December was a busy month with parties, shopping and lots of activities. Ari has plenty of energy to spare, as evidenced by her readiness to pose for the camera after returning from a Christmas party with mom and dad.

"Oh, I didn't know you were wearing red, too," Ari says to cousin Keilani.

Grandma and Keilani know what a doll is, but we're not sure Ari does. They help her to play with her new toy.

Christmas morning arrived with lots of fun new things to explore!

Ari decided to change into her play outfit. She and Keilani enjoyed playing with the train grandma and grandpa gave to Ari for Christmas. Do we have a little muscle woman on our hands?

After having Christmas brunch at Daddy's childhood home, Ari had Christmas dinner in Mommy's hometown with the whole family at her brother's house. Here she is with uncle and auntie. Shortly after this, apparently having had enough socializing and wardrobe changes, she promptly tossed all her Christmas cookies.
