riding a pony (This cost $5 for what turned out to be a 25 second ride, but it was so worth it to see how proud she was after the ride was over!)

Riding a Horse!

Baseball

She LOVES all sports and insisted we play baseball in the house. We used her gingerbread man puppet as a bat since our real bat is not for indoor use.

She made me get out a winter glove because she said she needed a glove to play baseball. I have no idea where she learned that since we don't watch sports, but she knew it!
