On my last day of school before winter break, all five 1st grade classes got together for a holiday sing-along. We were told we could wear our pajamas and bring our favorite stuffie or doll. So I did!

HANUKKAH 2020 – NIGHTS 7 & 8
On the seventh night of Hanukkah, it was very appropriate to light my space shuttle menorah because…
…it was a space kind of night! Grandma and Grandpa sent me some books about rockets and the International Space Station.
Then on the final night of Hanukkah, I had to focus really hard on lighting eight candles candles while Daddy tried to eat my head.
Daddy bought me a book about baseball because I’ve been wanting to know all about the rules.
And Grandma and Grandpa got me a rocket!
I’m super excited to launch it. I’ve already been flying it all over the house. Thank you for all of the Hanukkah gifts!
HANUKKAH 2020 – NIGHTS 5 & 6
It was the fifth night of Hanukkah and would you just look at that steady hand?
I got to open up a gift of delicious chocolate truffles. One of my favorite things about a box of chocolates is the map that tells you what’s in each one!
On the sixth night, I started wondering if my space shuttle would take off with all that fire power!
I also opened up my first gift whose contents were a mystery to me even after I opened it! Grandma and Grandpa sent me the Osmo gaming system. I’ll have lots of time to learn it when winter break starts next week!
HANUKKAH 2020 – NIGHTS 3 & 4
By the third night of Hanukkah, I became a candle lighting master.
Also a present-opening master! I got a cat journal and a big box of markers.
I loved seeing all of the colors listed on the box of markers…
…and tested them all in my new cat journal.
Then on the next night, I got a couple of books that I had previously checked out at the library and loved, including “They All Saw a Cat!”
HANUKKAH 2020 – NIGHTS 1 & 2
It’s officially holiday season! How do you like the new menorah I picked out? The firetruck menorah I had since I was a baby fell apart last year, so its successor is a space shuttle!
For the first night, Daddy and Mommy got me a book about football for Hanukkah because I’ve been curious about the rules of the game.
And Grandma and Grandpa got me a calendar of adorable kittens.
How much do I love kittens???
Then for the second night, Grandma and Grandpa got me a book of Lego contraptions.
I jumped around while Daddy got the box of Legos open. Thank you for the gifts everyone!
CAT-PROOF CHRISTMAS TREE
Because we have two crazy kittens (well, one particularly crazy kitten – Finley!), we didn’t get a regular Christmas tree this year.
Instead, we bought a tiny living Christmas tree that we’ll keep for years and years. But I still decorated it!
Finley was still interested in the tiny tree!
It’s a pretty little tree, huh?
HALLOWEEN 2020
We celebrated a socially distanced Halloween this year!
First, we carved pumpkins and Sunnie was very curious about this ritual.
We also made a sign for our candy table.
I dressed up as an orange tabby, like Sunnie! Meow!
We didn’t knock on doors this year, but our town did a lot of candy tables, bowls, and chutes.
How awesome is this black cat pumpkin someone painted?
Despite the unusual Halloween, I still brought in a big candy haul! My favorites were Sour Patch Kids and Kit Kats.
MOTHER’S DAY 2020
EASTER 2020
For this year’s stay-at-home-Easter, I colored some eggs!
(I actually stay home and do this every Easter, because Sundays are lazy days, coronavirus or not.)
I also had an in-the-house Easter egg hunt. (Again, it was inside the house because that is just my personal preference, coronavirus or not.)
Here, I found one in the windowsill succulent garden.
Each egg had a picture of a roller coaster inside!
I found ’em all!
THIS IS 7
I am 7 years old! I spent the day playing at home.
Mommy made this drawing to commemorate my seven trips around the sun.
And here is a video of me playing with some of my new toys. Thanks, everyone, for the gifts!
