Holidazzle 2013

Unfortunately, this is the last year of the Holidazzle Parade in Downtown Minneapolis due to cost cutting. We went tonight for the opening night. I really enjoyed the floats and wanted more, more, more. We may have to go back before Christmas, so I can get my fill in. 

 We cheated and watched from a skyway, so we didn't have to stand in the cold, but we had a great view!

 Papa bought me a "surprise" for after the parade... a new Dora hat and mittens. I slept with the Dora hat right by my side. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Nana and Papa made the hike to Minneapolis for Thanksgiving this year, since Mommy is only five weeks aways from her due date. I kiss and hug her belly often and tell my Baby Brother than I love him. I love whispering "Felix" in Mommy's ear to tease her about what we should name him. 

Nana painted my little fingers and toes all different colors (per my request.)

Nana is such a good sport. I was determined she could wear my diaper, if I could just get it to fit!

 And, she let me do her hair with clips and bands. 

We made Turkey Cupcakes!

I didn't like his eyes looking at me, and I wasn't about to eat them!

Mmm... Minced Meat Pie! Daddy's favorite. I discovered pie this Thanksgiving Holiday. I am a Wagner for sure!

Papa shared his pumpkin pie with whipped cream with me

Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see? I love to read just like my Daddy!

Tickle Monster... Papa started the Tickle Monster when I was in South Dakota in September. He bought a Tickle Monster book with soft furry hands that we read together now. I like to chase him but don't like it when he is chasing me. 

Young Pre-school

Kate started Young Pre-School two weeks ago. It was a sad day for Mommy. Kate, on the other hand, was more than ready and didn't want to go back to Toddlers. She has continued to correct me on "pre-school" when I say "school." She said to me the other day, "You always say school and I have to tell you pre-school." It is amazing how much she has grown up in just two weeks. Potty training is gearing up, and she loves her new teacher, Miss. Kris.

There is a computer in her new classroom that she is already interacting with. 

 Scissors?!? Mommy, clearly doesn't understand how early this starts. 

 Dot painting... She is so excited to have new activities and go on the "big girl" playground.

Thankfully, Ellie and Kate moved up to Young Pre-school at the same time since their birthdays are only 4 days apart, and they ended up in the same room again. Dancing with their monkeys

Zoom... Zoom

Papa gave me my first car... a Purina BMW... Ha! Beat that later in life, Daddy! 

My steering is a little challenged. I went right for Daddy's grass...

My driving reminded Mommy and Daddy of their first attempts at driving a stick shift.

Look...No Hands!
