Red Thread...

There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that there is an invisible red thread that connects each of us to all of the individuals who have been, currently are, and will in the future be important to us in our lives.

This red thread can stretch, twist, and bend… but will never break.

A Play Date with Kai

When Katie was on her winter break, she got invited to go bowling and play arcade games with Kai. She was so happy!

We went bowling first and had to pick our teams. 

Then we started bowling. 

The ball was really heavy like our PE balls. Kai and I shared a ball! 

I didn't knock over a lot of pins, but I had fun!

When we were in the middle of the game, we got a picture together. 

After our game finished, we got one more picture and started doing some other things.

Our first game was air hockey. 

After that, we tried this dancing game. It was so hard!

After a few games, Kai wanted to do more air hockey.

He wanted to do every air hockey game. 

On this game, we had to try to toss the balls in the targets.

Next we played Space Invaders. 

The controller was shaking a lot!

There were so many bonus points. 

 Kai was working hard!

After, we played Ninja Slice. Kai kept crashing onto bombs on purpose! 

Then we settled down for a race car game. 

This was my favorite game! 

We had to destroy things in our path! 

It was like Yettis and monsters that were trying to attack us. 

After that, we played Jurassic World. It was kind of like the same thing we played before but with dinosaurs. 

This was Kai's favorite game. It was kind of like a roller coaster. 

When we finished playing games, we got to pick out prizes with the tickets we earned! 

When we left, we had one more stop to go!

We got some yummy hot chocolate! Thanks for taking us, Kathy! I loved it!

Going Shopping

After getting Noreen's card, Katie asked to go shopping, so she could spend her money.

I chose two things. First I got this stuffed cat, and then... 

...I picked out this doll with super long hair to style.
Thank you again, Grammy Noreen!

A Christmas Card

Katie is always so happy to open her mail when she sees it's from my friend, Noreen!

I love hearing from Grammy Noreen! 

I couldn't believe it when I found money inside the card! 

This was so generous of her! 

I started making plans right away on how I should spend it!
Thank you so much, Grammy Noreen!

A Christmas Gift

One of Katie's Christmas gifts was a sticker-by-number book. It's so relaxing for Katie to complete the pictures in the book.

Little by little, the pictures become colorful!

Love for Aunt Jennifer

Katie loves Jennifer! Whenever she can, she is right next to her having fun.

I can always find a spot on the couch next to Aunt Jennifer!

Spending Time with Garyldine and Aunt Jody

After Christmas, we wanted to go see the new Star Wars movie, but Katie wasn't interested, so she went to Garyldine's house instead.

We decided to make a Frozen themed gingerbread house. 

Of course, I had to try the frosting before I decorated. 

Then it was time for the fun! 

In the end, we had a beautiful castle. 

Thanks for all the fun!

Christmas Evening

Once evening hit, Katie got into her pajamas and enjoyed some of her new things.

One of the things I was pretty excited about was this fingernail stamper I got. 

It puts pretty pictures on your fingernails. 

This is one of the dolls I got. I was trying really hard to get her shoes on. They were tight! 

Last of all, I played with my new dolls.
It was a good Christmas!

Christmas Snow Slime

It didn't take Katie long to break into some of her slime kits that she got for Christmas and make some snow slime.

I don't know why I like slime so much, but I really do love it!
