This morning we went to Grandma and Granddaddy's house. I got to play with lots of toys while my brothers watched Despicable Me 2. Then Finn and Kai did some dishes and then played with cars and planes and read books. It was a fun day!

















Then when we got home, Mama went to dinner with Nana, Papi, Auntie Nay Nay, Rita and Tori while we got to hang out with Daddy. All the guys and Lucy were hanging out! We played soccer, we ate a great dinner, we played with cars, we took a bath. And then Finn and I attempted to sleep in my bed together...I'll let you know how that went in the morning!

This morning was back to the regular schedule and back to school. We all took Kai to school and when we got home little Jax enjoyed chomping on a pear. Then we got a surprise, quick visit from Papi while I ate some snacks and watched a show. Then Mama let me color with markers while she did some cleaning and tried to get the rest of our Christmas decorations up. That made me sad but Mama said that Christmas will come again next year...













It was a really nice day today. We got to play outside at school and then when Mama came to pick me up we got to run around in the courtyard for a little while too! When we got home I helped my little brother Finn get his shoes and socks off. He's a good little brother but sometimes he just needs his big brothers help!  Later Mama put my ice skates on and we practices falling down and getting back up on the rug. Then we all played together before we had a super yummy dinner, got our hair cut and then headed to bed. It was a good day!













               

Today we got to hang out around the house. Play games, read books, play with our millions of toys. Then Mama went to book club and we got to do some hanging out with Daddy. We were so lucky to have a surprise visit from MeMaw and PopPop too! Daddy didn't take any pictures today so this is all we've got...

This morning was my very first ice skating lesson! I was so excited. Everyone came with me. Mama got my hockey skates on me and I met my instructor and she went over some things before we headed out onto the ice. Then mama and I started our class. I did a lot of practicing falling down and getting back up. I learned to put my hands on my knees when I felt like I was losing my balance and to put my arms out to my sides to stay steady. I've got a lot of work to do but I think I'm going to do really well. Practice makes perfect!

























After Kai's skating class we went home for lunch and a rest. When we woke up it was time to get ready and head out to meet our friends for a special, fun dinner! We got to go to Benihana for the first time. It was so neat to watch the chef cook all of our food right in front of us. He did lots of tricks and played with all of our food! He even made a volcano out of onions. It was delicious. The best part was the strawberry ice cream at the end! And when Daddy let Kai, Leighton and I run around with him in the empty bar area. We sure did have a great time with our friends!!!

Today Mama gave me some yummy avocado and I got to jump for joy in my jumperoo when I ate it! Then Kai and I got a fun surprise when Papi stopped by to see us in between jobs! We were so happy to see him because I haven't seen him in a very long time!







Then I kept practicing my attempt to crawl. I'm almost there...







When Daddy got home we did some serious playing. We put on every costume, hat, cape, glasses, sword, weapon we could find to do some serious battles. We were protecting the princess (The Incredible Hulk) from the evil villian (Daddy). We had tons of fun!!

              

               

               







               

Today was a fun day at home! I got to do a lot of time on the floor practicing my crawling. I haven't moved forward yet but I sure am revving up a lot. If only I could just move one hand or one knee forward they say I'll be "crawling". But for now, I'm just exercising...











Mama kept us busy all day today in the house and it sure was fun! After breakfast and a little iPad time, Mama got the dining room all set up and we did some serious painting! I think we've got some real masterpieces here. Kai and I also made sure to get paint all over our hands and some on our faces towards the end of our painting session. It was so much fun. Thank goodness paint is washable!









Then we got to watch some Tom and Jerry with a little snack, we made a fort out of couch cushions and a blanket and then when Finn and Jax were sleeping, Mama and I made brownies to take over to Nana and Papi's house for Great Grand Papi's going away dinner. We got to hang out with our family and eat dinner and play and say goodbye to Grand Papi. I hope we get to see him again soon. Maybe we'll go visit him in Ecuador!

Today was Daddy's Birthday and he took me to school this morning. That made me really happy. When Mama, Finn and Jax came to pick me up we got to run around outside for a little while. Mama put my hat on baby Jax to keep him warm while we played for a little while. Then, when my little brothers were sleeping I got to help Mama make a Birthday cake for Daddy!

              

               











When I woke up from my nap I got to help Kai and Mama put icing and sprinkles on Daddy's Birthday cake. It was so much fun. And so delicious! When Daddy got home we got to eat his special birthday dinner. It was yummy. Then we got to help Daddy blow out his birthday candles and eat his cake. It was a great day!!!
