CHRISTMAS EVE 2017

We headed up to Kenji’s house on Christmas Eve. The first order of business was to check out the presents.

Then I joined the boys in watching something riveting on TV. (I think it was either “The Polar Express” or “The Smurfs,” and in both cases, I had no idea what was going on.)

Chubs liked watching us eat dinner.

After Uncle Ryan’s delicious dinner (the soba was my favorite!), I did some drawing.

Meanwhile, Kenji wondered if his Uncle Eric actually tied poop bags around his arms.

Later, while the grown-ups were busy, I did a little babysitting until it was time to go to bed before Christmas.

ADVENT HOUSE

Nana and Papa got me an Advent house to count down the days to Christmas.

I made a little improvement to the interior…

Here are the goodies that I got!

SAYONARA, ELIWEN

Eliwen is moving to Japan on Christmas Day. So we went to our old haunt, the Singer Hill Cafe, with her before she left. I told her I’d send her candy canes because she loves them and they don’t have them in Japan.

DENTIST PHOTO OP

My dentist had a winter scene set up for pictures, because everyone wants a photo from the dentist, yeah?

HANUKKAH FINALE

Tonight was the grand finale of Hanukkah 2017. Here’s a rundown of the last few nights:

For night 4, Grandma and Grandpa got me a floor puzzle of the United States and I immediately make sure Oregon is there, safe and sound.

I’ve been kind of obsessed with babies lately, especially baby girls. So for night 5, Mommy and Daddy got me a doll, who I immediately named Hugs (she’s the baby girl who lives on Mommies). I take really good care of her.

On night 6, I got another airplane of an airline I don’t have yet – Allegiant!

On night 7, I got a jumbo road atlas. I already have a four-month road trip planned out that I informed Mommy and Daddy I want to take when I’m 5 years old, almost 6.

On night 8, it was time to set the firetruck menorah ablaze! I also got an indoor trampoline to help me get rid of the excess energy I have these days. Daddy and I are going to set it up tomorrow. Thank you again, Grandma and Grandpa, for the great gifts!

BIG OL’ MAP

Well, it was finally the day for me to get a haircut again, which is always a drag. But this awesome map on the wall at the kid salon made it all worth it.

THINGS I SAY #69

Sometimes I write words or numbers backwards. Mommy let me know that one of the things I wrote was going from right to left.

Me: Wellllllll……it’s Hanukkah, sooooo……I wanted to write it like Hebrew.

HANUKKAH 2017

Hanukkah is upon us, y’all!

Check out this super cool Cessna airplane toy I got on the first night.

Last night, I got a really neat atlas with fun facts about the 50 American states (did you know there’s a vacuum museum in Portland???) and, most importantly – MAPS!
