Christmas blog 6 - it's finally Christmas!

Santa stopped by last night while I was sleeping.

Here I am coming out of my bedroom to see what he left.



A great train table! It even has a big drawer to keep trains and other toys in, so they don't get lost.



I had to play with it right away!



Santa also left some presents for everyone else.



Mommy has a funny hat she wears every Christmas that she made when she was a little girl. It says "Elf Jocelyn", which means that she hands out the stockings and presents to everyone. I help her!



This year, I got a new stocking. It is really great and has my name on it! My Auntie Annie made it especially for me. Wasn't that nice of her?



Uncle John got a car for Christmas! Well, sort of. He used to have a car almost exactly like this little model one.



Mommy got some cute pajamas.



I got lots of other great presents. A backpack...



a cute Lightning McQueen car...



...a book (with me in the story!)



...a bear sleeping bag, and a Tinkerbell...



...and several other things, too!

Aunt Kati and Uncle John made delicious monkey bread.



We ate a yummy late breakfast. Then we all took naps!



That night, we had a big Christmas dinner, with ham, green beans (two of my favorites) and mashed potatoes.



It was a really good day. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, too!

Disney trip blog 5 - Thanksgiving

Our fifth day at Disney World was Thanksgiving! I don't know all the history of this holiday yet, but from what I can tell, it is a day when you eat a lot. So eat a lot we did!

We started out at Chef Mickey's for breakfast. I had a Mickey shaped waffle with blueberry sauce which was DELICIOUS.



And then my friends started visiting the table. First was Goofy - I was excited to see him!





Then Donald stopped by...



And Minnie...



And Pluto...



Of course my favorite is still Mickey!



We did some more fun things (and ate more great food) later in the day...but Aunt Kati says we have so many pictures that we are going to have to do a separate post about the rest of the day...so stay tuned!

Christmas blog 5 - Twas the night before...

On Christmas Eve, we went to the service at the United Methodist Church. They also have a pretty tree!



And they also did a pageant with kids in it. I got to be in this one!



I sang along, even though the microphone was a bit above my head!



And then we lit candles.



After the service, I got to go see Santa!



And then I got to pose for a bunch of pictures in front of the tree.





When we went home, I helped open the first gift of Christmas.




And then we each opened one present. Here's mine!



After that, I had to go to bed so that Santa and his elves could come deliver my presents.

Disney trip blog 4 - Kingdom of the Animals

On our fourth day at Disney, we went to Animal Kingdom park. It was almost like taking a tour to Africa! First, we heard some music.



Then, we went to eat breakfast with Donald Duck!



Donald's friends were there too. I gave Goofy a high five!



And a kiss!



Daisy was jealous, so I gave her a kiss, too!



But my favorite is still Mickey!



After breakfast, we went on a safari! We saw lots of animals from Africa.





But we didn't see any lions. So we went to see the Lion King show instead!



We ate lunch in the rainforest.



And then Mommy and I posed with an elephant! Okay, not a real one, but we liked this one anyway.



The big Christmas tree at this park was decorated with animals...of course!

Christmas blog 4 - Assembly of God church pageant

There are two churches on the island where I live. I go with Aunt Kati to the United Methodist Church most Sundays, although I have been to the Assembly of God Church a few times, too. We went to the Assembly church about a week before Christmas to see their show.

They had a very pretty Christmas tree in there. I really liked looking at it.



And I even stood still in front of it for just long enough for Aunt Kati to take a cute picture of me actually looking toward the camera instead of at the tree!



The Christmas show was really good. It was mostly kids in it. They sang lots of songs, and they also did a skit.



And after the show, we got to eat some yummy snacks. I ate a bunch of tomatoes, because I love tomatoes!

Disney trip blog 3 - more Hollywood and some Downtown

On Tuesday, Aunt Kati and I went back to Hollywood Studios so we could see some of the things we missed on Monday. First, we went to see a show about Aunt Kati's favorite princess, Belle (from Beauty and the Beast, a movie I like, too).

Belle is Aunt Kati's favorite because she loves to read.



I loved the music and dancing.



Aunt Kati loved the love story. Awwww....



In the end Belle still looked gorgeous, just more dressed up...but the Beast looked a lot better!



After the show, Aunt Kati and I shared a gigantic delicious cupcake.







That evening, we went to Downtown Disney for dinner, and I got to see another favorite movie character: Buzz Lightyear!
