Christmas 2011

Merry Christmas! Don't let my serious expressions fool you, I had a great day...

My story

I told Mommy I wanted to write a story about something I wanted to do. I asked her how to spell the words and I wrote it by myself so I wouldn't give away the surprise ending.

Sam, Ben, Mommy, Daddy...

...Papa, Grammy, Grandpa, Buela ("Buela" is a little backwards here)...

...Abby, Andrew...

...Cody...

...Carly...

...Go...

...to the farm. (Yeah, it looks like "rap" but trust me, the farm is way more fun. See the squiggle on the right? That's a number 2. The "P" looking thing is actually an "F". So part of "farm" is backwards and the "M" is on the top. I am still working on lining up my letters correctly, but I am really good at writing!)

Sam's Quote of the Day

"I'm happy at you, Mommy."

Gingerbread Yum

My Moose

I made this plate at school. It's my footprint made into a moose!

Elf on a shelf

This is our elf. He watches us to make sure we're good and reports back to Santa every night.

When we first got him, we had to give him a name. I suggested "Fangs". Ben suggested "Sensei Wu". We debated for awhile and finally landed on "Rajah".

I prefer to call him "Rajah Fangs Rader".

Every day when we wake up, we run around the house and try to find Rajah. Today he was up on the kitchen curtain!

Santa Breakfast

Ben and I went to a special pancake breakfast at his school last weekend.

We ran into this guy. Who knew!
