Regardless of what you may think, I HAVE been busy!

One night, Mom and I had a campout on the family room floor. We got to sleep in sleeping bags! Then Dad put up the tent. It smelled all musty though, so I didn't want to play in it very much. Finally, I let Mom take it back down.

After Thanksgiving, we went to Temple Square to see the Christmas lights. My favorite part was seeing the temple!

We're starting a new tradition at our house. Mom got a bunch of Christmas books and wrapped them up. We have them on our coffee table under a cute little tree. Each night, I get to pick out which book we're going to unwrap and read. I'm learning a lot about baby Jesus being born and how to be nice and kind to others.

We got to see Santa at the Clinton City party. He rode there from across the street on a fire truck. I didn't want to talk to him, but he gave me a candy cane. We got to sing fun songs that I love like "Rudolph" and "Frosty the Snowman."

After that party, we went to the ward party. I got to hit pinatas, but I didn't break any open. There were lots of kids and it was hard to get the candy, but Mom and Dad helped me get some. I was walking behind Dad, not looking where I was going, and ran into him. I tripped on his feet and hit my mouth on the floor. My lip was bleeding a lot and it really hurt. Lots of people thought I got hit with a pinata stick.

My friends Brody and Parker came over to shovel our snow. Mom let me go out and help. She gave us all 50 cents and a sucker. We did a good job!

For FHE, we got our tree and decorated it. Dad helped me make a tree out of my Tinker Toys. I've been taking the ornaments off our real tree and putting them on MY tree. It looks "wonderful!"

Dad helped me make a snowman, but then it fell apart.

Mom and I made reindeer cookies and snowman cookies out of Oreos. They were "yummmmy!" I gave some to my next-door-neighbor friends, Sidney and Shannon...or, as I sometimes call them, "Shidney and Sannon."

I told Santa that I wanted a helmet and some friends for Christmas, but now I want skis. Mom said I might not get any because I'm not big enough yet, but I really, really want some so I can ski at the park with her.
