Christmas Tree

2017-12-17

This week we went to the visitation for Great-grandma Dorothy on Monday. I got to see lots of my relatives and friends. There were lots of pictures, so I got to see what my family looked like when they were younger and had more hair.

Tuesday we went to the rec center with Lilei, then out for supper with Lilei, Aaron, and Sophia. When we got home, Carol and Mohamed came to visit, and then we put up our Christmas tree.

All done - lights on!

Wednesday I bought an ornament for Great-grandma Dorothy and Daddy and I spent some time drawing.

Our ornament to remember Great-grandma Dorothy. She loved cardinals.

Daddy sketched me while I finishing supper.

Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne came to get us on Friday so Mommy could bake thousands of cookies without us being in the way. We spent the weekend at their house. Saturday we went to the cemetery and then to Dan and Deb's house for lunch and visiting. I played with their dog, Benji. On Sunday we went to see Great-grandma Darlene, Jenn, Brad, and Max all come to see her too.

Everyone at the table: Grandpa Al, John, Katie, David, Grandma Wynne, Dan, Deb, Bill, Denny, Diane, and Milton - I'm in the other room, Daddy took the picture, and Neil, Christoper, Janice, and Jerry weren't there.

After all the visiting, we waited to go home until bedtime for me, and Grandpa Al gave us a ride. I got to play some video games!

And that was my week. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed seeing so many people. Take care! And be good - Santa Claus is coming to town!
