Christmas...

Rylee got a special letter from Santa. He knew her age, name, and what she wanted for Christmas. Santa told her that she of course needed to be a good girl etc., and she even talked right back to him when he asked her questions. SOOO cute and she loved it!!!

Rylee was such a good girl ALL YEAR ROUND that Santa and her Auntie Ray Ray and her grandparents too, treated her for her year long good behavior. She stricted it rich and will enjoy her new toys, etc. all year round!!!

I will have to treat my up coming neices & nephews to this much too in the future...HEHE!!!

Rylee gave us her first puppet show with the puppets and tent I got her.

She did good with it and had fun.
We just have to wait for the snow so Rylee can go on a super fun ride with her
snowmobile sled her Auntie Ray Ray got her.

GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Rylee had a good Thanksgiving this year. Her cousins are usually with us for Thanksgiving but not this year, she was the only kid around and she still had a good time.

During the weeks before Thanksgiving, me and Rylee made some fun Thanksgiving crafts together.

EEEK...HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Rylee's costume was a cute little bumble bee. She painted pumpkins this year and designed them any way she wanted. Rylee's school had a costume parade so everyone could see all the costumes in the class. She had fun with that. My neighborhood had a Halloween themed party that was the "HAUNTED DEPOT". It's the building where the parties are held, by the pool. I decided to bring her since it was for all the kids in my neighborhood. She played some games, painted a pumpkin, and colored a picture. I think Rylee had some fun there. To top off all the fun, she ended the Halloween celebration with trick-er-treating of course.

All the family pumpkins...

Rylee's costume parade at school, along with her friend Ayla.

Pumpkin painting with whatever design you'd like!!!

Rylee knows you need to wash the paint off the brush.

What a good mannered painter to keep it clean

for the other painters!!!

What are these creepy things...

a whole assortment of creepy feeling & visual objects like

a hand and a bowl full of water with eye balls...

Ring Around the pole game...

Bean Bag game...Rylee's last thing at the Depot: coloring a WITCH'S BREW!!!

Disney girl...

Rylee is quite the character!!! She got a packet of Disney tattoos and of course wanted some on. I decided to take a picture of them and she's the one that came up with the expressions for the photo! This girl cracks me up and gives me quite the laugh all the time!!!

Princess of Fall

Rylee is officially the Fall Princess!!! I went to the craft stores and found some blank hats that you can decorate them any way you want to. They didn't have a white crown so I figured a pink one is just as good. What we did was I would put a dab of glue on the hats and Rylee put her leaves there. She actually had fun and likes her new fall hats.

Anderson Farms Pumpkin Patch

Anderson Farms is the best place to pick your pumpkins in Colorado! It's SO fun for the kids. They have a feeding/petting part where you can give food to the many farm animals, and a children's maze, pony rides, hay bales to follow on top, and other FUN things for the kids. Rylee always has fun there and gets the best pumpkins to take home and carve and/or paint on.

Rylee and her bestest friend Makenzie were having fun walking all around the hay bales & jumping to the next one.Dacia's showing Rylee how to hook the horns...

YEE HAH!!! Rylee's enjoying her pony ride...

Rylee's feeding the goats...

She's having fun running around the maze...

Virgie's the videographer for me since I had to depart the farm.

There's a laugh a good laugh in this one...

CIRCUS...

The Ringling Bros/Barnum & Bailey Circus made it's way to Colorado again and I couldn't resist taking Rylee another time. I figured since she's older than the last time she'll enjoy it more. They have a pre-circus show with juggling, clown tricks, elephants painting and more. It's a way of showing you that you're gonna have fun during the show too! I LOVE THE CIRCUS and hope Rylee starts to like it just as much as I do, as I'm sure she does or will start to.

This was CRAZY...there were like 6 or 7 motorcycles

in there going around in circles together without hitting

eachother. Kinda made my stomach cringe at times.

Rylee's lastest art work

Rylee had fun doing her latest art work, just like she does with all art. She helped me glue together all the wooden pieces to make the picture frame and box.

She chose the colors of circles and letters that she wanted to use. I would put a dab of glue on the wood and Rylee placed the circles on the frame after the picture was put on.
I would tell Rylee where to dab the glue on the sticks to make the box and she would put the glue there for me to attach the sticks together to make it. And after she did her painting on the lid I put a dab of glue in spots and she chose the colored poms and put them on the glue spots to decorate the lid.
