SANTA CLAUS

The Autism Society of Oregon set up a sensory-friendly Santa experience. No music or camera flashes! (They GET me).

Still, there was no way I was going to look at the camera lady. (You can’t just trust a total stranger.)

Instead of asking for toys, I got down to the important business of asking Santa what airlines he’s been on. He said North Pole Airlines. What?? Never heard of that one…and I’ve heard of ’em all.

I also let him know all of the roads we drove on to come see him.

Then it was off to the craft table to make a cool ornament. Thanks, Santa!

ZOOLIGHTS

Yesterday, we went to the Oregon Zoo to see their annual Christmas light extravaganza, ZooLights.

But first…had to check out this awesome bridge! (I love bridges.)

Then it was time to hit the carousel, one of my favorites.

It finally got dark enough for the lights to turn on…

Then on to my other favorite – the zoo train!

Added bonus: Supermoon!

TIN SHED

We went up to Portland yesterday to peruse neighborhoods for when we maybe one day possibly move there.

While we were there, we had lunch at the Tin Shed, where we met up with Aunt Lisa and Uncle Ryan last year.

I was super excited to fly there like an airplane!

But then we waited. A long time. For a table.

But Chubs was really happy because he loves coming out with us!

KIDNEY VISIT

I went back to Doernbecher to visit my nephrologist for a routine follow-up. Everything looks good! I’ll go back in six months to visit the gang.

Then I got to the important work of taking the tram! I was so excited, I had to run the whole way there.

OREGON ZOO

Yesterday, we went to the Oregon Zoo. I’m not exactly…a fan of animals. They kind of scare me. But I was super brave and went anyway.

And rode on a train and a carousel!

POWER NAP

This picture was taken after going to the pool for 2 hours, a lunch out, Legos @ The Library, and snack in the car while playing iPhone games – and before I ran up our street pretending to be an airplane in flight and (while Mommy was trying to cook dinner) exclaiming, “Mommy, play with me!”
