Turkey Tastic!

I had an excellent visit to Grammie and Gramps' house for Thanksgiving! Even a cold didn't get me down. At their house I had so much fun singing and dancing in the basement, doing puzzles, watching movies, visiting the library, and peeking into the window of Santa's shop on the diamond. The turkey dinner was delicious - I gobbled it right up! It seemed like a short visit, but we will see Grammie and Gramps very soon because they will be coming to our house before Christmas!
Leading up to Thanksgiving, we kicked off the holiday season by watching the Raleigh Christmas parade from Dad's office. I love going there! Then later that same day after eating my first Chinese food for lunch, I went to one of my favorite friend's birthday party. I had a great time with him and a few of my other friends at the yogurt shop. I'm very excited for the next month and all the festivities and activities coming our way!

Happy Halloween 2017!

Boo! A ghost is what I wanted to be for Halloween, so Mom helped make it happen! For the 45 minutes that my costume stayed on for trick-or-treating, people loved it! However, it got to the point where I couldn't see the candy when picking it out of the bowl and my head got sweaty. So the costume came off and we made our way home. It was okay though, Cora said she couldn't carry her bag of candy anymore. So despite costume malfunctions, dogs at front doors and Mr. Greg being super scary it was a great Halloween Night!
The week before Halloween was fun. I had my school field trip to Three Bears Acres where we played all sorts of outdoor activities and learned about weather. I particularly loved a slide that used sleds with wheels on them. It went super fast and luckily Jason, my partner for the day coerced me to try it with him. Then, that weekend I went to my first ever symphony performance. We watched the North Carolina Symphony perform songs with a Halloween theme and a short play about Peter and the Wolf. I wasn't exactly prepared to just watch people play instruments, but the sound was really cool so I enjoyed the experience.
