SEATTLE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

I had my appointment with the Genetics Clinic at the Seattle Children’s Hospital. I was super brave when they took my blood. And the phlebotomist was from Salem, OR. She’s been to Portland and over the Hawthorne Bridge!

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!).
