Uncle Ryan's visit - Happy New Year to everyone

Happy New Year to all of you! I not too sure what all the fuss is about with New Year's Eve, I was in bed by 7:45pm, same old, same old. Although, I was put down at Fisher and Ella's house and I do recall being woken up at 1:00am to the cold air outside as Daddy carried me back home, huh! Anyways, we had a wonderful New Year's celebrating with my Uncle Ryan and our good friends the Battel Family. We forgot to take pics, well actually Uncle Ryan did, but he keeps forgeting to send them to us!

It was so nice to have Uncle Ryan here for a visit, he is so much fun. We played everyday, all day! He would sit at the fridge and play with my magnets, oh and one of my favorite things was being pushed in the laundry basket. It was so much fun, I couldn't stop laughing. Uncle Ryan even learnt how to feed me when he was here, Mommy had him share his blueberry waffles with me one morning, they were yummy. Check out the bib I am wearing in the pic below, it was made by my Great Grandma Hollinger, isn't it pretty!

One day we went up to Bays Mountain park and showed Uncle Ryan all these neat animals. It was a really nice day, a little nippy but nothing like it was when we were back in Canada. Uncle Ryan pushed me in my stroller all around the park, up and down hills, sometimes he would go really fast, it was great! I think my favorite animal was the fish, they were really cool. You will see below I have included a picture of a sign that says "Portugese Prayer of the Woods", I took this for my Uncle Cousin Jay, not too sure why that sign was in the park, who would have thought we would see a sign like that in East Tennessee!

As I am sure many of you know my Daddy loves hockey, so for Christmas I got my very own hockey stick. Daddy and I sat together and watched the Team Canada games over the holidays, we were so excited when Team Canada won, congratulations!

I have uploaded a video of Dexter and I playing together. I have taken a keen interest in my dogs recently and one of my favorite things to do is play tug of war with Dexter. Sometimes we use one of his toys but other times we use my socks!!!

Well hope everyone has a great weekend and we'll chat again soon!

Love,

Emmie
