Christmas

I had a nice Christmas. I got pajamas for my American Girl doll, and I got pajamas that look just like them for me. I got things for my dollhouse. Pa made me a wooden cupboard for my dollhouse. It's a small version of the one he has at home. I got lots of earrings! And a stencil art kit. And lots of other things.




I like making gifts for everyone. This year I made bath bags and hard candy. I made a few other things like candles, and I sewed a candy cane for Daddy.

We hosted Christmas Eve this year. We had all red, green and white foods. This year we baked gingerbread cookies, shortbread cut-outs and Swedish sandbakkels, and we made peppermint-chocolate bark.

In my last post I forgot to put a picture of us in our church pageant, The Grinch. So here it is.



And here is a picture of me and my friend, Winter, at our ballet show a couple of weeks ago.

The Cousins are Coming

Tomorrow my cousins are coming over, and they are coming over next Monday. We are going to bake Christmas cookies on Monday.

Tomorrow is Julian's holiday musical at his preschool. He's been singing the songs all the time.

Today we are going to make holiday crafts with our friends.

Last Sunday at church we did The Grinch for our holiday pageant. I was a Who. Julian was a mouse, and Kelan was a Who, too.

Mini-mini golf course

I am making a mini-mini golf course. It is really fun. We are finishing them today. We are using marbles for golf balls. I have a lake in mine. I just had a google chat with Uncle Eric. It was neat.

Ice Skating

Today I am going ice skating with Locke. It is his sister's birthday party. But I am allowed to go and play with him. He is coming here to spend the night after skating.

Sleepover

Tomorrow I have a slumber party at Winter's house. We are going ice skating first. We might make our own ice cream sundaes! Today we are going to our friends' house to make Christmas crafts. I'm going to be in the pageant at our church on Sunday. We are doing The Grinch this year, and I'm going to be a Who.

My Gingerbread House

I went to the Duquesne Club with Grandma and made a gingerbread house. We put lots of candy on it, and almost everything was edible. I like the little pine tree outside of the house.



Yesterday our neighbor gave us a big bag of dress-up clothes. I found this headband with orange ponytails and put it on Julian, and we put a dress and apron on him. I thought it was very funny.



Last night we got our Christmas tree at Soergel's. We might set it up tonight. Last night we watched Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Today we are going to make holiday gifts with friends.
