Memories from Today:

Woke up this morning and headed to church!  It was great to see my friends again... I missed them last week while I was at Grandma's.

After church, we went to Panera for warm soup (my choice) since it was so super cold!  Brrrr!!!

After lunch, we came home and relaxed a bit.  Mommy even had a little nap while I watched tv a little.

Daddy and I played my Lego Harry Potter Wii game while Mommy went grocery shopping.

I was super excited when I realized that tonight was New Year's Eve.  Mommy made bags for me again this year.  Each bag had something for me or something for us to do together.  We painted my nails, played Go Fish, ate snacks, watched a show of my choice, and got decked out for New Year's!  I had no issue staying awake until midnight.

Memories from Today:

Woke up and Mommy and Daddy were already packing. I asked them once again if I could stay with Grandma and Grandpa, but they said it was time to go home.

We stopped on the way out of town and picked up hot Krispy Kreme Donuts. They were delicious! We also stopped at a local Cemetery to see a friend of Mommy and Daddy's. We left pennies on his tombstone. It was snowing when we left town, but we quickly drove out of the snow.

When we got home, I helped Tini open her gift. I had bought her a toy at my school's Santa shop. We played and played with it and I think she was glad we were home.

After dinner, we relaxed on the couch. The animals laid close. I guess they have really missed us. I think everyone is glad that we are home.

Memories from Today:

Woke Mommy up in the middle of the night.  Ended up spending the rest of the night in bed with her. 

Once everyone was up and ready, we headed towards Dayton to visit family.  Grandma, Grandpa, Mommy, and I had a nice ride there.  I got to play with Vida and Gary's dog, Teddy.  I ate four helpings of soup... it was delicious!  Once Vida's Grandson arrived, we played with his toys.  It was fun and I was very patient.

The entire trip home from Dayton was slow and snowy!  I was so good and patient since it took way longer than we had expected due to snowy roads.  I entertained myself with the iPad (especially my Hot Wheels game) and playing the color game with Mommy and Grandma. 

I want to stay another week with Grandma and Grandpa, and am disappointed that can't happen since I have school in about 5 days.  Boo!  I guess we are heading home tomorrow.

Memories from Today:

Had a lazy morning at Grandma and Grandpa's this morning. Did get Mommy and Grandma to play my I Spy game with me.  It was great!

After a late breakfast (not my first), we got ready and went to Books a Million.  I got a gift card from there for Christmas so I was super excited!  After Mommy talked me out of getting a dozen Hatchimals eggs, I spent a lit of time looking around.   There were lits if great books, but I decided a pink stuffed bunny would be perfect. My next choice was a RC robot (Mommy said no) so I finally chose a book and another small mystery toy.

Back at Grandma's, Mommy and I made up a new game with my nerf dart launcher... we put numbered pieces of paper in the Christmas tree then tried to get the darts to stay in the tree.  It was fun but challenging. 

Mommy, Daddy, and I continued our Monopoly game from a couple of days ago... it started getting tricky as more houses were added.   I ended up having to sell back some houses and properties, but I'm still in the game!  We had to pause the game again to get ready for dinner.

I enjoyed a long bath with random toys (mostly from my tea party set).  I loved it!  Played a little more with the dart launcher and Mommy's iPad before bed.  Can't wait to see more family tomorrow!

Memories from Today:

Stayed in bed until I heard someone awake in the house. Ate breakfast, watched a little tv, and hung out with Mommy until others woke up.  Mommy and I completed a page in my scavenger hunt book.  It was tricky!  We also found the lady few gems that were hiding in the rock from last night.

Grandma and I went to Chuck-E-Cheese. We shared a pizza and played lots of games.  We stumbled upon a machine that was spitting out lots of tickets... We waited to see if anyone came back for them but they didn't.  We decided that it would be kind to share them with all the kids that were there. We gave them out in strips of 10 tickets.  I think I was more excited to be giving to others than they were to receive it.  One parent even bought me a lollipop for being so kind.  Grandma and I still ended up with plenty of tickets to get some cool prizes like pink vampire teeth and a nerf dart launcher.

The whole family met Dave for dinner at the Mexican restaurant. Mommy and I played memory while waiting for our food. The food was delicious,  especially the fried ice cream!

After dinner, Daddy added some music to my mp3 player. I listened to it and danced and entertained everyone!  I love having my own tunes!

Memories from Today:

Woke up close to 9 and ate two breakfasts and a snack before noon!  We relaxed most of the morning at Grandma's.

I made bracelets, necklaces, and pins in WVU colors for the mountaineer bowl game.  I got out my pom-poms but there wasn't too much to cheer for during the game.

We drove to Ona to visit Pawpaw Randall.   It was a nice visit and I even got to play with their granddaughter, Ellie, while we were there.  It was fun!

Back at Grandma's, we ate Lorobi's pizza (yum!).  Mommy and I played my Simon's Cat card game then we started hammering and chiseling to find gems in my kit that I had gotten for Christmas.   I found 7 of the 11 gems before bed.  I can't wait to finish finding the rest tomorrow!

Memories from Today:

Woke up from a bad dream early this morning and decided to sleep a little longer with Mommy.

When I woke back up I thought everyone should be awake!  Once everyone woke up, I handed out the stockings to everyone to see what we got!  I was very happy with my loot!

I got a huge bag from Santa (even though I'm not sure I believe in him or not) and couldn't wait to look inside.   I got a new doll with outfit, a hair stylist chair, a DVD movie, a scavenger hunt book, Monster High art kit, and Pokemon puzzle!  I loved it!

After pancakes for breakfast, we opened the presents under the tree.  There seemed to be a theme of science, games, and music to most of my gifts. My favorites were monopoly, gamer monopoly, gem mining kit, mp3/mp4 player, and my very own guitar!!! 

Mommy, Daddy, and played Monopoly for a while before dinner... our game will have to continue later. Mommy and Daddy were impressed by my math skills while I was the banker during the game.   When we took a break from the game, I helped Grandma make fresh bread for dinner. It turned out delicious!

After dinner, Alice and I worked on my scavenger hunt book together.  Later in the evening,  Daddy and I made a fort and played one of my new card games in the fort.  It wad awesome!

Memories from Today:

I woke up excited that it was Christmas Eve. I ate cereal, watched a little TV, and then got dressed for church. I always get excited to go to Grandma's church. As we pulled into the church driveway, I made Mommy and Grandma giggle by saying, "there's a lot of squirrel nest in them trees" in the most southern accent I could come up with.

People at church thought I looked super cute with my beautiful red dress and my brown cowboy boots. I knew I looked cute!

After church, we came home, ate lunch, change clothes, and then went to do a last minute Christmas shopping at the mall. While we were there, I got to play a few claw games, I got to ride the train, and I even got to play in the playground that is there.

Back at Grandma's house, we ate one of my favorite pasta meals and then I worked on building and decorating my gingerbread house. It was a lot of fun and I think I did pretty well considering I was distracted by the television. The neighbor ladies even came over to see my beautiful work.

I was excited to open my Christmas Eve box even though I know it's always in there. My PJs this year were super cute and soft. The pants were just a little bit too long, actually a lot too long.

I can't wait for tomorrow!!!
