Trick or Treat?

I had the best Halloween ever! First I had a party at TOTRI Day Care in the morning with all my friends. Then Mama & I went to the Maplewood Halloween Party in town on Friday Nov 30th ... I was dressed up as Pancho Villa & Mama was Frida Kahlo. We had so much fun trick or treating & looking at all the other fun costumes! Thank you Auntie Lynned for my Mickey Mouse Pumpkin, I collected a lot of candy, but mama won't let me eat any of it ; ( After the party in town, we had pizza and went home to rest. On Saturday we stayed home & gave out candy to all the trick'or'treaters that came to our door. Some kids came dressed up in masks ... ooooo scaaary!

Fall visit to cousin Ella's ...

October 1st mamma & I hitched a ride down to Alexandria, VA to visit cousin Ella. We had such a fun 4 day weekend. We went to a fall festival, where I got to break in my new brown cowboy horsey boots that Nonna got me on the pony ride. I also got to see farm animals, go down some fun slides including the froggy one pictured here. I got to see how you milk a cow on the farm, & took a nice long Hay Ride with everyone. I got to pick out my own pumpkin to take home at the end of the day, which I hope to carve into a Jack-o-Lantern for Halloween. We also got to visit Kathleen & Bryan & the triplets, boy was that ever exciting! The best part was riding the choo-choo train ride home with mamma on Sunday, I got to see a real live conductor who asked for our tickets & punched holes in them. Can't wait to go back & visit again real soon.

Mamma's Birthday ...

Nonno & Nonna and Tina came over to celebrate Mamma's Birthday. Nonna made a lemon poppyseed cake with lemon icing, yum! Cake, yay, my favorite .... Happy the Birthday Mamma!!! Tina lit the candles and I helped Mamma blow them out, then I told Tina to light them again and again, "More Tina, More!"

The Zoo key dance ...

Turtle Back Zoo ...

Mamma & Baba took me to the Turtle Back Zoo one fine Sat morning, and it was so much fun, I can't wait to go back. I went on a pony ride, I rode the Zebra on the carousel, I saw lots of animals, and even got to ride the choo choo train twice! It was a grand day out!

Easter in CT ...

Mamma & Baba took me up to Nonna & Nonno's house for Easter weekend. We had so much fun going out to the barn to see the horses & chasing Nonna's cat Kiki. I also really enjoyed the egg hunt in Nonna & Nonno's garden. There were loads of colored "balls" filled with cookies for me to collect in my basket. Zia Tina even made us the traditional Barbacci Easter Bunny cake which was so yummy in my tummy!
