MORE EARLY CHRISTMAS & FINAL NIGHT OF HANUKKAH

Aunt Lisa mixed up Kenji’s animals during the night, so Kenji had to fix them right away.

Did you know that Kenji really likes balloons?

I opened my gifts from the Taylor’s, which included this great book about the 50 states.

It had a whole bunch of facts about every state, all the state flags, capitals, and American presidents. Thanks, Taylor’s!

Kenji got some cool Disney cars, which he liked a lot. He reminds me of me when I was two!

Then we decorated some cookies. We are obviously naturals.

It was also the final night of Hanukkah. After sundown, I mustered up all of my concentration to light all eight candles.

From Mom and Dad, I got a book about a dinosaur named…Dexter!

And from Grandma and Grandpa, I got a spirograph set! Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for the gifts all Hanukkah long!

Then when it was time to go to bed, I found Kenji cuddling with Hugs. She is so loved…

HANUKKAH & EARLY CHRISTMAS WITH KENJI

We went up to Seattle and had an early Christmas celebration with Kenji. He found his gift almost immediately and wanted to open it right away. It was a set of mix-and-match animal parts and he wasted no time getting to the business of assembling them.

It was also the 7th night of Hanukkah, so I opened my gift from Grandma and Grandpa. It was a Hot Wheels race track! Daddy assembled it and Kenji and I raced our cars.

HANUKKAH 2018: DAYS 4-6

On Day 4 of Hanukkah, I gave Daddy a present (an awesome drawing by me!) and opened a present from Grandma and Grandpa (a bunch of cool bendy straws!).

Then on Day 5, I got a cool set of magnetic letters and dry erase markers. Daddy seems pretty excited about them!

And on Day 5, I got a game called Zingo. I play this at school!

HANUKKAH 2018: DAY 3

For the third night of Hanukkah, I got a squiggle pen! It vibrates, which makes the lines that I draw all squiggly.

HANUKKAH 2018: DAY 2

Surrounded by my robot army, I lit the menorah for the second night.

Then I opened my present – Connect 4!

My favorite thing is to drop a bunch of the discs in the slots real fast.

HANUKKAH 2018: DAY 1

It’s the first night of Hanukkah and I have the menorah lighting duties!

After lighting the menorah, I got right to opening my present from Grandma and Grandpa.

It was a box of numbers that transform into robots!

Daddy and I spent some time making a little robot army. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!

THE JOURNEY BACK HOME

I’m getting to be a pro at these early morning departures from Boston back to home.

Thanks for having us, Grandma and Grandpa! And for driving us to the airport in the middle of the night!

THANKSGIVING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

On the day before Thanksgiving, we headed to The Barn Cafe in Claremont, NH. Grandpa owns this building with his buddy, Gene. And Josh, the cafe’s owner, turned it into a friendly little place.

But, most importantly…we found out which way it is to Vermont!
