Kenji and Sakura were supposed to leave today, but it snowed and got really icy. So we got to keep them for an extra day!

KENJI & HANUKKAH NIGHT 4
It was another amazing day with Kenji and Sakura! We woke up early and hit the ground running.
A little Sakura trivia: she loves the harmonica.
We went to Nana and Papa’s house for an early Christmas celebration.
Then we went home and lit the candles for the fourth night of Hanukkah.
KENJI IS HERE! (& HANUKKAH NIGHT 3)
Kenji and Sakura are here! We have so much fun together. And we even got to celebrate the third night of Hanukkah with them!
HANUKKAH 2022 (NIGHTS 1 & 2)
Happy Hanukkah! And thanks for the cool gifts!
CHRISTMAS TREE 2022
As is our annual tradition, we cut down our tree at the Shannon U-Cut Tree Farm.
First, I pick out the perfect tree.
Then, Daddy does the actual cutting.
He also gets to carry it to the car.
Finally, I put the money in the box. Done!
SALMON RELEASE
In science this year, we raised salmon from little eggs to alevins to fry. Then it was time to release them into the Willamette River. All of us 3rd graders walked down to the boat dock to let our fry swim free.
I named my fry Salish. I sure hope she makes it to the Pacific Ocean!
This is my 3rd grade class! My teacher, Mr. Jones, is taking the picture.
And here are allll of the 3rd graders!
TUMWATER HISTORICAL PARK
After leaving Kenji’s house to go home, I first wanted to stop at a playground I saw on Google Maps. I rode a couple of absolutely epic slides and then we stopped at a lunch spot, where I made it known how I feel about photos.
TAYLOR THANKSGIVING 2022
We spent Thanksgiving with the Taylor gang! A really fun thing we did was make gingerbread houses.
Of course, Kenji and I did a lot of gaming.
And we also just had loads of other kinds of fun because we love having fun!
Finally, enjoy a video of us having the best time ever on a deflating air mattress!
HALLOWEEN 2022
I dressed up as a Ninja this year. And it was so rainy, that I was one of the only people trick-or-treaters, and people gave me TONS of candy!
RIVER CANYON RUN
River Canyon Run is my favorite water slide at the Great Wolf Lodge. You sit on a raft with up to four other people and go whooshing down a big slide before landing in a pool. I was really afraid the first time I rode it, but grew to love it. I especially love riding it with Kenji!
