We got up one morning to find an elf on the shelf that Santa must have sent to keep an eye on Bella and I. His name is Buddy and the first morning he wrote us a letter and was hanging from the lights where we eat breakfast. Another morning he was zip lining from the tree on a candy cane, he's kind of crazy like us;) We have been practicing our lines and songs for our school Christmas play. We had a local wrestling tournament and I had lots of people come to watch me. Papa, grandma, Brian, Cyndi, Mr Steve and even my teacher, Mrs Garcia. I pinned all of my opponents and took first place! The next week we dressed up each day in Christmas stuff and my class all wore ugly sweaters for the Christmas play. I had a line from twas the night before Christmas and lots of fun songs to sing. Daddy was off this year to come watch and papa and grandma came too. Friday was pajama day and our Christmas party. We had an assembly first thing and I was student of the month! I got to play reindeer games with some of the teachers and other students. Quinton and I won our challenge. Mama picked us up at lunch time and we headed to Portland. I had a big wrestling tournament the next day, so we stayed at Miss Kate and Mr Ryan's house. We had dinner there and played with Natalie. We built legos, did crafts, watched a Christmas show and Mr Ryan read us a bunch of books before bed. We got up early for weigh in, but Miss Kate got up and made us eggs, toast and oranges so I would have lots of energy to wrestle. Lala and Grace came to watch me wrestle too. I had 5 matches and won 3, lost 2. I didn't place, but I learned a lot! Bella and I slept all the way to Bampa and Lala's house. We played with Grace for a bit, then spent the evening with bampa and lala. We had Christmas with them the next morning when Grace and auntie Leanne got there. I got a swurf board that I can't wait to hang up at home. I also got a popper, and a craft fire engine that I can paint. I also got a gift card that I later used for a hand held game that I can play on long car rides. Lala took us on a train ride to Christmas town. They read us the Christmas story, gave us hot chocolate and cookies and a polar bear from the story was on the train too. When we got to Christmas town, Santa got on the train and have us each a special bell from his sleigh. It was so much fun! We went to eat in Hood river before heading home. Bella and I slept almost the entire drive home and then went to bed and slept all night after we got home!
Bella
I was so excited to see Buddy when he came to our house. I almost touched him before daddy read the letter that said we couldn't touch him or he would lose his magic. One night he ate all of our cookies and another morning, we found him by our gingerbread houses having a tea party with our babies. I learned most of the words to the Christmas songs and motions to the twelve days of Christmas for the Christmas program. We sang a song from the Grinch so I wore my Grinch dress for that night. I wore my ugly sweater another day that week and also dressed up as olaf one of the days. I was proud of Jace for getting student of the month and mama was there for my Christmas party. I had a lot of fun with Natalie and played with Grace the next day at the tournament. Lala played babies with me when we got to her house and read some books. I got a marble tower, a piggy bank that I can paint,a popper and a bouncy ball that I can sit on. I got a gift card too, but I said I already have everything I want, so I'm going to keep it for later. I had so much fun on the train ride and was so excited to see Santa. I didn't want to leave when we finished dinner, but I was asleep within 10 minutes of leaving.
