January 9th, 10th, and 11th 2008

Elise,

Two days ago,

You got to spend the day with Grandma and Grandpa Duck. I heard that you got to go to McDonald's with them. I also heard that Grandpa Duck was shooting you and Grandma in the butt with a fake gun and you thought it was funny. Grandma and Grandpa Duck also bought you a Dora hat and gloves and a mouse toy also. It sounded like you had lots of fun. Also,you got your firstcut (well okay, it was just your bangs). But, you did pretty good. You were a little wiggly, but other than that, you were great. Then we went to McDonalds (again) with Grandma and Grandpa Wallace and Aunt Charkee. You of course, only wanted the french fries with fry sauce. You are so cute. Then later that evening, you and dad looked at daddy's fossil collections. You love to look at fossils with him. You will say fishies when you want to look and also bites, for trilobites.

You also found a color page and decided to shake it around. You were having lots of fun with that.

The next morning, I asked you wanted you wanted for breakfast, and you replied, "a burger". Must have been all those burgers from McDonalds the day before. :] You also said a new word today. You said, "DVD." So precious.

Tonight--January 11, 2008 we went and got family photos taken. They did them at the Best Western Hotel and while we were waiting for our turn, you kept running back and forth down a long hallway and when you came to the stairs you would stop and then act like you were going to run down them. I stopped you a few times, but then I decided to just let you go. And to my surprise you knew how to climb down them (standing, not crawling.) I was so proud of you. You were a good girl for the pictures. You kept sticking your tongue out at the photographer though. It was pretty funny.
