Starting to really dig into my holiday gifts. Thanks, Taylor gang, for the magnetic blocks!


Starting to really dig into my holiday gifts. Thanks, Taylor gang, for the magnetic blocks!


Good morning, 2018!

It was a really nice day today, so we went out to the field behind our house and played with the glider Nana and Papa got me for Christmas. Thanks for the cool gift!






I have a cold. Need to get my rest to start the new year strong.

Here are some more things that all Mommies fans must know before visiting:
Kenji and I set a world speed record in present-opening after we finished what felt like the world’s slowest breakfast. Must grown-ups really eat breakfast on Christmas morning???


After we were done, Kenji and I decided to stand up on our boxes and scream.


Kenji liked all of his gifts, but I think the packing material was his favorite.

While Kenji napped, I opened up my new Playmobile airplane and got to some serious playing.

Also, we had snow! So I made the world’s tiniest snowman.


We headed up to Kenji’s house on Christmas Eve. The first order of business was to check out the presents.

Then I joined the boys in watching something riveting on TV. (I think it was either “The Polar Express” or “The Smurfs,” and in both cases, I had no idea what was going on.)

Chubs liked watching us eat dinner.

After Uncle Ryan’s delicious dinner (the soba was my favorite!), I did some drawing.

Meanwhile, Kenji wondered if his Uncle Eric actually tied poop bags around his arms.

Later, while the grown-ups were busy, I did a little babysitting until it was time to go to bed before Christmas.


Nana and Papa got me an Advent house to count down the days to Christmas.

I made a little improvement to the interior…

Here are the goodies that I got!

Eliwen is moving to Japan on Christmas Day. So we went to our old haunt, theĀ Singer Hill Cafe, with her before she left. I told her I’d send her candy canes because she loves them and they don’t have them in Japan.


My dentist had a winter scene set up for pictures, because everyone wants a photo from the dentist, yeah?

This is something I call a “Feet Balloon:”
