4 5/6 Years...So much to be thankful for

It was a busy month with Thanksgiving.  I got to see so many family members!  We had our preschool feast the day before Thanksgiving.   We had another Thanksgiving at Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's.  Afterward, we went to Santa's Magical Kingdom to see a lot of pretty Christmas lights.  On Friday, we went to Nana Carol's and Papa Ron's for Thanksgiving.  After that, we went to the Christmas parade.  That Sunday, we went to Aunt Lisa's for desserts.  I got to play with my cousins and watch a movie with them.  I got to help decorate the house for Christmas, and visited Santa too!
We also did a lot of shopping for other people including Babies R Us for my baby sister, and I was very patient everywhere we went.  Our ELF showed up too!  I named him Elmo, and he moves every night to tell Santa how I have been.  However, I had a hard time that first week with my behavior.  I was even Star of the Week at school that week!  I got in trouble for lying twice to daddy and my teacher and brown puppy was taken away for two nights.  That didn't stop me though.  I lied again the next day at school!  Mommy and Daddy were really disappointed in me.  I was just trying to get out of trouble, but they told me that I wasn't even in big trouble with the things I did, but now I was in double trouble!   Later that night, they noticed that I had 100 degree fever.  That always seems to happen right after I get in trouble.  I told them I thought I got a fever because I lied.  Good thing I had a better week this past week!  St. Nicholas wasn't allowed to come until I had a good week.
Funny things I said this month: "I've got it taken care of mommy."  In the car on the way home, "I don't know about you mommy, but I'm taking a nap!"  "My brain hurts" when I had a headache with my fever.  I also had a bed dream this month about a really big bird who was eating kids.
