Holiday Pics!

Little V hit up the Holiday Bazaar at Huntington Gardens long ago (before the cold and the rain), so it's about time my negligent blogging butt got them up!





Cuddling with her Uma is done at all times, but even better when she's dressed up. (How great does Kathleen's hair look? All flowy and shiny, like a Pantene commercial!)



Mary Jane's, cardigan, pigtails. Wonder whose kid she is?



Word up, mama!



She is soooooo mobile and constantly zipping around these days, that this is a rather frequent view. Her speeding off, you chasing after.



Two hands! All innocent! She's going to get away with so much, it's ridiculous.



Like this kind of petty thievery! (Sidenote: for any of you concerned about her budding little teethlets, be relieved to know that she did NOT drink any soda.)



Love this, as it's a recreation of last year's Thanksgiving Veronica As A Centerpiece game, but now she's soooooo big!



Vintage Veronica = So Tiny!



I love this series. It's entitled A Girl And Her Dog.



Chester just HAD to sit in the backseat with her. He's very chivalrous.



He wants into that carseat so badly!



It's all good, she loves her puppy big time.



Our friends Carmen (big time musical theater star) and Paul (her roadie) visited and Veronica adored them.



And they adored her right back. How could they resist this face?



Or these dance moves?



Seriously, though...



Could you resist???

So Many Pictures!

Playing catch up, so I'm going to go hog wild with the photos! Going on chronological order, so we'll start with sun and sand... and that may make it seem like it's SUPER long ago, but it's actually even still sunny and lovely now. (Although yes, these are super old, I'm that much off my game!)









Aren't those great?! They are very Hallmark... I love the last one, because it's the California version of snow angels. Sweet girl.



There's a rad little snuggle with Myra. Crapmatic, in addition to being a terribly absent Zia, I haven't seen my lady friends, either. Hi, Myra!



This one is rad, because the tone of it kind of has the jaunty air of Burt Reynold's Playgirl picture. Oh yeah, I did.



The next chunk falls under the documentary category of "slice of life".













This is so Epcot Center Up With People Happy Fun Times!



There are only two words in the English language that will suffice: humina humina.



Prison Break!



The more manic and pleased the smile, the more she looks like Amanda...



Introspective with Cup #42.



Now we are here... to the fun Halloween pics! (After this loving tribute to Auntie Who Loves Gnomes).



Cat and Mouse!!! Soooooooo cute you could vomit. The little stuffed tummy kills me every time.





Seriously, set torpedo to "Squeal" because my reactions to these are at a pitch ironically only heard by dogs.





You will probably catch on quicker than me, but these cute little boys (who are helping V invade Wisteria Lane) are dressed as Salt & Pepper shakers!! Genius.





Laaaaaaid back (got her mind on her money and her money on her mind).









Who is the most magical, fun, snuggly, hilarious little ball of perfection?



This girl! Miss you, Lady V.

Pumpkin Tease

Veronica's cutesy cuteness Halloween costume pics are coming soon, but these little autumnal shots of her rocking out in a pumpkin patch are going to be the appeteaser until then.



That's right - who likes pumpkins? This girl!



And her mama!



And even her auntie!



There was plenty to see and do, like running rampant with balloons or searching out buckets full of things.



Bucket found!



These cows were also found... I love how fearless she is, how she's all "oooh, hundreds of pounds of animal? ain't no thang!".



This is my favorite little series... you know how when kids this age hear music, they can't resist the siren call?



And all of the dancing is powered through their knees? She's all happy and grabby and feeling the beat!



Right there, that's the pose. It's all through the knees and the bum, you can kind of see her hoppy shuffle in your mind. Awesome.



And here's the world's cutest girl at home, with the world's cutest dog. (Toy and real.)



All smiles and love with her Uma! Now, coming soon... Halloween pics!
