Christmas!

 This weekend I went up to Stephanie and Christian's house to have an afternoon Christmas dinner! We had a lovely time eating, opening presents, and pulling our Christmas crackers.

Nickels Visit!

 This weekend, Nonie and Doc came to visit us! We had a great time working our way through a jigsaw puzzle together, listening to holiday music, and exchanging gifts. We haven't opened them yet though!

Holiday Play!

 This weekend we went out to see As You Like It at the SF Playhouse! But we got to the theater an hour early, so we got to wander around Union Square. We even tried out the new subway route that goes to Chinatown! There was some really cool art in the station, like this wall (it could totally be a puzzle).

Hair Dyeing Time!

 This week, I decided to dye my hair with Alessandra! We had fun trying to figure out how to use the hair dye, and watched a show while we waited for it to dry. We both dyed our hair green, but Alessandra's doesn't show up quite as much since it's only on the underneath layer.

Friendsgiving!

 This weekend I went to my friend Birdie's house for a Friendsgiving celebration! We got there early, and helped Birdie make some snacks in the kitchen.

Once the whole group got there, we had lunch, played some video games, and then went out on a walk. It was quite a hike to get there, but the view was so cool!

San Diego Trip!

 This weekend we drove down to San Diego to see the Nickels! I'm glad that we got a little bit of Thanksgiving time with them. Plus, Nonie and Doc took me and Emma to see Hamilton!

We also went to the new section of the San Diego Zoo and met this lovely frog.

Legion of Honor!

 This weekend I went to the Guo Pei couture exhibition at the Legion of Honor museum with Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Christian! The designer's dresses were super cool, and it was even more fun to get to see them together. We didn't take many photos of the actual artworks, but here we are outside!

Late Halloween!

 This week I had a celebration with Ale after Halloween! We sat on my roof for a while, and then built a Halloween-themed gingerbread house together while listening to some music. We had a lot of fun!

Here's the Halloween house we built.

Great Hauntway!

 This weekend I volunteered at the Great Highway's Halloween celebration, the Great Hauntway! I worked at the bounce house for a few hours, then got to walk around. I dressed up as a witch. I made it all the way to Judah street, at the very north end of the celebration!

Showtime!

 This weekend was our show! I'm super proud of all of us for all the work we put in. I got to work front of house for all four shows, and they even made me head usher! I got to greet everyone, scan tickets, and dress up for every show.

Here's the cast on closing night, too!

Tech Weekend!

 This weekend I went in to the theater to watch some rehearsals! We're close to opening night, so we're blocking some specific scenes. This one involves a prop that I made, which is the centerpiece of last scene in the show! I'm super proud of my contributions.

Lobby!

 This week I went to Hawaii to run my first ever Lobby game! I had a great time with our crew. Everyone was super nice and the game went well!

Afterwards, we also got to go to Lahaina and get shave ice, and see the super cool banyan tree!

Brunch with Gramalicia!

 This weekend Gramalicia is in town, so we went out for brunch at one of our favorite places nearby, a restaurant called Lucho's! They have some really good pancakes. Though the line was pretty long, it was completely worth it.

Birthday Tea Party V2!

 This weekend I went to my friend Emma's birthday party! Like me, she had her birthday at a high tea restaurant, though we had different items and slightly fewer people. I had a great time regardless!

Ren Faire!

 This weekend I went to my first ever ren faire with my friend Emma! We had a fantastic time wandering around the faire and finding our favorite costumes and shops.

We also found some people with a Minecraft sword! It took a lot of courage to chase after them and ask for a picture, but they were super nice.

Santa Cruz Trip!

 This weekend I went on a day trip to Santa Cruz with some of my friends! We didn't ride any of the rides, but we walked around the beach and had a great time checking out the arcades and finding our names in the gift shop.

Meetup!

 This weekend, I organized a meetup in Golden Gate Park with one of my online friends, Cicada! They're super cool and I'm so glad we finally got to meet in person. We had a good time walking around the park and having a picnic lunch.

My Birthday!

