Drummer

Take after my Daddy. I drum on any surface. Good thing Santa brought me sticks and Daddy had ear plugs and drums already.

Mystery Manor

The best part about getting an iPad for Xmas is that I can text my Mormor and Uncle, email my NeeNee and send gifts and get help from Mamma and Mormor on Mystery Manor.

Mamma makes them. We help. We decorate some. We eat them!!!

Holiday tradition - more waiting

Okay, it's less bad waiting when we make Lego together. We made a school, cafeteria and playground because we miss our friends so much. 

Holiday tradition - waiting

Okay, this part sucks.

Holiday Tradition - Zoo lights

Last year someone needed stuff from Daddy's car. We're glad they didn't keep up that tradition. But we kept up our tradition of walking around the pretty lights.

At the after school program we celebrated early. It was hard for me to play the games as I was soooo excited about my new Lego!!!!

I love the Equestria Girls. And I become a pony too when I sing and dance. 

Toothless

A week until Christmas AND a visit from the Tooth Fairy. Awesome!

Santa list

I forgot a ton of wishes on my first santa letter. So I've made edits. Including a request for a piano. 

Holiday tradition - Museum trains

This year we actually enjoyed looking at the trains and sets. Instead of running from one thing to the next and only liking the train ride. 

n: Mamma, when you and Daddy were little, like us, did you ride in cars? Or did you have horses?

Holiday tradition - IKEA

Smorgasbord offers so much. Except all I like are the meatballs and dessert.
