I came around by the afternoon, after I ate, but I cried a whole bunch in the morning.

I’m getting ready for my ski lesson. I am hungry & tired. Lauren spent the night last night & we stayed up a little too late, but more than that, we woke up at 5:15 am. WAY too early!

I walk to school everyday with Dad. Mom took this picture of me on my way with my friend Kaitlyn who came over to play the other morning.

I’m enjoying a day with mom. She & I spend Tuesdays & Thursdays together, but lately, it’s been crazy. Last week, we finally enjoyed our time together again.

I’m helping myself to some yogurt. I’m very independent these days & can do most things all by myself. I still like Mom & Dad’s help from time to time.

We had fun celebrating Hanukkah when we got back from Iowa. I’m lighting the candles (with Dad’s close supervision) on the 7th night.

I built this spy plane. Holly & Finn fit in the back. It’s so cool!

I’m building the White House, with a little help from my dad.

We had a ton of fun in Iowa. Mom quit taking pictures, it seems, after dad left so we’ll just have to tell you about our days. We went up to school to have lunch with our cousins, since they were in school until Thursday, we went to the des Moines bass pro shop, we…

We went to bass pro shop before we left for Iowa with my friend Jen. They have a Santa workshop set up there. I loved the race cars. They were remote control & on a track. They also had remote control monster trucks & this carousel with bears, etc. And it was all free!!
