FINLEY & SUNNIE AT THE NEW HOUSE

Finley and Sunnie have really adjusted to the new house. Finley still likes taking his walks, and he has even more places to explore.

We also discovered that he enjoys a nice tree to dig those claws into.

Not surprisingly, Sunnie really enjoys this sunny corner by the window.

But so does Finley. It’s hard having to share your spot.

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!

CORNER 14

A food court pod recently opened up in Oregon City, so we had to go. Mommy got pizza, Daddy got gumbo, and I got GUACAMOLE! (It was pretty good, but OC Taco’s guac is even better.)

Not only can you get food there, but you can also do Celtic axe throwing! (I’m not old enough, but maybe one day…?).

On the way back to our car, we caught the train that rumbles through there. I can never get enough of that train.

NICE SEEING YOU, TAYLORS!

After I go to a new amusement park, I like to update the list of rides I’ve ridden into a Google spreadsheet. Sakura was very interested! Maybe a future coaster enthusiast?

Then Kenji and I played around in the comfiness of his bed.

Hmm, it seems like we do that a lot! (Flashback to 2017!)

It was nice to see you, Sakura! You’ve grown so big in the last year!
