What a Week

With Thanksgiving over, I still had one more birthday celebration to go. I was the leader at school on Monday and mom sent cookies for my class to celebrate my birthday. I wore a pink cupcake crown. I was excited, except mom was supposed to send cupcakes, so after school she took me to get one at the grocery. Now since my birthday is over, it was time to get in the Christmas spirit!

Mom decorated my room, I have my own small silver Christmas tree with purplish/pink ornaments and lots of stuffed Christmas animals. Although my favorite thing is my wooden Christmas manger, I take it all over the house. We started a new tradition too, we got the book elf on the shelf, and we named our elf Doh-doh, and every morning I am excited to see where he has moved too after his magical trip to see Santa each night. Although, the first morning, he was too tired for the trip, when I came home from school, he had made a big mess, apparently in a rush to see Santa before I got home from school. This morning he was on a shelf in the kitchen and dad and I found him.

We've watched Rudoph, Frosty, seen Santa at the Avenues and went for a carriage ride on a "one horse open" carriage while we sang jingle bells. The horses name was Monkey, how funny. I was so excited when I saw Santa (known as Ho Ho here) walking down the sidewalk; however, I was quite shy when it was my turn to sit on his lap. My buddies and me on the carriage (moms didn't want to be in the picture, but yes a total of 7 people rode on the carriage).

Today we're off to a birthday party and a Christmas party tonight, and hopefully tomorrow we'll get the big tree for the house.
