Bug hand made all her valentines for her school friends a week before the planned school party. She carefully cut out hearts, wrote her name, and glued them onto paper heart doilies. She worked very hard on them and is eagar to give them out at the valentines day party.
As predicted, this winter has overwhelmed Ohio with snow. Bug enjoyed playing in it at first but after a week of school cancellations and twice cancelled Valentine's Day party, she was quite tired of the snow. 
Bug helped Mommy bake cupcakes for Daddy's birthday with her new cupcake maker she got from Santa Claus.
To bring in 2010, Bug went to the New Years Eve party at Kids America with Mommy & Daddy. Bug ran into a few friends there and enjoyed playing in the huge bounce houses, on the soccer fields, and getting her face painted. Before Bug went to the party she ate one of her favorite meals, kielbasa and kraut and also made her rockin 2010 glasses. Then after returning home, Bug helped Mommy bake cookies and get all the instruments ready for the midnight celebration. She danced around to the music getting ready for the countdown and was so excited when midnight came. Mommy and Bug went on the porch and made lots of noise for the neighbors to welcome in the new year. Grandma Tyna called to wish a happy new year and then finally it was off to bed.
Bug was very excited that Santa came on Christmas morning. She thought she must have been a really good girl since she got so many presents. Her favorite was her Leapster 2. She also really loved having her stocking filled with neat goodies. Daddy's stocking also had some goodies in it, so Bug wondered why Mommy didn't have anything. The consensus was that Mommy was put on the naughty list!
Bug made sure she put out the cookies she made at Grandmas and Reindeer food out on the porch. Bug also put out a special Santa key for him to get into the house. 
Bug loves her Granny!!
and Aunt Connie & Uncle Randall
Next was Papaw & Grandma's house....
The last stop on Christmas Eve was Grandma Tyna's house. Everyone had lots of fun with Bug unwrapping presents, making cookies, and watching old christmas home movies. Bug got to see old movies of Grandpa Gill who will always be with the family in hearts and memories.
One of Grandma & Bug's favorite parts of Christmas is eating chocolate covered cherries.