 This weekend I got to celebrate my birthday! I went out to high tea at Lovejoy's Tearoom with some of my friends.

 I gave all of them different dress codes, so we all showed up in different outfits! It was super fun.

First Day of School!

 This week was my first day of school! I'm a junior now, so I can become a peer mentor. That's what my red button is for-- I get to help a group of freshmen get accustomed to the school, and tell them about my own experiences!

Baseball Game!

 This weekend I went to a baseball game! We had a great time watching the Giants win and eating our crab sandwich. It was a close game, but we won with a walk-off home run!

Costa Rica Trip!

 This week I'm still in Costa Rica! I got to do a ton of fun stuff, like ziplining and rappelling through the canopy.

The whole group is awesome too! Left to right: Owen, Rye, Alessandra, me, and Kenneth!

Costa Rica Waterfall Gardens!

 This weekend I'm on my long-awaited Costa Rica trip! We only have 5 kids on the trip, so I know everyone already. Today we went to Waterfall Gardens, and got a tour courtesy of one of Aunt Stephanie's friends! We all had a great time.

I even got a butterfly to land on me!

NPL Con!

 This weekend I went to Nashville for NPL Con! I had a great time running a modification of my trivia game, No Elevator Trivia.

We also got to explore some of downtown Nashville, including this pedestrian bridge!

Volunteer Party!

 This week was my last week of volunteering as a counselor! I got to run around the zoo and do a scavenger hunt with some of my friends. One of the items was to take a group photo, so here we are! Left to right: Amia, Katie, me, and Kiefer!

Nonie and Doc's Birthdays!

 This weekend, the Nickels came up to celebrate Nonie and Doc's 80th birthdays with us! We had dinner at our house one night. After that, we got to go to Trader Vic's and the Nickels played an escape room!

Volunteering Time!

 This week, I got to do my first volunteering at the SF Zoo! This time, instead of being on Nature Trail, I'm a camp counselor. I had kindergarteners this week. They were a bit difficult to handle, but I had fun!

Telluride Time!

 This week I got to spend time in Telluride after the festival! While the dads climbed Needle Rock, a notoriously difficult hike, I got to climb Bear Creek, like we do every year! The waterfall at the top is really nice.

Festival Sunday!

 This weekend, I went to Telluride for the Telluride Bluegrass Festival! I've really missed going to the festival, and this one was super fun! We managed to get a whole-tarp picture with all 13 people at nighttime. I also have a cool cape on!

Mimi & Papi Visit!

 This week I got to visit Mimi and Papi for the first time in over two years! It was super exciting to see their new house in Wisconsin.

We also got to see Stephanie and Christian there! I had fun getting to see all of them.

Park Picnic!

 This weekend, I got together with some friends in Golden Gate Park!

We also made sure to go to a bookstore for Birdie, since she's moving away soon. I had a lot of fun, and I hope that we'll stay in touch!

End Of Year Picnic!

 This week I had my last days of school, so I had a picnic at the front of school grounds with some friends! We had a great time even though we didn't have much planned.

Last Weeks of School!

 This week, my history class selected superlative awards! There was a write-in option in addition to the four awards we gave out, and I won the write-in contest with the award "Best Vibes"! I'm super honored that my classmates liked me enough to give me this.

Peep Jousting!

 While Dad's on a work trip to Turks & Caicos, I've been really busy with school! I did have time to do some peep jousting though. Which one will stab the other in the microwave first?

Children's Festival!

 This weekend I went to Japantown with some of my best friends! Birdie made us all kimonos to wear, except for Emma, who is wearing a haori, which is shorter.

We also took a photo on a timer to get all of us! Left to right: Birdie, Emma, me, and Alessandra!

Video Game Weekend!

 This weekend Mom was gone running an event, so I got to play a bunch of video games! There was an event with some of my favorite characters, so I'm very happy about their interactions. The one furthest to the right is Albedo, and middle left is his sister Klee!

Linda's Birthday!

 This weekend the Nickels came up to San Francisco for Mom's 50th birthday! We had a lot of fun going on a city tour in a painted bus.

Emma and I got to sit in the back!
