Holman Holidays Again!

 This weekend was the Christmas holidays, so we got to meet up with some family members! On Christmas Eve, we got to gather with Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Christian, and also saw Matthew, Erik, Julia, Lyla, and Axel!

Gramalicia was also here, so we got to have Christmas with her!

Holman Holidays!

 This weekend I called Mimi and Papi to talk to them! It was great to see some of my family members, even if we can't meet up in person this year. I'm glad that they're settling into their new house, just like we're settling into ours!

GGP Volunteering!

 This weekend I went to Golden Gate Park to volunteer, at Strawberry Hill! We worked on cutting some bramble and moving these stumps so that people can sit on them.

Albedo Obtained!

 This weekend I unlocked my favorite character in Genshin Impact! His name is Albedo and he's an alchemist. I dressed up as him for Halloween, and now I have him! He has earth powers, so I use him to make shields for my fighting team.

Thanksgiving!

 This weekend was fall break, so I drove down to San Diego with my parents to see some family! We had Thanksgiving dinner together in Nonie and Doc's new house. It looks super cool!

Ice Skating!

 This weekend I went to San Mateo to ice skate with some of my friends! Emma invited us, and Alessandra and I drove over together. 

I'm not that good at ice skating, but I have my friends to help me!

Tiny House!

 This weekend I went on a walk by the lake. There's a spot with a bench where we can just see our house in the distance, so I can hold it between my fingers!

Burritos!

 This weekend I walked to Taraval and got a burrito for lunch! The weather was pretty nice, so we got to sit in the park to eat them.

Halloween!

 This weekend was Halloween! I dressed up as a character from Genshin Impact named Albedo, he's a scientist with earth powers. 

I also met two other Genshin Impact characters in my old neighborhood! These two are dressed as Klee and Diona.

Matching Crowns!

 This week I brought my three tiaras to school! I matched with a couple of my friends, and we all also wore similar white shirts and black pants. I think we all looked cute!

Costume In The Works!

 This weekend I worked on my Halloween costume with Gramalicia! She's helping me modify the lab coat I bought. It's looking really good! I'm having a lot of fun making the costume with her.

Homecoming!

 This weekend I went to my first homecoming dance! Alessandra and I went together. Most people weren't dressed very formally, but I got a lot of compliments on my dress and I had a ton of fun!

We also got the photographer to take a picture of us at the dance.

Farmers Market!

 This weekend I walked to the Stonestown Farmers Market for the first time! It was a lot larger than I was expecting, so we walked around and got to see everything. I thought it was really cool!

Dear Evan Hansen!

 This weekend I went to the new theater at Stonestown to watch Dear Evan Hansen with some friends! We had a lot of fun at the movie, especially since we already knew a lot of the songs.

 This weekend I volunteered to do some garden work at the bison habitat in Golden Gate Park! We trimmed a bunch of bramble, it was pretty fun!

We also got to take a photo at the end of the course.

 This weekend I went to Sloat Garden Center and picked out a new houseplant with Mimi! I'm super happy about my choice, and it was fun to see Mimi and Papi over call.

Haircut!

 This weekend after my birthday, I decided to cut my hair! It's gotten really long over quarantine. I like my new shorter hair a lot!

 This week I got to go back to school for the first time in eighteen months! I'm super excited to start at Lowell and meet some friends that I knew online.

Final Chickens Trip!

 This weekend Mom and I went to my middle school to take care of the chickens for the last time! The new garden coordinator seems good, I'm glad that we've found someone else to take over the job once school starts.

Giants Game!

 This weekend I got to go to a Giants game! We went for a 6:45 game, and the Giants won! I enjoyed the game a lot. We got stuck trying to get home, but it worked out in the end.

Telluride Trip!

 This week I went to Telluride! Instead of going to the festival, we just got to be around town. It rained on us when we went to Smuggler's, but I still had fun!

We also hiked Bear Creek!

 This week we celebrated Gramalicia and Great Aunt Marcia's birthday! We met up at Stephanie and Christian's house and we had dinner at a restaurant in Sausalito. I'm glad to get to meet up with my family again!

Stern Grove!

 This weekend I went to the first show of the summer at Stern Grove! Alessandra and I went together to see Thievery Corporation. Finding seating was difficult - I was surprised to see so many people!

Moving!

 This weekend I worked on moving out of our old house! Some of the last things to come down were our tapestries, since they add a lot of character. They're finally coming off the ceilings!

San Diego Trip!

 This weekend we drove down to San Diego to see some family! I had a ton of fun, especially on our beach day. Nonie and Doc had a kite stand at the Ocean Beach festival, so we walked around and hung out on the beach!

 This weekend was father's day! We had lunch all day and went to get burritos for actual lunch, and afterwards got to walk around the botanical garden. I had a lot of fun!

Picnic Time!

 This weekend I got to have a picnic with my best friend Alessandra! I'm super happy to get to see her again. We had lunch in the botanical garden and walked around a little. It was really nice to talk to her again!

Second Dose!

 This weekend I got my second dose of the Covid vaccine! I'm super excited to have maximum immunity soon, we'll get to go back to the world!

Online Meetup!

 This weekend I met up with my friend Alessandra in the park. We weren't able to spend too much time together, but we talked for a while online later! One of the things we did was look through our closets for clothes we don't wear very often. This was one result of my searching!

Grandparent Visit!

 This weekend Nonie and Doc drove up to see us! I was super happy to get to see them again. We spent the day in Golden Gate Park and had a picnic. For dinner we went to the outdoor tiki bar at Pacific Catch!

 This week I got my first Covid vaccine! I didn't have many side effects and I felt pretty good afterwards. We celebrated by getting free donuts at Krispy Kreme!

Mothers Day!

 This weekend for Mothers Day, we went to the Skystar Wheel in Golden Gate Park! It's been closed most of the time it has been here, but I'm glad we got to see it in action today.

Video Game Weekend!

 This weekend we didn't have any plans, so I played a lot of Genshin Impact! I'm really excited because I got a new character. His name is Zhongli and he makes shields. I also like exploring to find views with him! I really liked this picture, it shows some of my favorite scenery.

Chickens!

 This weekend we celebrated Linda's birthday! We didn't get to have any special outings, but the chickens said hello and were excited to see us.

Grapefruit Cake!

 This weekend I made grapefruit bundt cakes! I found this recipe a few years ago and I like making it every time we get some grapefruit from my cousins Erik and Julia.

Turtle Count!

 This weekend I walked around the lake and counted turtles! It was pretty warm and sunny, which is ideal turtle finding weather. Some of the turtles were really close to the shore and easily visible!

Easter!

 This weekend I went to Stephanie and Christian's backyard for an Easter family gathering! I got to see them, as well as Erik, Julia, Lyla and Axel. They've grown so fast! I hid some eggs for both of them.

Beach Weekend!

 This weekend was a little warmer than most of our winter, so Dad and I walked to the beach! I love playing in the sand and walking in the waves, even if the water is really cold. I'm hoping that we'll get to go out for trips like this more often soon!

St Patrick's Day!

 This week I didn't do much, mostly stayed inside, but we got to celebrate St Patrick's Day with green drinks! We also picked up dinner from one of our favorite restaurants.

Pi Day!

 This weekend was pi day, so we made a pie! I chose pumpkin, since it's not too difficult, and I think it's delicious. I'm definitely the most enthusiastic about pumpkin pie in our household, but hey, this way I get some more!
