Proud to be Canadian!

Way to go Team Canada, 14 gold medals, the most ever won by a country at the winter olympics!!! We had a party at our house tonight for the USA vs. Canada hockey game, their was a mix of Canadian & American friends. It was an exciting game but thankfully the right team won! It got really loud in our house, kind of suprised me...


Daddy managed to convert Payton to a Canadian fan and Payton's daddy Jason wasn't too impressed with that!

This was the first entire game of hockey that both Jamie and Jason have ever watched, they had lots of questions for daddy about the game!!!

We got dressed in our Team Canada gear for all of the hockey games, it has been 17 days of "Go Canada Go"!!!

I told Mommy and Daddy tonight that I want to win a megal, a hockey green megal!!!

My school was cancelled for quite a few days due to winter weather, well at least what they call "winter storms", not quite comparable to what we see in Canada. This meant our Valentine's day party kept getting postponed but finally we had it!

On Granny Hollinger's last day here, Mommy brought us to the Hands on Museum, which is a really fun kids museum. Check out some of the pics she took while we were there!

Here I am riding a rocket ship!

Isn't this a really neat fish tank, Granny and I were able to get up inside and watch the fishies!

I did some grocery shopping while I was there!

Uncle Ryan bought me this really pretty princess Cinderella dress at christmas, don't I look beautiful!!!

I have been learning how to bake recently, I helped mommy make rice krispie squares for my Valentine's day party at school and I helped Granny make cookies!

Well that is all for now, the closing ceremonies is about to begin and it is sure to be a blast. Once again I am very proud to be a canadian!!!

Good night and love y'all,

Emmie

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! We had a wonderful day, mommy started off the day with a nice big breakfast, it was yummy. Mommy and Daddy got to go out for the afternoon and see a movie, while Granny Hollinger stayed at home to babysit me, thanks Granny, sounds like Mommy and Daddy had a nice time. I tried to pull out all the tricks on Granny when it came to nap time but eventually I did take my nap...lol! Check out my cute outfit that Gigi bought me for Valentine's day, isn't it cute.




Mommy, Daddy and I have been going to Family swim at their gym for the past couple of weeks and I love it. Since Granny is here visiting, she was able to come with us this weekend and she even took some pictures of us in the water. I like to swim like a fish, it is so much fun!


Here we are playing ring around the rosy, one of my favorite songs!

In the change room, I like to hide in the lockers...silly me!


Mommy let me paint in the basement again since they haven't torn out the carpet yet but it will be happening very soon. I remembered that Gigi and Papa bought me a Princess paint smock for Christmas, so I put it on to protect my clothes and it worked perfectly!



Granny arrived by plane on Wednesday night and suprised me first thing in the morning on Thursday! She brought me a birthday gift from her and Pop-pop, I love the toys and tossed away the clothes, but Mommy loved all my new clothes, thanks Granny and Pop-pop!



The day that Gigi left to go back home to Canada was my very first day at school, that's right, I am now in school. I go every tuesday and thursday from 9 am to 1:30 pm and I love it! My best friend Fisher is in my class and I have a really nice teacher, her name is Mrs. Patti. Here are some pics from my first day!





One night a few weeks ago mommy and I decided to play with my hair and put these really neat hair wraps in. They help to make big curls in my hair, I sat really nice for mommy while she put them in, check out how silly I look! The sunglasses were my idea, don't they add the perfect touch....



Well that is all for now. I am busy playing with Granny and watching the Olympics at the same time. Go Canada Go!!! Even though we are here in the US, I am cheering for Canada all the way!

Love y'all,

Emmie
