SAFE JOURNEYS, KENJI!
The snow and ice melted enough for the Taylor Gang to go home. We built some domino setups before they had to go. I had a super fun time, Kenji!
CHRISTMAS TREE 2022
As is our annual tradition, we cut down our tree at the Shannon U-Cut Tree Farm.
First, I pick out the perfect tree.
Then, Daddy does the actual cutting.
He also gets to carry it to the car.
Finally, I put the money in the box. Done!
CHRISTMAS 2021
It’s Christmas, and here I am patiently waiting and smiling.
Now let the present opening begin!
Among many awesome things I got, like games, clothes, books, and fake poop…I also got this rocking chair that should keep me pretty busy.
Weeeee! Thank you, everyone!
Oh, and here is Finley just relaxing…
…And Sunnie curious about Finley’s Christmas present.
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!
CHRISTMAS 2020
On Christmas morning, I woke up and immediately went to admire all of my gifts!
Sunnie was also in the holiday spirit, hanging out in her Christmas RV.
After we opened all of our presents, Finley took a nap on his high shelf.
Leading up to Christmas, I opened up a small gift in my Advent house every day of December. Some of the gifts I got were these little Lego cats!
Here is a video of my Christmas day! Thank you for the gifts, Nana and Papa, Aunt Lisa & Uncle Ryan, Uncle Mike & Aunt Sarah, Mommy and Daddy, and Santa!
SANTA TRACKING
On Christmas Eve, I woke up to a beautiful foggy morning.
But then I got right down to the business of tracking Santa with the NORAD Santa Tracker. When I first checked in the morning, he was on his way to Perth, Australia. By the time I went to bed, he was dropping off presents on the east coast of America!
FIRST GRADE SING-ALONG
On my last day of school before winter break, all five 1st grade classes got together for a holiday sing-along. We were told we could wear our pajamas and bring our favorite stuffie or doll. So I did!

Here’s a video of Kenji’s trip to West Linn last week!
CHRISTMAS 2019 & HANUKKAH NIGHT 4
When I woke up Christmas morning, I found a present waiting from Santa. It was a doll wearing a tulle dress! I named her Baby Rosie.
I got lots of other cool gifts involving my very favorite things – comfy coats, roller coasters, and the NYC subway. Thank you, Mommy and Daddy, Nana and Papa, and Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah!
I also got this spinner toy that makes me feel like I’m on the Mad Tea Party ride in Disneyland.
I spent a good long time comparing the 2004 and 2019 subway maps that Santa left in my stocking.
After all my new presents were opened, I played with my old wooden train set with its new subway car.
But the festivities weren’t over! Come sundown, we celebrated the fourth night of Hanukkah.
I got another subway car (the S train!) to add to my collection, as well as a book about fun and crazy words. Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa!
