Celebrations!

Decembers are always full of different celebrations - birthdays, Christmas, holidays!

First it was Clare's birthday party at Catch Air with Elsa!

Then it was Gabi's birthday party!

Maggie, Gabi's sister and I helped her blow out her candles!

A dinosaur even made an appearance at the party! 

Lots of my friends from school were at the party (with the dinosaur)!

At school we had birthday celebrations with doughnuts!

Then we had our holiday sing at school!  We wore our most festive attire!

Here I am with Chelsea and Maggie!

These were our silly faces!

Another day at school we had a holiday celebration in our pajamas!

Here are two of the songs we sang at our holiday sing!  Look for me in the middle of the back row by one of my teachers - I have my Christmas hat on!

The Grinch!

We had a fun breakfast with a special guest - the Grinch!

He was a little skinny, a tad creepy, but still was fun to meet the Grinch! 

They had lots of the Smallville characters to pose with! 

Here I am with the Grinch!  I told him what I wanted for Christmas just in case!

We even got to build some ornaments!

We found the biggest cup of hot chocolate ever!

Holiday Spirit!

Holidays are always fun - lots of activities, family, friends, treats!

Bobby the Elf always helps to start off the holidays!  Bobby make sure to wish me well after I sprained my elbow riding my skateboard.   

Bobby the Elf always shows up in funny places to keep an eye on us!

Nothing better than Santa to get in the holiday spirit!

Clara got brave this year and sat on Santa's lap!

We brought our lists to read Santa and told him how good we've been!

The Christmas tree at GP Center is always fun to see!  I miss getting to see it, but Clara got one more December of it!

Gingerbread House!

My friend Ollie invited me to join him making my very own gingerbread house!  It was amazing - more candy to choose from (and eat) than I could have imagined!  

I had a plan to make sure every part of the house was covered!  Mom helped put the glue (frosting) on based on my instructions.

I might have eaten 1 or 2 pieces of candy...

Here's my finished product!

And here's Ollie and I with our helpers!

The event had a beautiful tree so we couldn't leave without some pictures!

Ollie and I living our best lives - a beautiful, sunny day by a fire, drinking Shirley Temples!

We left my decorated gingerbread house untouched until after Christmas - it was an awesome decoration!

A view from the other sides!  The snowman was Mom's idea, but everything else was mine!

Thanksgiving Picture Fun!

We got into the holiday spirit this year with our family pictures!

The cabin had a cool American flag that made a fun background for pictures!

A big hug for Mom and Dad!

We're not too big yet for Dad to turn us upside down!
