Daddy and mama went to a Christmas party and miss Carly came to play with us at our house. We ate a good dinner, then had popcorn and hot cocoa. We were playing games when Bella started throwing up. Daddy and mama came home to take care of her. I felt bad for Bella that she was sick. The next week was my last week of school before Christmas break. The school had a Christmas program that I sang in on Tuesday night. We had polar express day on Friday and we got to wear our pajamas to school. We had an assembly first thing and I was awarded student of the month! I was surprised and so excited, daddy mama and Bella were even there because they knew already:) mama just stayed and helped with my class party. We made reindeer food, frosted cookies, and played games. In the afternoon, we watched the polar express movie. That afternoon after school, I lost my very first tooth! The tooth fairy came and took my tooth, but left five dollars! That weekend mama worked in Roseburg and we stayed home with daddy. I got the stomach bug early on Sunday morning and woke daddy up because I was throwing up. It lasted 12 hours and I felt terrible. Bampa and lala still came down to see us, and got here a little bit after I was feeling better. I played a lot of uno with bampa and we opened our Christmas gifts from them too. I got an awesome ninja line and we put it up just behind the house. Daddy and mama also got us our very own hot pool and got it all hooked up and filled up while bampa and lala were here. We sat in it and it even has music and lights. I can't believe it is ours forever, I don't think I want anything else for Christmas now! Bampa and lala helped us each build our own forts and they are so cool. We went out for dinner, but they had to leave the next morning. On Thursday, we had to go to the dentist, but as soon as we got home, it friends came over for a Grinch party. Miss Audra made Demian and I bow ties to match the girls dresses. We had Grinch sandwiches, popcorn, juice and jello. We played pin the heart on the Grinch, then put on our pajamas to go see Christmas lights in Medford. We watched the Grinch on the way there, then walked down two streets that had the most beautiful lights. We saw the Grinch and Santa Claus, it was great! We watched the rest of the Grinch on the way home! We bought lots of gifts for two different families with kids from my school. Bella and I helped wrap all of the gifts and we delivered them a couple of days before Christmas. We went to miss Tami's on Saturday night for dinner, a movie and fun with or friends. We ended the night with a good dance party. They even got me a five minute star wars story book, I love it! Day and mama did and ugly sweater workout at the gym on Christmas eve and we cheered them on. After nap we went to Christmas eve service and we sang in front of the whole church. We sat in the hot pool after dinner and looked for Santa in the sky. We put cookies and milk out for Santa and spread our reindeer food out in the lawn before reading The Night Before Christmas and going to bed. Bella woke me up on Christmas morning about 5:15 and Santa came to our house and filled our stockings and brought me a light saber! I got some awesome stuff in my stocking, but my favorite is a prank can of jelly beans. When you open it, 2 long snake springs jump out. It is so silly. Daddy and mama got me my very own kayak, a Simon game, some clothes, Nerf car shooter and a rug with roads to play cars on. Mama made us reindeer pancakes and bacon before daddy had to go to work (on Christmas).:( papa and grandma came to see all we got for Christmas and sat in the hot pool with us. We played some uno before they left, then went to the fire station to have chicken pot pie with daddy for dinner. I took my jelly bean prank and used it on Mr George and Allan a bunch of times! We watched the lion king movie we got for Christmas and headed home. On new year's eve, we went to the Oppelt's house for dinner and to watch fire works. They were loud, but super cool!

I had fun with miss Carly until I got sick, then I wanted my mama. I the up all night long and I was so tired. Mama stayed home with me on Monday and I skipped swim class. I went to Jace's school program to watch him sing. I also got to go to his assembly to watch him get an award. We are very proud of him! I was sorry he was sick the next weekend, but was so excited that bampa and lala still came to visit! They got to come see me swim and for Christmas they bought me a baby alive doll and high chair. It has diapers and two matching outfits with me. I got new clothes too! I had fun building my fort, but got a little cold. I was very excited for our Grinch party, I couldn't wait to wear my Grinch dress and purse. Mama practiced doing Cindy Lou Who Who hair, but I didn't end up doing it for the party. I didn't want to give the Grinch a hug the first time we saw him, but then I got out of the wagon to hug him:) I enjoyed delivering presents to kiddos on Friday and had fun playing and dancing at miss Tami's. I got a five minute princess story book that I am enjoying! Daddy looked super silly for the ugly sweater workout and I dressed really pretty for my performance at church. I sprinkled the reindeer food in the yard in my pajamas on Christmas eve, but I still thought I was going to maybe see them and Santa when they came. They did come while I was sleeping and filled my stocking and brought me a baby stroller. I was so excited! I also got a new kitchen, the hungry hippos game, and two Nerf guns that I asked for:) I played the jelly bean trick on papa and grandma a bunch when they came and we also played hungry hippos with them. I was glad to go visit daddy at the station and was super sleepy when we got home. I had lots of fun at the Oppelt's party, there were lots of kids there. I didn't like the fireworks at first, but just when I started enjoying them, they were gone. I can't wait to do it again:) Goodbye 2017, what a fantastic year!
