Santa 2009

oh yea!! Myan saw Santa on TV yesterday and we'd seen him at the mall last weekend. So..all day she kept saying that she wanted to go see Santa -- and 'Yes' she wanted to sit on Santa's lap. So we drove to Silverdale (Dad, Myan and me) and here is Myan's 2009 Christmas with Santa pic. Enjoy!

Thansgiving 2009

Thanksgiving Day - 2009. What a relaxing & fun day. We let Costco do the: turkey, dessert & rolls -- we warmed appetizers and other fun foods - we made stuffing and mashed potatoes -- so it was truly a holiday for relaxing. We spent minimal time in the kitchen -- and spent most of our day lounging around the holiday table talking. What splendor! We'll have to try that again for another holiday -- it was fantastic!

Our Holiday Table

Dad and Myan getting in some relaxing time before dinner.

Lee and Myan -- cooking!

Everyone is enjoying the sit down meal. I do love a meal where everything is on the table and passed. No buffets!!!

The Gang

Cheers!

Lan and Me

Puma was delegated as 'balloon player'

Lee had surgery the day before -- way to get out of work!

Couldn't resist!

It's cleaning time -- and where did I find Juj and Dad? Chattin . . .

Myan and the car set she got for Thanksgiving.

Myan Left Town!!

Myan spent the night with Auntie Lee on Friday! Lee comes up twice a week and spends evenings with Myan and . . I must say that when Lee is over - Myan has nothing to do with me -- if I try to get her to do anything she says, "Auntie Lee here' -- obviously telling me that Lee's in charge, so don't even bother. So, I don't!

Myan spent her first night away from north end of the peninsula -- she went all the way to E. Bremerton for the evening. As much as I wondered and worried (a little) I only called twice and I really wasn't panicked or worried -- just normal stuff I suppose.

Oh, and the times that I did call -- that night and the next morning....Myan wouldn't talk to me....'put me down' was all she would say to Lee when Lee would try to get her to talk to me.
whatever.

Of course, Lee let's her color, play with play dough, paint -- messy stuff that I ... uh .. well, you all know me. That's what aunts are for!

Here are some pics that Lee took during the outing . . .

Playing with her newest cousins -- Eric's brother's kids....

ah...

Halloween!

Halloween 09. What fun! We practiced with her in the living room for at least an hour throughout the day -- saying 'trick or treat' and getting candy from Lanny and me. She knocked it out of the park. She was rrready to go! She got all dressed up, we drove to Winslow -- and -- uh -- well, she never once said 'trick or treat.' I guess I'm not surprised.....and, no one else is either. She did have a great time tho, talking about it on the ride home -- telling Papa and Lanny over the phone how much fun she had ....

Oh, she loves that punkin. . .

Getting out of the car -- ready to roll

Larnie and Myan getting the first taste of candy
