Busy December Days

We were both in pictures and in the first one Alfred said, "Cheeseburger!" and in the second one he said, "Spaghetti and Meatballs!" That's what he said. I asked Santa for a 12 footed robot. I asked Santa for a Hershey's big bar and an orange.

I'm making this gingerbread guy. I didn't like the dark blue jelly bean.

I'm making a red and green gingerbread guy. We were doing it where we got to visit Santa and the place where Open Gym is held.

This is a picture from the snow day we had, luckily. I was waiting for a snow day from school. Finally, I got one. That's when we were out in the snow. I love it! We're behind a hill in partly our yard, partly the neighbor's yard.

This is a picture from the gingerbread party. Mine is the one which says "Shack O' Fun" and you probably know that because you can hardly see my blondish hairdo right near it. Lydia made the one that says "Ho-Ho Manor" and Riley's has an "R" on it I don't think you can see because it's not in the picture.
Christmas morning has finally come! Yeah, I liked it when I got that big Hershey's bar. And stuff. And stuff.

Sebastian, did Santa bring what you asked for? No. Grandma did. One of my favorite presents is my name made of wood. I put it on my bass drum. And I'm gonna keep it there when I'm drumming in the band. One of my favorite things is for the whole family: a chocolate orange. And it's cool that I really got what I wanted: a book called "The Christmas Cat"-- it's not what I wanted, but I like it. Daddy got something that is really cool-- chewy, double-flavored Lemonhead and friends. Dorian got a deep diver. I just love Christmas. It's one of my favorite holidays.

Christmas is special

I love you! I love Christmas presents. We're about to open presents. It's Christmas! It's Christmas, ho ho ho!

I'm Santa, and I'm giving out presents.

I'm the Thing from Fantastic 4. The costume came from Santa. There was a note that said, "What you asked for when we were talking wouldn't fit inside your stocking. Look under the tree for a picture of me. Love, Santa" And I saw the one and only present that was near me with a picture of Santa on it. Inside there was not one costume, there was two! I got another one called a "Honey Bunny" but it was missing only the bunny ear headband.


We're wearing our sledding things. We're wearing our snowshoes. I thought they were great.

We're making a snowman.

We went to Panasian for lunch. And I discovered that my tooth was loose. It was actually 2 teeth that were loose. And they were right next to each other. And they were wiggling!

December specials

Whether you've been naughty or nice, have a very happy holiday!

Look at us. We're very cool. See us?

Merry Christmas! I hope you get all you want!

Gingerbread houses

Lydia and Riley came to our gingerbread house making party. But Davy didn't come. That was too bad. We used candy spearmints; red, white and green stars; little, curvy tubes of licorice; some lifesavers; Necco wafers; pretzels; cookies; and we put gingerbread men on.

I ate it all up! I ate part of my gingerbread house. It was yummy! Riley and Lydia and Dorian had some interesting ones that I would've made but I didn't want to put on the candies that made it interesting.

Today is 6 days 'til Christmas

We made a Xmas tree, a Xmas tree, a Xmas tree! I love the lights on our Xmas tree! La la la laaaaa!

We're decorating the tree. My favorite decorations were, let's see, the silver sun, the plastic ball with a circular picture of me when I was little in it, but what I liked most of all was the star at the top of the Xmas tree.

The gold blue ball that was gold and the springy dancers and the big star. 'E end.

I'm putting on the big gold balls.

I love Dorian's little face. It's cute, isn't it? I got the green Santa stocking, Dorian the light blue Frosty, Mama the dark blue Xmas tree, and Daddy, lastly, the red sparkle snowflakes.

We're making some mittens to hang up in the decoration room that has the 2 Xmas trees and the colored window lights.

I made a mitten. I liked to put on the mittens the glue. Our decorations are so beautiful. We used letter stamps, glitter glue, origami paper, sequins, colored cotton balls and even blank ones. We used a lot of stuff. Didn't we? Did I mention that we also used stickers? And Grandma came over to visit to decorate also.

