On the day after my birthday, I was feeling a bit better – well enough to visit Tongva Park and its awesome roller slide!
It also had this cool rock climbing thing.
And another great set of slides.
There was also this spinny thing where I practiced for the Mad Tea Party ride I want to go on at Disneyland.
Mommy and I climbed up this yellow thing.
And Aunt Sarah took a picture of us so that we’d have an actual family photo!
We celebrated my 6th birthday in Los Angeles with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah. But I was still sick! So we had a nice, low-key celebration.
First, on the way to breakfast, we drove on CA-90 just like I wanted to. It was the road I was most excited for!
Then, back at the apartment we’re staying at, Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah hid my birthday presents and I went on a search for them.
And I found one!
And I found the other one! Thank you for the gifts, Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah!
Then it was time to rest because I was pooped.
But a birthday wouldn’t be a birthday without a celebratory cake. As requested, I had three candles. (I never want the candles to match my age. It’s just a thing.)
On the day before my birthday, I flew to Los Angeles! Did you know I love everything about airports??
And I was extra excited because it was my first time on Southwest Airlines! (I’ve also been on Alaska, JetBlue, Delta, and Virgin America.)
Once we got flying, I got busy drawing airplanes.
And in Burbank, you get to exit at the rear of the plane and walk down the stairs. My first time!
I have a cold, but I’m trying to get better before our big trip to Los Angeles!
Anyone who knows me knows that I cherish a lazy Sunday.
It had been a while since I went to LEGO Club with Daddy, but I really wanted to build Elle Beach in Mommies.
And I like getting to put my creation on the shelf!
Elle Beach includes the Love Elle Suites & Inn, a truck, and a seaplane.
For New Year’s Day, we headed to the big city. (That’s Portland.)
Mommy and Daddy always want to go to coffee shops. I liked this one, though, because we got to sit at the bar and watch people make coffee.
Then we walked around a little and saw the longest train ever! All in all, a quality day.
Here are my Christmas-y masterpieces I made at school.
At the crack of dawn (ha ha, just kidding, the sun hadn’t risen yet), I rushed down to the living room to open my Christmas presents.
Somehow, I wore pajamas that looked exactly like my wrapping paper.
But whatever, it was time to open presents! And I did so at lightning speed.
Thanks to Santa, Mommy and Daddy, Nana and Papa, Grandma and Grandpa, and Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah for all the cool gifts!
Then it was time for my daily walk across the back of the couch.
Then I was quickly bored.
Until I remembered that I love my cardboard tunnel.
And watching Nick Offerman drink whisky on TV was fun, too.
Eventually, Mommy and Daddy proposed we go outside for a little walk. I agreed, as long as I didn’t have to put on clothes. Merry Christmas, everyone!
Last night, we went to Maddax Woods in West Linn to see their Christmas light display. It was very rainy, but still pretty.
My favorite part was walking down the dark path, lit only with a long string of lights.
