We had a great Thanksgiving! We went to Washington and spent the first day at Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom’s. I talked with Tom a lot about Pokemon, but also just wanted to hang out in a quiet room and read. We spent the night and went to Papa Ron and Linda’s the next morning. Papa Ron took Ellie and me to Altemueller’s to pick out charms for our bracelets. He was paying for the one I chose out when I found a Harry Potter charm. I told him that the one I chose was ok because returning it would be too much work. Our family went to have dinner at Uncle Mark and Aunt Julie’s. I had fun playing with Chase, and it had been a long time since we had been there. Our family went to the parade with Papa Ron and Linda afterward and headed home later that night. We had Thanksgiving pizza at Papa Rodney’s shop. It was an unusual time, but at least we were together. We decorated our house for Christmas that weekend.
Our family was
asked to read and light the first Advent candle. I really wanted to light the candle, so Dad
helped lighting the candlelighter. I
felt very special.
I haven’t
really wanted to do much this month. I just want to stay home and play on my
iPad. A lot of times I have to have it
taken away from me so I will participate in activities. For instance, Mom was going to go to the
Frankenberg Christmas and Dad and Ellie had to stay behind for volleyball. I just decided I didn’t want to go, and they
didn’t argue with me.
Christmas
activities are picking up! Our family
went to the VU Christmas light display.
We tried the night before, but it was cancelled because of rain. We went to Bass Pro to see Santa
instead. He was funny and I told him
that I wanted a package of Among Us small stuffies and Pokemon Scarlet and
Violet. When we were leaving I felt in
love with a little stuffed animal dog. I
cried the whole way home because I was worried that he would be lonely without
me. Our family also went to my Christmas
concert at Cedar Ridge. I get nervous to
sing in front of people but Mom and Dad said this was part of my class and I
needed to go. It was a good time! Our family went to Ellie’s Reader’s Theatre
for her drama class. They performed Elf
and it was pretty funny.
Ellie had a
volleyball party here and I asked for Avonlea to come over and play. We had so much fun making melty beads. We made one circle with half her favorite
colors and half my favorite colors. I
have been making a lot of melty beads lately (when I can’t be on my screen!)
Our class won a
blanket/fort party for our behavior. I
had a blast reading in the forts. Today
was our last day of school before Christmas break. We had a party, and I had a lot of sugar and
was hyper! I can’t wait for Christmas
and presents!
