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.
It was nice out for a winter day, so I brought Hugs with me for a park day!
Kenji and I spent the morning playing at home with everything in my playroom.
Eventually, Kenji found a spray water bottle. We had way too much fun spraying water into a bowl.
Then we went to the playground and had loads of fun.
In the evening, we celebrated the 7th night of Hanukkah.
Kenji got stickers and I got a book and another subway train – the F train!
I had a routine visit with my gastroenterologist and realized this wooden bead toy in the waiting area looks just like a roller coaster!
We were also visited by Groot and Captain America in the lobby!
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!
It was light out as we caught the Dartmouth Coach at the bus station, and dark by the time we were in the air over Boston.
Thanks for having us, Grandma and Grandpa!
I spent the afternoon at the Montshire Museum of Science, where I’ve been once before. But this time, I did all new things.
I got to make a bubble wall…
…and a bubble dome.
I watched air bubbles float up through liquids of different viscosity.
And slid pennies down this huge funnel.
I got to put my hand through fog…
…and put balls through this maze of air tunnels!
A place I requested we go to was King Arthur Flour in Vermont. It’s tradition!
It’s not Thanksgiving yet, but they were already set up for Christmas.
On our first full day in New Hampshire, it snowed!
It was cold and slushy and I managed to stay outside for about ten minutes, but I packed a lot in. Like making tiny snowmen with Grandpa.
And sledding down Winter Hill Road. I wonder why they call it Winter Hill. Hmmmmm…
It had been longer than usual since I’d been on on airplane, so it was time to hit the air again!
This time, I took my very first red eye to visit Grandma and Grandpa in New Hampshire. I get very excited when I see the list of departures.
Then we waited for the TSA escort that helps us get all my liquids through.
I did a lot of the usual…hanging out on the people mover…
…going to the play area…
…trying to avoid Mommy when she asked me to pose by this statue.
We took off at 10:45pm and it didn’t take me too long to fall asleep.
But I did wake up in time to take this picture as we approached Boston Logan International Airport.
I wasn’t done sleeping, though. I got in a few more winks on the bus ride to New Hampshire. My first red eye flight was a success!
