Seventh Night of Hanukkah and Friends!

Zoe and Lucy came to visit. I have missed Zoe so much since they moved out of town. We used to see each other sometimes 3 days/week since they lived two houses down.

And, her sister is no longer a baby! She turned two last month.

We went to the beach, played in the sand and climbed the rocks before the T family left to visit grandma. They are coming back for New Years!

The Sixth Night of Hanukkah

My friend, Isabel, was over today, while waiting for her grandparents to get in from Chicago. We played and then right before they left, we lit the candles for the 6th night and I opened my stencils.

And, Jordan opened up a phone for the tub.

I used the stencils right away and in the morning. I love them!

The Making of a Dreidel

"I have a little dreidel" that Merrick gave to me....I painted, painted, painted until it was all ready. Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel that Merrick gave to me. When you're dry and ready, then we will play with thee.

Art and Sand Sledding

Yesterday, Mama and I did some art projects with the rocks I collected at my nature preschool. I made "Zoe" and plan to give it to her when she comes and visits in a few days.

In the afternoon, we went sand sledding again. Jordan used his new sled.

And, I tried it, too.

The Fifth Night of Hanukkah

After bath, we lit the menorah and opened up presents. Jordan is running out! He got a tool box to go with his electric drill.

I got some cool new t-shirts. "Girls Can Save the World" and a beautiful fleece.

And, Daddy brought in my new bike from Grandma and Grandpa. I love it! And, so does Jordan.

I rode it around in circles and woke up this morning at 6 am ready to come downstairs to ride my bike. I rode it before breakfast.

And, then convinced Daddy that we were going to have a parade at Penmar Park. I colored invitations and Daddy wrote the words. We then left on my bicycle to deliver the invitations to all of our neighbors.

I carefully placed one in the mailbox of where Zoe used to live. We don't know them, but I think they will want to come to the parade.

And, then I have a special one for Mary (I delivered it, but Mama didn't mention that she isn't here! Oh well, she will have to miss the parade.)

Gymnastics Camp/The 4th Night of Hanukkah

I went to my first of 5 days of gymnastics camp over summer break. Both my friends, Nyla and Jaden, came and we had so much fun.

So much fun that after 3 hours of camp, a picnic and afternoon at the park, I passed out from 4 pm to 6 am this morning.

So, Jordan was left to open up presents and light the candles all by himself.

He scored an awesome drill (Mama bought it after he played with it at m's house).

And, was thrilled to be front and center for the lighting of the candles
