An early birthday present was a Zoom conversation with Taylor Bybee! He’s the person behind Coaster Studios, one of my favorite YouTube channels. I talked to him for about 45 minutes, asked him questions, and told him some of the coasters I’ve been on. He’s really cool!
I also got a video message from Chris at Airtime Thrills!
And from Peter at Theme Park Crazy!
It snowed! The day after Christmas!
I went sledding at our new local park, Midhill Park. It’s across the street and up a little path.
Sunnie liked to stay cozy and look at the snow through the window.
We didn’t know if Finley would still want to go on his walk, but he loved it. Can you find him?
It’s Christmas, and here I am patiently waiting and smiling.
Now let the present opening begin!
Among many awesome things I got, like games, clothes, books, and fake poop…I also got this rocking chair that should keep me pretty busy.
Weeeee! Thank you, everyone!
Oh, and here is Finley just relaxing…
…And Sunnie curious about Finley’s Christmas present.
Finley and Sunnie have really adjusted to the new house. Finley still likes taking his walks, and he has even more places to explore.
We also discovered that he enjoys a nice tree to dig those claws into.
Not surprisingly, Sunnie really enjoys this sunny corner by the window.
But so does Finley. It’s hard having to share your spot.
Nana sent me a pack of cookies, frosting, and other goodies so I can decorate my very own Christmas cookies!
Sometimes you have to take a little sampling of the frosting just to make sure it’s good…
Then you very carefully add the little sprinkles…
And then it’s time for a taste test…
Pretty good!
Thanks, Nana!
We celebrated every night of Hanukkah, but the true test is the 8th night, where I light allllll of the candles. Look at that focus.
I nailed it!
Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa, for all of the awesome roller coaster layout maps, the Katie Woo books, and…
…this super cool roller coaster!
I will ride it everyday. Here are my views, on and off the track. Happy Hanukkah!
I did it! I’m fully vaccinated! Like last time, waiting the 15 minutes after is the hardest part…
It was raining and dark. But I wanted a Christmas tree. So we went to our regular place, Shannon’s U-Cut and, as usual, I picked the perfect tree! (I also checked out the prices – we got a 6 ft douglas fir.)
Because we’re also in the middle of Hanukkah, we saw this giant inflatable menorah on our drive home.
Once we set up the tree, I got right to decorating. Now for those presents to start rolling in…
Now that I live in the Cedaroak boundary, I get to take the school bus! I wasted no time and started the first day we lived there. This is me getting off at my stop for the first time!
And we have a nice little walk home, through the park and over two little bridges.
