Happy Birthday, Xavi!

This is my friend, Xavi. He turned 3 on December 3rd! We celebrated at his birthday party....brr... it was cold, but we had so much fun!

This is Xavi's sister, Ivy and Daddy, Mark.

Yum! Cupcake!

And, we saw Grisel, Jeff and Connor. Connor and I made all kinds of crafts. I also jumped and jumped in the bouncy house.

Baking Cookies with Daddy

Venice Canal Bridge Lighting Party

Tonight, we had friends over before going to the bridge lighting party on the Venice Canals. Above is Melese with his Mama and below is Meazi with her grandma on the way to the canals.

Shortly after we arrived, the bridge was lit!

And, then we enjoyed the rest of the party. There was music and songs and Meazi and Zoe danced with me on the couch!

Mama thought we looked like we had been drinking (and not milk!) Did someone pour us some of that mulled wine? Or, was it sugar overload??

We then did a little off the couch dancing with Michael.

What a fun evening! Next weekend is the boat parade!! Can't wait.

Gymnastics Saturday

Today, at gymnastics class, I tried something new. I climbed all the way up this wall all by myself! I had so much fun today and Mama and Daddy were rewarded with a 3 hour nap.

Mama's Birthday and More

Tuesday was Mama's Birthday. Nanny G helped me make this for Mama. We put it right on the front door for when she came home from work. We also put flowers all over the house. Mama was surprised! When Mama came home from work, I ran up to her and said "Happy Birthday, Mama" (ahhh....Mama melted). We went for a quiet dinner out....so quiet that I fell asleep (at 7). I had about two bites of my burger. Mama had a delicious lobster roll....hard to find them here in LA.

Here are a few pictures from school on Friday.

Then, on Friday night, we went over to Abbot Kinney/First Friday. We didn't go into the toy store because Santa was there and it was a mad house. But, we bumped into Zoe and Michael who had just come out from a visit with Santa.

We walked with them back toward the restaurant where we were going to have dinner to celebrate Mama's birthday again with Auntie Peri. I kept saying "I want to see her. I miss her" (about Auntie Peri). Unfortunately, our dinner reservation was at 7:30 and I fell asleep in my stroller at 7!! Luckily, our table had a couch as part of it and I was very comfortable for dinner.

Our Family Thanksgiving Photo

Home again home again....Baby Lucy!

Our flight left two hours late so we had a little time to kill in the airport. We visited with Snow White, one of my new BFFs....and Mickey Mouse

We finally got home at 6 pm and I gave both Mystic and Camille big welcome home hugs. Then, I went to bed! I was tired. Up at 5 am. Ugh for Mama and Daddy. Asleep by 6:05 tonight, too.

Today, I met Baby Lucy, Zoe's new 3 day old baby sister. I loved her. While Mama was putting me to sleep, she asked me if I wanted a baby sister or brother and I told her "Yes". Daddy and Michael took me and Zoe to the Santa Monica Pier this afternoon. We went on the carousel, an airplane ride and the Ferris Wheel. So much fun!

Thanksgiving Weekend Fun!

On Tuesday, Chelsea went back to Tampa and Alex came to visit....and then the whole Goldstein/Spiegler clan came on Wednesday. Here I am with Cousin Stephanie!

And, at the pool with Mema and Pepa!

I kept asking Pepa to push me into the pool and Grandma caught me.

There was a "maze" for kids in the activity center. Early in the morning, big people were allowed to come in to help little people like me. I always dragged Grandma in with me.

At the activity center, I made a pine cone turkey (with a little help from Mama)

Here is part of our untraditional Thanksgiving dinner. Stuffed pork loin....

I would say "yum!" but I slept starting at the beginning of the meal for 3 hours (it was 4 pm and I hadn't napped all day). I slumped in my chair and asleep I was, bib and all.

On the day after Thanksgiving, I went to lunch with Mema, Barbara, Ron and Stephanie and we fed the fish and saw a turtle. Fun!

Then, Daddy let me have the cupcake he bought me for Thanksgiving. I insisted on having a "candle" to celebrate Mommy's birthday early.

And, on our last night together, we went to Karaoke Night at the pool bar. Everyone had fun. Mama and I sang "Twinkle, Twinkle" and Mama sang "Bohemian Rhapsody". Michael sang many songs, including "I'm too sexy..." He was funny!
