Going crazy!

Someone was walking all over the room at daycare! And it wasn't me!

It's starting...

Lighting the tree at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

This morning mama and dada told me they had a surprised planned for the day. I love surprises!  It usually means something fun!

We loaded everyone, including Tachi, into the van and started driving.  When I woke up we were near Ethan's house!  After a quick stop to pick up lunch, we arrived at Ethan's...except no one was there but Liberty.  Strange...nut then I realized don't need to share the train table! 

After lunch we got back into the car to meet up with grandma, grandpa, uncle jeff, auntie jeanette and ethan. Where? At Six Flags Discovery Kingdom!  I was fascinated by the really, really big roller coaster.  But I decided that I just liked to watch people ride it.

Ethan and I rode the rides in the little kid area. I rode the kiddie roller coaster, flew an airplane and a helicopter, and rode a yellow submarine. Grandpa, Ethan, Mama and I also rode a spinning, hot air balloon ride. Mason even got in the act.  He rode the merry-go-round for the first time! I don't think he liked it very much because part way through, he tried to climb off.

We also walked through a tunnel where we saw sharks and sting rays. I went through the tunnel twice!

There was also a snow hill. I've never seen real snow before. So, we decided to check it out. People were sledding down the hill. It looked like lots of fun, so dada, me, uncle jeff and ethan hopped in line. Mason fell asleep in the stroller, so he missed out.  You snooze; you lose. I loved sledding down the hill. I was laughing the entire time.  I had so much fun that mama and dada are talking about taking me and Mason to a snow park. Anyone want to come with?

If you thought my surprise was playing with Ethan at Six Flags, you're wrong. Turns out uncle Jeff and our family were special guests at the tree lighting ceremony. I got to flip the switch to light the gigantic tree inside the park. How cool is that?! While we watched the singers from the stage, uncle jeff and dada kept reminding me not to touch the switch until it was time. Do you know how hard that was for me?! But I listened!

After the tree was lit, we took a family picture with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. Can you tell that Mason wasn't very impressed or excited about the tree lighting?

Thanks for hooking us up auntie jeanette! I had a great time!

Cordero annual holiday party

This evening we went to the Cordero annual holiday party.  Uncle Ritchie and Auntie Margaret live in a really cool neighborhood where everyone goes all out with the Christmas decorations.  At first, I wasn't too excited about the party.  When dada asked me why, I told him Uncle Ritchie doesn't have any toys.  Easy problem to solve...we packed up my trains to play with there.

Auntie Margaret had a craft table set up.  We made snowmen and snow globes.  Since I didn't know what a snow globe was, she brought one over to the table to show me.  I really liked using the glitter glue to make the snow in my snow globe.  Can you tell which one I made and which one mama made?

We also played a game called a white elephant gift exchange.  It involved picking numbers and then picking a gift based on the number you had.  When it was your turn you could either open a new gift or steal one from someone who already had one.  Since dada had the number 1, I got to open a gift.  It was a hot wheels track!  Super cool!  But I didn't want anyone to steal it.  So anytime someone would show a little bit of interest in it, I'd hold on to it tight or try to hide it behind me.  Luckily no one took it from me and I got to keep it!

I had lots of fun playing trains with Kyden, Sienna, Kaiden and Mason.  That's right there were two Kydens!  Another friend, Nathan, was still too little to play with us.  He was only 3 months old.  But I bet next year he'll be playing along side with us.  Mason had so much fun that passed out before we left.

Thanks for inviting us to the party, Uncle Ritchie and Auntie Margaret!  And thanks to Auntie Mimi for taking the pics posted on my post.

Here comes Santa Claus...

On Friday, Dada and I went on a man date!  He picked me up from daycare and off we went to the mall. (Don't worry, he didn't leave Mason.  Mason was home because he had a fever, but he's better now.) We did some shopping and had dinner.

We also walked by Santa!  As soon as I saw him, I wanted to go see him and tell him what I want for Christmas. Santa and I are old friends. I met him before I was one!  Dada said that we could come back so Mason could meet Santa too.

Well, this morning we headed back to the mall.  I guess lots of other kids had the same idea. There was a long line even before Santa showed up!  He was a few minutes late too...must've been a lot of traffic from the North Pole. 

We waited in line for over 2 hours and finally got to meet Santa.  I spent most of that time at the Disney store with mama.  Mason did great when he met Santa. Not a single tear!
