What a Year!
We went to Grandma and Papa Hauser's to snap some pictures before they took their tree down. Last year we had cute shots of Sidney Kate in the rocker next to the tree and Grandma wanted one for this year too.)
Before we got to the business of taking pictures we ate a little dinner and Sidney Kate ransacked the place. Beginning with the crayons.
She looks innocent enough doesn't she?!
And here it begins. She has her arms open as if to say, "Here I am world!" (Oh mercy)
Here is last year's rocking chair picture. As I searched back through the old ones to find it I was so shocked to see how much she has changed. I can look at the old pictures now and see her little personality coming through, even though it's so much bigger today!
Then the clothes came off, a new favorite game of hers.

Mommy's ASU Buddies
Tuesday night (12-29-09) we met some of my college friends for dinner. We went to the new Goobers and surprisingly there were few people there. This was to our advantage. After eating and sitting for awhile someone needed to exercise those legs and boy did she. The other patrons didn't seem to mind. I think they enjoyed her energy. Some even got high fives!
I didn't get a picture of SKV with the boys, but here she is taking Alan's hat off. Apparently she's been raised to dislike WF, because she didn't want it on. haha
Here she is having her way. She has learned to grab some one's hand and take them to here desired location. This tactic is used to get 'my-nanas', raisins, bed (bread), juice and more. In this case she wanted to sit in a booth. Poor Jennifer didn't have a change after she took her hand.
We would also like to take this opportunity to say, "CONGRATULATIONS!!" to Jennifer and Marcus! They got engaged the night after we ate!! We are so excited and happy for you guys!!

Riley and Sidney Kate
Josh and Riley came to pick up Ansley's birthday cakes and these two went to playing pretty quickly.
After hanging in the living room for a bit they migrated to her room.
Here they are pretending to sleep.
They played with puzzles and the kitchen set. I'm pretty sure it was the cutest thing ever.
Here is Riley giving Sidney Kate the meal he made her. He cooked her a burger on the grill, put it on a plate, added silverware and called her to the table. Adorable! Then he wanted to read her a bedtime story. I could just squeeze the cuteness out of him!!

Happy Birthday Ansley!!
This isn't Ansley, just another picture of Sidney Kate. Seriously, I take too many.
But this is Ansley's first birthday cake that we made! I can't believe that this little angel is turning one, she was just born! However, we are all very excited that Sidney Kate has a little girlfriend to play with! Ansley is up walking about and they are sure to have mega fun together!
Here is her baby cake. Not a great picture and no our walls are not that shade of green. I need a good camera. Sigh.

Oh the Outfits
A girl can never have too many outfits right?
Some stylish new PJs...and a bag of crayons.
There's that bop-ba again...but I think she's saying, "Chesse" behind it. Check out those cute shoes from Grandma Hauser! They totally match that outfit!
Just cute...that hair is crazy long. However, we're learning new ways to handle it. Bigger bows and now headbands!!

Laughing at Herself
In the below post, Sleeping Fun, you watched a video of Sidney Kate trying to "wake up!" Momma time and time again. Well, we've learned that she loves watching that video and laughing at herself. Soooo...I had to record a video of that too.

Sleeping Fun
Sidney Kate has learned the art of fake sleeping and boy does she have fun with it.
If she wakes before we do she is the one that starts the hitting and yells, "Wake up, Wake up!" So with that, we've started acting like we're asleep and when we ask her to give it a try she does a good job.
She has reached the point now that she'll stop what she's doing, mumble off some words and the only ones I understand are "seeping" (sleeping) and then she's out-fake like.
When we'd yell "Wake up!" this was her reaction.
So funny!

This was at home, she randomly hit the floor, covered up with the rug and told me she was sleeping. She also doesn't the fake heavy breathing-hahaha!
New Year's Eve Part I
So funniest thing ever...the Freeman boys are afraid of our dogs (that's not the funny part). Poor Carter (Carters, as Sidney Kate calls him) turned around and either indy or buster was right in his face. Kinda scary for a child that's smaller than the dog in question. So he screams and Sharon sweeps him up to comfort him. Next thing we know Sidney Kate is crying too like she's scared (she lives with these beasts!) and this is the shot I got of her pouting too. Sharon and I were trying not to laugh too hard but it was so funny.
That was the first sign that Sidney Kate was going to copy Carter all night long.
Here are the boys and Sidney Kate playing; well, Derek probably isn't playing but preparing to be a doctor. He's just that smart!
The three really play well together though.
Carter (Carters) and Sidney Kate stayed close for the evening.
How cute is that?!

New Year's Eve Part II
I was serious, she was his mirror, alllll night!
The little kids were playing so great together and away from us until we started playing cards. It was then that they became glue to us. She could throw them out and they'd magically attract back to us in minutes.
Here is Sidney Kate giving out New Year's sugar. Not so sure where the tongue action is coming from all of the sudden but that is what she did to Aunt Sharon and Uncle Chad.
Smooches!
Sorry Uncle Chad...but you should know by now if I have a camera and you do something funny, you're going on the blog! hahaha...

Sunday Night with GG
Sunday, December 27 was the date. It was a cold, sad day in the Venable household...not really-just trying to set the scene. :)
We started the day with church and Daddy dressed Sidney Kate in her new, adorable outfit from Grandma Mary and Papa. I asked him to get a good picture of her in it...this is what I got. Not sure what face that is, but we'll take it. :)
Later that day, around 4:13:08 PM, GG arrived to take my precious child to her house. After SKV and I awoke from our nap we decided that she didn't need/want to go, but they (being GG and Daddy) made her go anyway.
Isn't this just a pitiful picture, she looks all lonely and lost, about to leave Momma-oh! (I wonder where she gets her drama from?)
Looks real painful doesn't it. She had her Abbey movie going in GG's car and GG said she didn't make one bit of conversation all the way there. Those crazy DVDs suck kids in!

This was her second night away from us, her first was with Papa and Grandma Mary (not sure if I posted pictures from that-I will go back and see.)
Turns out that SKV had a blast because Kaylee was there when she arrived. The girls played till 8:00 or so then she continued to play with GG and Papa Bill until after 11:00 (yeah, kinda late huh?!) Anyway, she slept well and had a big time. The next day we ran some errands around town and went to pick her up. It wasn't completely horrible but I really like having her with us. :)
Here is what the other children did. Rejoice in their attention...poor guys!

Christmas at the Hausers
We missed going to Christmas at the Hauser's this year but here are some of the fun things that SKV got.
A mega cute towel with her initials on it-wish I could sew!
An Abbey movie!! Oh my how she is loving her Sesame Street characters. I love to hear her call them by name and then when she sees Cookie Monster it comes out raspy and sounds like "Sookie Monstah" then she fake grabs the cookies in the book and pretends to eat them. (She does that little trick with most pictures of food-we must starve her...)
She also got a set of pjs that had this shirt with it-we put the skirt over these pjs to try it out. So cute and funny!
I was super bummed that we didn't get to see everyone and that she didn't get to play with Kambreya and Grace, but hopefully we'll see everyone soon!
