Anpanman underwear

Ailee got these Anpanman underwear from her cousins and she loves them. She will bring them to me and ask to wear them. I'll put one on her, and let her do the rest. She says "big girl, big girl" while she puts the other 6 on. Then she'll walk around her room dragging them.

Reading to Bunny Bunny

Ailee spends a lot of time with her bunny. Here, Ailee is reading Christmas music to him!

Why is Ailee so tall?

I was feeding Ailee one day and kept thinking how tall she was. When I was done feeding her, I realized that her legs were folded. That is a true Japanese way to sit!

I love you, Grandpa!

Ailee found grandpa asleep on the couch. She sat next to him and stroked his hair. Then gave him a kiss!

Playing the piano with Bunny Bunny

Ailee and I went up to Boise for a week while Devin was gone to Omaha on a business trip. Ailee really enjoyed the piano. She would sit Bunny Bunny next to her and play to him or help him play the piano too.

Zion National Park

The day after Thanksgiving, Devin's family came down to St. George and we went to Zions. The day started out very cold, but it turned out to be a nice day. In the first picture, Ailee is warming up Devin's ears. Ailee loves to wear her sunglasses we got for her in Hawaii. We hiked to the Emerald pools and really enjoyed the scenery. We feel so lucky to have such a beautiful place right by us.

In St. George

We went to a place where you can see the whole St. George. It was a really nice view. Here's a plicture of all of us and Ailee in her new outfit.

baby calfs

Uncle Steve took us to his farm and showed us baby cafts. Most of them were only a few weeks old and they were so cute. Ailee kept saying "Baby cow!" and went to all of them one by one and talked to each of them.

Thanksgiving with Grandpa and Grandma

We had our Thanksgiving in Salt Lake with Devin's family. Ailee was so happy to see her grandpa, grandma, aunts and uncles.

Bathing Bunny Bunny

Ailee's little bunny was getting stinky and it was time for a bath. I was going to let Ailee play with wather outside, so I asked her to bath her bunny bunny. She washed his arms, legs, back, tummy, then washed his head. All in the same order I wash her. After washing bunny bunny, Ailee decided she wanted to wash her head...then all her clothes came off and she tried to put her whole body in the bowl. She got really frustrated when she couldn't fit!
