Christmas was great, I had so much fun. A few present highlights: I got 3 Dog Man books, a Harry Potter Hogwarts Lego set from Santa, and some toilet spray (Clorox Urine Spray) in my stocking. My Grampy also got me a Nintendo Switch and I love playing it with my family.

Hard to imagine anything more magical than the Christmas wonder of a 4.5 year old, especially when Santa delivers the Ariel castle of your dreams... that is taller than you!

Darby had her dance recital this week, this program was ballet focused and she has been begging to wear this white tutu for weeks and weeks. The audience was full of family and friends and our little lady loved the performance, and the roses her Daddy gave her afterwards.

I played "This is Not Jingle Bells" and "I am a Fine Musician" at my first piano recital this week. I was really really scared, but I did it and was really happy. My teacher was very proud of me and gave me a golden trophy.

December is here and so it was time for our annual pilgrimage to see Santa. This year we visited him in the Garden House at Filoli. After many reviews of the Target toy catalog Darby came to her wish, Ariel's castle, and she was all smiles when she told Santa about it! This is the first year that she had no concerns about this Santa guy, but she did opt to sit to his side and give Ewan his lap.

This week I met Santa and I asked him for a Hogwarts lego set. I saw him at Filoli and he was nice.

Today we celebrated K's 40th birthday! After chocolate chip muffins with chocolate frosting Mama and Daddy dropped the babies at school and jetted to Las Vegas to celebrate. Auntie M swooped in to help with Darby and Ewan who spent the evening making gingerbread houses. Darby took a quick break from her construction project to sing "Happy Birthday" to her Daddy one more time... but when he picked her up from school the next day the celebrating was done and she was just pissed it wasn't Auntie there to get her again.

My mom was gone this week and I was really sad. When I miss her we FaceTime and I like to make her laugh.
