Christmas Cookie Cutter Cookies!

We had fun making Christmas cookie cutter cookies a few weeks ago! Mommy mixed up the dough for us and then she helped us roll it out and cut out cookies with cookie cutters. Then the fun part came - we got to decorate them! It was a lot of fun decorating the cookies with lots of different colors and sprinkles. Daddy even helped us decorate some cookies and he did a really good job!

Presents For Mommy!

My school had a Holiday Store where the students got to go shopping for Christmas gifts. Mommy gave me some money to go shopping with so I got her a present! It was really cool because I shopped after I ate my lunch one day and then the people at school wrapped the present for me. I brought it home to Mommy and had her open it right away -- I couldn't wait until Christmas for her to open it! It was a picture frame that says "family is everything." I knew she'd like it because Mommy really likes pictures and putting them in frames around our house. It was really fun getting her a gift like that!

We Have An Elf!

We have an Elf On The Shelf and her name is Sweetie Pie and I just love her so much! She came to live with us on December 2 and it's been fun to see where all she's ended up each morning. Last year I got the Elf On The Shelf book and loved reading it. This year when we got our Christmas decorations out I was excited to read it again and really hoped we would get our own elf! I really love Sweetie Pie. She's so cute and although she can't talk to me, I like talking to her!

Santa!

Mommy and Daddy took us to see Santa last week. It was fun, but I didn't really want to sit on his lap, so we took a family picture with him instead of me alone with him. I was excited to see him, but was a little scared. After we talked to Santa, I got to write him a letter to tell him, again, what I want for Christmas and I took a fun picture with a nutcracker!

Mann MVP!

Each month my school has a character word that we focus on. At the end of the month our teacher picks someone from our class who has demonstrated that word and they receive an MVP award. My teacher picked me for November and our word was caring! I was so excited to get this award because I tried really hard to be caring to all my friends. It was really neat because I was given the award at our Mann Huddle (what we call assemblies) and I got to say my name into the microphone! It was so cool!  You can listen to me explain it all here!

The Christmas Story

One day at school we had to have recess inside because it was too cold to go outside. I like to color and draw pictures so I asked my teacher for some paper and crayons. I drew a picture of a Christmas tree and a picture of the manger where baby Jesus was born along with Mary, Joseph, the wise men and angels. I also wrote out the story about when Jesus was born. You can listen to me tell the story here.

Mommy And Lucy Day

One day last month I didn't have school, but Molly did, so Mommy and I got to have a Mommy and Lucy Day. It was a lot of fun! First we dropped Molly off and preschool and it was kind of funny because I got to wait in the carline for her at preschool, just like she always waited for me at preschool! That day was election day, so I helped Mommy vote. She let me fill in some of the circles on the voting card, so that was pretty cool!

After that we went to Target and got to look around at all the LOL dolls (which I LOVE) and then we went to Sam's and I got to look at some more toys. Finally we went to a store to buy some Christmas outfits for me and Molly. I ended up getting a really fun elf sweater and a really nice brown winter coat.

It was such a fun day being with Mommy all myself! I sure do love her!

My Fifth Grade Buddy!

Every since the beginning of school I've gotten to hang out with a fifth grader once a week and it's been a lot of fun! My fifth grader's name is Ainsley and I really like her. She comes into my classroom and I get to do fun things with her and my friend, Darby. In the pictures below we were making turkeys and Ainsley helped me write what I was thankful for on my turkey. It's so much fun having a fifth grade buddy!

The Turkey Trot!

I did the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day and had a lot of fun! I was excited to help Mommy pick up our run packet the day before and get my turkey hat! I've gotten one the last few years and think it's so much fun!

Poppy came over really early on Thanksgiving Day to go with us to the Turkey Trot and that was fun that he was there when I woke up! I started off walking, but then decided I didn't want to walk anymore, so Daddy carried me some and I got to ride in the stroller. Mommy also carried me, too.

 I had so much fun doing the Turkey Trot and can't wait to do it again next year!

Reading To Mommy At School

Every Thursday Mommy comes to my school and helps in my classroom. She usually takes some of my classmates out in the hall to work on letters and numbers. I've always thought it would be fun to go work with her, but I've never gotten to. The last time she was at school, though, Mrs. Williams let me go out in the hall and she had me read a book to Mommy. It was so much fun! You can watch me read some of the book here!

Funny Sleeping

One night when Mommy went to bed she found me like this and took a picture. I was asleep and had no idea she was doing that. She showed me the picture the next day and we both laughed because of how my legs were. We couldn't believe I'd fallen asleep that way!

Twinning!

Last Friday I wore my favorite turquoise butterfly dress and one of my best friends, Darby, wore her dress that matches mine! It was so much fun to match her in this dress all day!

Scaring Daddy!

I have a fake spider that totally looks real and I love to scare Daddy with it. He gets so scared and it's really funny! You can watch me scare him here!

Halloween!

I had a really fun Halloween! I got to trick or treat at Daddy's work, carve and draw on a pumpkin, and then trick or treat on Halloween night. It was raining, but I still had fun and got a lot of candy!
