We have been busy, busy, busy! During Thanksgiving, Logann had the opportunity to play with Owen for a few days. Every night, she would cry because she didn't want to leave Owen. When the weekend was over, Logann woke up every morning looking for Owen. She can't wait until we go to visit him once baby Stella is born. She will be excited about seeing the baby, but she will LOVE playing with Owie.
Christmas has come and gone quickly. We got to spend some time with my cousin from LA. Logann cozied right up to her and her husband, Matt. There were many times when I would find her sitting right next to Matt playing his DS. He controlled the left buttons and she controlled the right ones. It was really cute. When the DS wasn't around, Logann would sit with Lisa and play games on her iphone. We drove with to up to my grandparents house for my grandpa's 90 birthday party. Logann loved playing the organ in the party room and riding the scooter up and down the hallways.
After the party, we drove to Seminole to celebrate Christmas with Jeremy's mom. We had a blast watching Logann dress up in her new dress up clothes. She loved being a princess. She was so excited to get the movie Wall-E. She had already watched it before we even got back home.
Christmas was a lot of fun. We opened presents at our house Christmas morning. Once we finished presents, we went over to Nana & Poppa's house for our traditional star biscuits and gravy breakfast. We had more Christmas with Nana & Poppa and Uncle Larry, Aunt Barbara, Cousin Lisa, and Cousin Matt. Logann received a Rose Petal Cottage and a new baby doll. The cottage is so big that I'm going to have to rearrange her bedroom or get rid of some furniture to make everything fit. She loves it though. She puts on her princess dress everyday, accessorizes with her high heeled, plastic shoes, and climbs into the cottage to play. She is becoming such a big girl. Almost a week later, she is asking me if she can open more presents.
She loved hearing the pigs snort and seeing the tall stalks of corn. We brought home two pumpkins that Logann picked out. It took us awhile to find some good ones because Logann kept telling us, "That's not a good one." or "That one has bugs." We finally found two that she approved of, and brought them home to our front porch.
At each house, she walked right up to the doors and rang the bells, but when our friends would come to the door, she didn't wait for them to hand her the candy. She would walk right into the house and try to find the bucket herself. 
We had a great time visiting friends and, of course, eating the candy.
She did not catch anything, but the next morning she said that fishing was her favorite part. 
We roasted hotdogs and made smores. It took some convincing, but Logann finally decided to eat the whole smore and not just the marshmallows. Once it got dark, we headed to our tent to watch movies (we couldn't rough it totally!). The night went smoothly until a few cows found their way to our tent and started chewing on my shoes that were outside the tent "door." I woke up to hear Jeremy yelling, "GAW! GAW!" as he tried to get the cows to move on. Luckily, they dropped my shoes and took off. Logann slept through the whole thing!
She wasn't too sure about all the kids screaming and dancing. You know how crazy kid's concerts can be!!! She kept asking to go to the bathroom, so I deduced that she was finding any excuse possible to get out of there. On our third trip to the restroom, I finally figured out that she had spied a fish tank outside of the bathroom doors. By this time, the concert was over, so as we headed to the car...she threw a fit because she wanted to go back to the concert. She cried all the way home. I guess she really did enjoy herself.
Of course, she got the movie star treatment. They brought her a cold drink to enjoy while she picked out her color. She sat in my lap as they clipped and filed away on my old feet. 
Then, she got to put her feet in the bubbling bath and watch as the under-light turned the water different colors. They massaged her feet 
and added her carefully selected, hot pink polish. 
She looked like a movie star getting pampered.
She played with the toys in the gym. She even took a nap on her napmat that I made her. To top it all off, she came home with a book order. I remember getting so excited to take them home and look at them with my mom. Now, I'm the mom (and I still get excited to look at them.) I am officially a FREAK! I took too many pictures of Logann's first day, from her eating breakfast,
It's not really school, but from all the flashes going off, you would have thought I was dropping her off at college. I'm proud of my big girl. She's already talking about going back to school, and it's only 3:58 on the same day!
It took her a minute to get going, but after a few minutes she was dumping the bowls onto the paper, and the little finger dabbles became full hand swishes. 
My little budding artist makes me proud. Next, we're off to play a little Elefun!
