Relaxing at the Cozy Cottage

This weekend, Mimi and Papi soaked up the Sonoma sunshine while I played ukulele. I'm getting pretty good at making up my own songs!

Women's March

Max and I marched for what we believe in, along with 100,000 other people in San Francisco.

That's us on the far left, near the building with pink archways.

New Sweater

Stephanie gave me this new sweater when I went to see her in Novato. The pin that I'm wearing is from the Nickels. My sweater is very soft, so people keep petting me.

On a Mission

I'm building a model of Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa for school. It has real tiny bells and grape arbors.

Dragon Experts

On our road trip with Nonie and Doc, Emma and I rode the dragon boat at Santa Monica Pier about 10 times! Then we went to lunch at Bubba Gump's. After lunch, we rode it 6 more times.

Christmas Joys

I got so many great gifts for Christmas, I could barely decide what to do first. Legos and my new iPod are a great combination!

Symphonic Snowman

Uncle Christian and Aunt Stephanie took me to the San Francisco Symphony's holiday show. The movie "The Snowman" was shown on a big screen while they played the music live. Plus, there was a hot chocolate bar!

Christmas Tree Shopping

Every year, we try to pick out a tree that's about as tall as I am.

Supergirls on the Run

Last weekend was our Girls on the Run 5K through Golden Gate Park. I flew through the course in 36 minutes with my running buddy, Lauren!

Don't bother me, I'm solving puzzles

No blog post this week – I'm too busy playing Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box on Dad's Nintendo DS.

Beach Buddies

I'm so thankful that Emma is my cousin, and that I'm in San Diego for a visit! Both of our home towns have an Ocean Beach that's perfect at sunset.

Sewing Class

I'm really enjoying my sewing class after school. As a fifth grader, I get to help the younger kids use the sewing machine. I'm planning my own sewing projects at home, too.

Historic Vote!

Yesterday, Mom was really proud to cast her vote for the first woman president. Even though the election didn't turn out how we wanted, we're trying to stay positive today. Girl power!

Halloween Parade

I really enjoyed my final Halloween parade at Jefferson. I tried to give everyone a high-five all the way around the school yard!

Octoberfest Dance

I got all dressed up for the annual Octoberfest party at Uncle Christian's Rotary Club last weekend. It was fun, and Emilia and I won the chicken dance contest!
