KENJI’S LAST DAY & HANUKKAH NIGHT 8

I wear my glasses in the morning, and Kenji wanted to see what they were all about. He looks pretty good, huh?

Then he wanted to go outside and blow bubbles, even though it was really cold. Not me!

He loves playing with Daddy…

…And I enjoy cuddling and relaxing.

Then it was time for Kenji to go home. But before he left, he took these pictures of Mommy and Aunt Lisa. Thanks for visiting, Kenji!

In the evening, we celebrated the final night of Hanukkah. That’s a lot of candles!

Grandma and Grandpa got me this cool pedal Go Kart. Thanks for all of the Hanukkah gifts, Grandma and Grandpa!

PLAYING WITH KENJI & HANUKKAH NIGHT 7

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!

KENJI VISITS & HANUKKAH NIGHT 6

Kenji is here!

He wasted no time in touching all of my toys, all before even taking off his jacket.

Kenji got to celebrate the sixth night of Hanukkah with me.

We both opened our presents at the same time.

Kenji got some rainbow scratching paper…

…and I got some metal trains. Kenji drove them on their tracks and I drove them on him!

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!