Photo shoot

We had the opportunity yesterday to model in a photo shoot for a local artist/illustrator who has been commissioned to paint a picture that will become a jigsaw puzzle. It will be a Victorian street scene at Christmas time.

I have this on. I have my buttons on. Oh yes, I do. I am Dorian.
Oh no, look at Bastian-- he took his hat off.
Tim and Dorian's take Tim's hat off. Look at Tim!

Sebastian is declining to participate today. He and Dorian each posed on Tim's shoulders. Sebastian also posed peeking out from behind John's legs. And Sebastian and I were carolers in another scene. It will be interesting to see the finished product.

Guess what I got? A color lab chemistry set!

Here is all the stuff. I had a chemistry set in a present from Grandma. I had caps, test tubes, paint trays, tubs, and little droppers.
Look what I did! I'm making beautiful colors. I put in the colors later some little tiny, clear crystals. That made the paint and the crystals into squishy crystals. Squishy squashy! Squashy squishy!
Look! I put some tablets into some milk and the tablets had a powder inside them that was colored. See, the colors were red, yellow, and blue. They all mixed. And I liked those experiments!

I have a snowman there!

There's a snowman. I open it. It's for all me.
I open my book and throw it away. Tools down there. Peanut butter jam. Pumpkin pie! I like the pumpkin pie! [Makes eating noises.]

Going to Mimi and Papa's

I saw this big icicle! I tried to get it down, but it knocked me on the head. Ouuuuuuuuuucccchhhh!!!
We're at Mimi and Papa's. Look at the Christmas tree! I can't wait to open the presents.
I opened first the stocking. Dorian's opening his, too.
We got a sleeping bag and much more. I'm holding something that is most favorite of mine-- Animusic 2! I can't wait for Christmas Eve again. I mean Christmas Eve Eve. (The 23rd.)
Then, on the porch, what did we do but make a spike town. We just break off icicles, that's what Mama did, and I put them in the snow. Like a stalagmite.
Now we are fast asleep because it is such a long drive. I'll tell you, it's an hour long. It wasn't as long as I thought, though. And we stopped on the way to get gas and a cup of coffee. When we stopped at Game Stop, I woke up. That's what I guess I did. And we got a little DVD or some kind of video game, but I guess it didn't have the disc in it because it said, "Your Wii is on the way!" And Merry Christmas to you all!

Tell me... What is a party, more or less?

We were having a gingerbread house making party today.

Look at all the candies! We had Chex, pretzels, marshmallows, red licorice, gumdrops, gummi Lifesavers, little kinds of disky things [Necco wafers], I also bought Kissables, sort of gummy raspberries and blackberries, Mike and Ikes, mix of bear cookies and bunny crackers, and the final nonpareils. I liked the candies...
...until we were soon making the gingerbread houses. (Decorating.) I invited Riley and Lydia.
I'm decoratin'. I'm dipping in the candies with sugary glue. Then I put them on the house.

Look at Lydia! She's decoratin', too.
That's me and Lydia. [Riley declined to be photographed.] From left to right, Riley's is on the very left, then Lydia's, then mine, and Dorian's. Doesn't my head look a little bit like Dorian's?
Look at DeeDee! He's trying to eat candies!!!!!!!!!

I had a good time. YOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas December 1st Eve

I just like my room! It's decorated! Mama decorated it. I didn't know that she was doing that. And then, I went into my room after Mama said, "Surprise!" And surprise, it was.
This is Santa and Elfred. Santa gave me a lucky candy cane.
I'm sitting on Santa's lap. I talked to him about what I wanted for Xmas. I wanted a golden, real brass trumpet and a toy saw with a toy tool set. [Dorian opted not to sit on Santa's lap.]
I'm pasting a cookie with frosting!!!
I'm decorating it with candies... ...Lydia's with me.
