A Happy Birthday to MOI!

Yes everyone, today is my date of birth!

I am ONE!!
I got very spoiled, lots of food and presents!

Thanks everyone!

Whatcha looking at, Angry Bird?

I could NOT wait to eat my Angry Bird cupcake!



I had to share some of my cupcake with my Big Sis' Fran!

MMMMMM...This frosting stuff ROCKS!

Mom & Dad decorated the house! I LOVED the balloons the best

How did Mom expect me to unwrap ALLL these presents before daycare?

I took it one at a time....so stressful!

Ohhh...this is the toy I picked out at Toys R' Us! I wondered where mom put it!

Oh and a present from Oma! Mom said she had it hidden since September!

Oma, it tastes good!

We went to Pizza Ranch for my birthday supper...mmmmm PIZZA!

Dad and Uncle Adam made me laugh a lot!

What? I can't hear you!!

Grandpa and Grandma got me my first Deere!

I have started drooling up a storm these days! But I'm happy...

Me and my mommy :)

Family picture time!

Do I have to wait 365 more sleeps to do this again? BUMMER!

An afternoon with my girl Gia!

Mom showed up at daycare earlier than usual today and told me that we were going to go visit the Plathes!  I was especially psyched to hang out with Gia again....it's been to long!

Parker, Gia's big brother, came down to our level to show us all of his AWESOME trains!

Gia got bored of all the man-talk

Gia & I waved "Bye" to her big sisters! She's lucky, her door window is much lower than mine at home!

We casued a little trouble with the halloween decor...mommy wasn't too impressed.

I wasn't being a very good friend at this point....I wasn't sharing with Gia....but it is a boy toy.
I'll do better next time! Hopefully she'll still want me to come over to play!

Thanks for letting me hang out Gia!

My first Canuck Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving in the great white north!

This is the first Thanksgiving I'll remember...I was too little last year to even remember American Thanksgiving!

Here is a documentary of my first Thanksgiving Meal:

FINALLY!!!  Mom broke out my Jip & Janeke utensil set! Super exciting!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadians!!

My meal:  Squash, stuffing, homemade bread (not pictured)

Mom felt the need to document every moment...it was kind of annoying.

The stuffing was successfully on the fork....

....the stuffing is successfully in my mouth :)

I got a little squash on my face!  I love learning how to use my Jip & Janeke stuff!

Stuffing my face!!

Gobble Gobble!

Multi-cultural Experiences

Since I got some chompers now, the parents are letting me try all sorts of good stuff!

First up was some Chinese Food!

Chinese lady: How old he?

Mom: 11 months.

Chinese lady: Reeeeally? How much he weigh?

Mom: About 30 pounds.

Chinese lady: Oh wow, he big boy, he have cookie, here.

Dessert first? I LOVE Chinese food!

Is this my sign to run for president? Any supporters? Will they let a dual citizen run...it's not worth it, they'll definitely want to see my birth certificate!

Anyway, I got to eat rice and sweet and sour chicken....yummmmm

Next Up:

ITALY!

Mom made me some spaghetti tonight!  Another yummmmm!

I got pretty good at chasing those noodles around my tray!

And finally, I got to connect with some of my dutch heritage:

Like my klompen slippers????

Happy Birthday Great Grandpa!

We stopped by Great Grandpa & Grandma's house on Saturday to say

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 

It was fun stopping by! Even Uncle Randy was there to say hi!

Wishing you a great birthday and many more healthy years to come!

Love you Great Grandpa!
