KENJI’S 6th BIRTHDAY (DAY ONE)

For Kenji’s 6th birthday, he had a party at the Great Wolf Lodge!!! That’s one of my absolute all-time favorite places.

They have an arcade, which I looooooooove.

They have a wave pool, which Kenji loooooooooves.

And there are lots of activities, like…storytime…

…exploring the Moonstone Mine…

…and finding gemstones at Oliver’s Mining Company. Stay tuned for Day 2!

MY 9TH BIRTHDAY

I’m 9 years old! Here’s my birthday morning stash.

I love the Roblox game, Build a Boat for Treasure. Nana and Papa got me a gift card to buy Robux, the game platform’s virtual currency. Here is me trying to calculate how many Robux I can buy…

…and how much gold that Robux will get me…

…and me realizing, that’s a lotta gold!

And then I immediately went to my computer to buy new pieces for my boat. Happy birthday to me!

CHRISTMAS 2021

It’s Christmas, and here I am patiently waiting and smiling.

Now let the present opening begin!

Among many awesome things I got, like games, clothes, books, and fake poop…I also got this rocking chair that should keep me pretty busy.

Weeeee! Thank you, everyone!

Oh, and here is Finley just relaxing…

…And Sunnie curious about Finley’s Christmas present.

COOKIE DECORATING

Nana sent me a pack of cookies, frosting, and other goodies so I can decorate my very own Christmas cookies!

Sometimes you have to take a little sampling of the frosting just to make sure it’s good…

Then you very carefully add the little sprinkles…

And then it’s time for a taste test…

Pretty good!

Thanks, Nana!

HANUKKAH 2021

We celebrated every night of Hanukkah, but the true test is the 8th night, where I light allllll of the candles. Look at that focus.

I nailed it!

Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa, for all of the awesome roller coaster layout maps, the Katie Woo books, and…

…this super cool roller coaster!

I will ride it everyday. Here are my views, on and off the track. Happy Hanukkah!

CHRISTMAS TREE 2021

It was raining and dark. But I wanted a Christmas tree. So we went to our regular place, Shannon’s U-Cut and, as usual, I picked the perfect tree! (I also checked out the prices – we got a 6 ft douglas fir.)

Because we’re also in the middle of Hanukkah, we saw this giant inflatable menorah on our drive home.

Once we set up the tree, I got right to decorating. Now for those presents to start rolling in…
