Ryan, Erin and I went over to Grammy's house to put up the Christmas tree. What fun Erin had singing Christmas carols and looking at all the pretty ornaments and lights! She also enjoyed playing with Jasper the cat, who actually let Erin within inches of him!! That is the closest she has ever come to a cat!
Singing Jingle Bells!

We had our families over to celebrate Thanksgiving. We all gathered at our house for dinner and football. It was really nice not to have to go anywhere and have everyone bring food! All I had to do was do the appetizers and a pumpkin pie. That is my kind of Thanksgiving! :)
Erin tried almost everything and enjoyed all of it. She especially liked turkey and sweet potatoes! (And cool whip!)
When Daddy goes outside, Erin follows him to the door to await his return. Sounds like someone else we know!
Erin has become quite proficient in stair-climbing. Mom and Dad better watch out!
Last home game of the season! :( We headed over to Mom's to help her out on Friday night. The ladies went to the grocery store and didn't Erin get tons of smiles and attention! (No surprise of course!) She looked so stinkin' adorable the strangers couldn't help but be drawn to her! And as is the tradition everytime Erin goes to Grandma's, she gets a bath in the kitchen sink!
Erin is becoming quite the monkey. Climbing on everything, toys, stairs, chairs. What's next?!? She has also started putting her hands up when you ask "How Big is Erin?" and you say "SOOOOO BIG!" SOOOO cute!
There were a number of kids at the game on Saturday. Riley (Ashley & Greg's son), Lily (Ben and Kim's daughter), Layla (PJ and Amy's newborn daughter) and of course Erin. Erin and Riley played so well together! She is chasing after boys already!
We got about a foot of snow last night. I can't believe we've gotten this much snow before Thanksgiving! I gave Erin a bowl of snow (clean, WHITE snow) to play with and explore. She was facsinated!
Erin and I went to a jewelry party at Melissa's house. Everyone really just invited me so I'd bring Erin along. :) We had a very good time and it was nice to hang out with just the ladies for a change!
We finally got a picture of "the teeth!" They were quite illusive for a while but now we can see them more often and capture a picure of their cuteness! (You have to look VERY closely!)
Erin also got her first Christmas present (shown here) from her Grandpa Riesenberg. It is a walk-behind lion type toy. She absolutley loves it!! And she can make it go! There are no boundrys anymore!
It also has a "ride" on feature that her Daddy drives her around on. She giggles with delight! It is so adorable! :)
