EARLY MORNING DECORATING
I started decorating the tree last night, but got in a few more ornaments as soon as I woke up this morning.
CHRISTMAS TREE HUNTING
One of our traditions is to find the rainiest day of the month and then go get our Christmas tree. It makes the mission extra special.
I located the best tree on the farm and sent Daddy to work cutting it down.
I also found this cool tree that I could stand under.
After we put the tree in the car, I noticed the farm map!
So then, despite it getting dark quickly, I had to walk all around looking for the douglas, grand, noble, and nordmann firs. I even found a few scotch pines!
FANTASY SUBWAY MAP
I took Mommy’s iPad and started drawing my fantasy subway map for Portland.
SNOW DAYS ARE LAZY DAYS
It was snowy and icy outside, which was my excuse for the perfect day of lounging around.
Grandma and I had a “draw off,” which will become our new evening tradition while I’m here.
PUMPKIN CARVING
We carved the pumpkins I got at the pumpkin patch! I sketched out their faces on paper so Mommy would know how to carve them.
LOUNGE “CHAIR”
This is a Teeter Popper, but I’ve repurposed it as lounge furniture.
BIG HAT
Daddy is making a short movie with his judo sensei. He bought this hat as a prop. I look pretty good in it, huh?
DANCING TO SAFEWAY
Mommy needed some food for our dinner, so we walked to Safeway. (I danced.)
FLU SHOT BLUES
The waiting is the hardest part…
