Merry Christmas

Santa was very good to us this year.  We had so many presents under the tree and my brother and I opened them first thing in the morning.  We were so excited that we woke up very early.  I got the Tri Strike wanted and some other surprise gifts just as Santa promised.  Mommy made us chocolate chip pancakes and then we made our way to Carlsbad to celebrate with Grandpa Al, Grandma Katy, and our entire family.  It was a full day of events, lots of food, games to play, and of course, mounds of presents.  We are very lucky kids and we had a memorable holiday season!

T'was the Night Before Christmas

Tonight we celebrated Christmas Eve with our family.  We first visited with Grandma Lu where she cooked us a yummy dinner and we got to open up all our presents.  Santa visited her house early and left us each kindles.  Afterwards, we went to Grandpa John’s where we got to play with all our cousins and open even more presents.  We are very spoiled and loved children.

A Gingerbread Neighborhood

Today we created a gingerbread neighborhood.  We invited our friend Emmett to join us as well so we made a total of 5 houses for our neighborhood.  We were really proud of ourselves as Mommy and Daddy built the houses, but we got to design and decorate any way we chose.  The best part is that we get to devour them tomorrow.  Yum!

Holiday Party

Today we had a holiday party at school.  It was a lot of fun because Daddy and Mommy were able to come to the party too.  We played games, decorated cookies, made snowman, ate pizza, and watched Polar Express.  Tomorrow we will have a pajama party,  bring our pillows and blankets from home, and all the books we can carry so we can have a read in.  Then we are off for Winter Break!!!

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas

We decorated our house today for Christmas and although it was before Thanksgiving, it got me in the holiday spirit.

Happy 7th Birthday to Me!

We celebrated my 7th birthday with my family and friends.  My birthday was on a Wednesday and Mommy and Daddy surprised me with balloons all over my bedroom floor.  They also gave me a camera and tripod that was already set up for me.  In the afternoon, Mommy and Daddy surprised Parker, Emmett and I when they took us to Chuck E. Cheese to play games.  After our visit there, we went and got pizza for dinner and we made s'mores for dessert.  It was a great night!  On Sunday, Mommy and Daddy threw me a party for my immediate family and close friends.  I got the Nerf Mastadon and Rhino Fire that I've been wanting for a long time now.  It was so nice to see my family and friends and celebrate with them.  

Happy Halloween

This Halloween season was so much fun.  We went to Grandpa John's to carve pumpkin's with Joce and Grayson.  Parker and I decorated our house and rearranged our decorations every few days until we got the perfect setting.  We tried to drive around our neighborhood and look at other decorations too.  We went trunk or treating at our school a few days before Halloween.  On Halloween, we dressed up as Police Officers and walked around our neighborhood with Daddy while Mommy handed out candy.  When we got home we handed out candy too.  It was a great night and still one of my favorite holidays.

All I Want for Christmas are my Two Front Teeth

I lost my two front teeth all in the same week.  One tooth mommy pulled out and the other came out on it's own.  Although I don't like losing teeth, I do like when the tooth fairy visits.

1st Day of School - 1st Grade

I'm in 1st Grade!  My teacher's name is Ms Brooks and I'm in Room 13.  I really enjoyed my summer but I'm hoping for a great 2016-2017 school year!

Pool Time Fun

We've had lots of fun this summer in Grandma Lu's pool.  I've been able to practice my swimming more and I've become a stronger swimmer.  It is always fun being able to swim and barbecue with my family.
