Only 364 days 'till my birthday...

This year for my birthday, the theme was Roller Derby!

Kate's sister, Nina, shows off the latest in Roller Derby style, here at the Mt. Scott Community Center skating rink. We had so much fun skating!

Then, we went across the street to our restaurant for food and a big surprise. My cakes were chocolate and raspberry cheesecakes. We also had mini gummy burgers, sparkling apple grape juice, macaroni & cheese, and hot dogs. But I decided I don't like Otto's hot dogs anymore--they're too spicy.

The surprise was Toby Patella, the clown you see here balancing one of our very heavy restaurant chairs on his chin. He also juggled, and made jokes, and blew up balloon animals for us. He was cool and funny.

Even Baby Gage went roller derby with one of the party favors from the fancy gift bags I decorated--his skater wristband! I guess Gage is cool and funny, too.

Happy New Year Everybody!

Christmas Morning 2006

This is me on Christmas morning. My new robe says,"Hot Coco[a]" on it. It's true because when I wear it I really am hotter. Santa came to my house and also to Ariel's and Sammy's.

This is me opening presents with my dad. I really love my new suede vest with fur inside. It makes me "Hot Coco," too.

My Gramma Weezie came to visit me. She took me to see the Moscow Ballet perform Cinderella at the Schnitz. My favorite part was the seasons because I liked their costumes. She also came to my birthday party.

Thanks for friends, and family, and bread

We spent Thanksgiving with the DeVols this year. Emily was there and so was Uncle Jesse. Josh and Jen visited us from L.A., too and we had fun.

This is the challah bread I made.

And crazy "Uncle" Josh with my Dad.
