I got to play in leaves with Molly and Athena in the last days of fall. It was so much fun to watch them run around and jump in the leaves.
Mom took me a day early to Washington for Thanksgiving while Dad and Ellie went to a Mizzou volleyball game. I enjoyed the extra individual attention. We celebrated at Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's with the whole family on Thanksgiving. We went to Uncle Mark's the day after and I played a TON with Chase! I had so much fun, but I left my enderdragon at his house. I really miss him. We went to the Christmas parade like we had in the past and that was fun. Daddy's family didn't have anything this year. We did briefly celebrate Nana Arden's birthday at Papa Rodney's shop.
The next day, we put up our Christmas decorations and Elmo the Elf came to visit. I am learning about Advent and the real meaning of Christmas at Church and I really enjoy it. We did go visit Santa again at Bass Pro like we used to. He spent a lot of time talking with us. I also had my holiday concert. We sang 3 songs with the 3rd grade. We ended with Frosty the Snowman. I was nervous but I really enjoyed it and got into the dancing and hand motions. Our family also went through the Veteran's United Christmas light display. It was really beautiful! Santa wished us a Merry Christmas to which I replied loudly, "You don't even know my name!" I got scolded for that one! Our Church also had a dinner that we got to go to. I really enjoy going there and all the new people I am meeting.
Our family has been spending more time downstairs. We enjoyed a couple of Christmas movies down there, and decorated gingerbread houses, and wrapped presents. Mom and Dad have also let Ellie and me stay home for a few hours at a time while they run errands. I kind of like the independence. I've said a few funny things this month. I called porta-potties "porter potties."
I have been begging to stay at a hotel lately. I did get to go to Ellie's first volleyball tournament but there was no need for a hotel, unfortunately. I was really patient and pleasant the whole day. I cheered hard for her team and entertained myself when she wasn't playing. Ellie and I giggled a lot on the way to KC and back. There was signs everywhere that said "Mike's got this" and it has become a new family joke.
School just got out today! We had a lot of movies and a holiday party today. I'm so excited for Christmas!!!
