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!
It was the fifth night of Hanukkah and would you just look at that steady hand?
I got to open up a gift of delicious chocolate truffles. One of my favorite things about a box of chocolates is the map that tells you what’s in each one!
On the sixth night, I started wondering if my space shuttle would take off with all that fire power!
I also opened up my first gift whose contents were a mystery to me even after I opened it! Grandma and Grandpa sent me the Osmo gaming system. I’ll have lots of time to learn it when winter break starts next week!
It’s officially holiday season! How do you like the new menorah I picked out? The firetruck menorah I had since I was a baby fell apart last year, so its successor is a space shuttle!
For the first night, Daddy and Mommy got me a book about football for Hanukkah because I’ve been curious about the rules of the game.
And Grandma and Grandpa got me a calendar of adorable kittens.
How much do I love kittens???
Then for the second night, Grandma and Grandpa got me a book of Lego contraptions.
I jumped around while Daddy got the box of Legos open. Thank you for the gifts everyone!
Finley is the best kitten ever! He’s a big mischief maker and we never know what he’s going to do next. I love playing with him and watching him do all of his crazy things.
I went on my first camping trip! We headed west to Powder Creek Ranch in the Shiloh Valley. I loved the creek immediately and spent most of the afternoon there.
Next thing you know, it was time to start a fire. I collected kindling around the campsite and Daddy got the fire going.
Then I spotted a deer who came for a snack from the nearby apple tree!
On our first night, we had chicken sausages for dinner, cooked on our propane stove.
Once it got dark, it was time for bed. But then we woke up to this beautiful view of our creek.
We went for a walk around the ranch to look for farm animals – and we found them!
When we got back, it was time for an oatmeal breakfast. A bunch of moths were sleeping on our picnic table. I gently poked one and it fluttered away.
I loved this hill and rolled down it on my skateboard, dubbing it “The Campsite Coaster.”
Then it was time to wade in the creek again. My goal was to walk all the way to the Nestucca River, but the rocks were too slippery to make it. Also, the water was cooooooold!
For lunch, we had ramen cups. They were good!
And then it was time to make a fire again. We had a lot of firewood, so we got it started early.
For our second night, we made pie iron pizzas on the fire.
And s’mores, of course!
It was super fun and I’m already thinking about where I want to go camping next summer!
