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!”
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!
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?
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.
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!
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!
Here’s a video of Kenji’s trip to West Linn last week!
For New Years Day, we took a little jaunt to Oregon City.
At Black Ink Coffee, we built a bunch of little LEGO creations.
Then we walked to the record store so Daddy could ask someone about getting his record player fixed.
And then I tried to avoid Mommy’s camera, as usual.
I wear my glasses in the morning, and Kenji wanted to see what they were all about. He looks pretty good, huh?
Then he wanted to go outside and blow bubbles, even though it was really cold. Not me!
He loves playing with Daddy…
…And I enjoy cuddling and relaxing.
Then it was time for Kenji to go home. But before he left, he took these pictures of Mommy and Aunt Lisa. Thanks for visiting, Kenji!
In the evening, we celebrated the final night of Hanukkah. That’s a lot of candles!
Grandma and Grandpa got me this cool pedal Go Kart. Thanks for all of the Hanukkah gifts, Grandma and Grandpa!
