy surprised me by taking me to Chuck-E-Cheese.  I loved it there!  We ate pizza and played games and rode rides.  My favorite parts were meeting Chuck-E-Cheese (he threw tickets in the air and I grabbed a few), playing on the slides, and winning a big lollipop with my tickets.
• Back at Grandma and Grandpa's, I told them all about what I did at Chuck-E-Cheese and then we had visitors, Tommy and Samantha.  It was nice to have Samantha play with me and my toys.
• I went to bed with my new friend, "Twinkle Toes."
• It was such a fun day!
