We celebrated Thanksgiving 3 times at my grandparents' houses. I really enjoyed playing with my cousins. I also got to go to the Washington Christmas parade again. During our trip, I said, "I don't want Mommy and Daddy to live with me when I get older because I am going to have a silly house!"
I have done a lot of Christmas preparations this month! I went to Bella's house and made salt dough ornaments and melted crayon ornaments. That was so much fun to hang out with her! I hung out with Nana Arden while Mommy and Daddy went Christmas shopping one morning. We visited Santa at Bass Pro too. I told him that I wanted a Frozen castle and and Elsa Snow Glow. I hope he brings them! After our Thanksgiving celebrations, we put up the tree. I helped Daddy set it up, Mommy got out the ornaments, and Daddy and I put them in the perfect places. I even have a small pink tree in my room! Our Elf Elmo came that night and has done some silly things, like making snow angels in our sprinkles and hiding our ornaments. St. Nicholas came to visit us a day late because I spent the night at my cousin Corinne's house. We also went to Washington to celebrate Christmas with Nana Carol's house.
We had a very sad thing happen this month. Our beloved baby-sitter, Miss Annie, got really sick and the doctors couldn't do anything more to help her and she died. I am really sad and didn't want her to die. I worry about Mr. Kenny being all alone. We will make sure to visit him. I made her a card when she was in the hospital and never got to give it to her before she died. We went to the funeral home and I gave the card to Mr. Kenny. He put it in the coffin and she will be buried with it. I will really miss her. She was a very special lady.
The other big piece of news is that I got really sick this month. Last Monday, Mrs. Sicht sent me to the nurse because I was red under my eyes, but I didn't have a fever. Mommy was there working and saw me in the office when she was getting ready to leave. We decided to try and stay. When Mommy picked me up from school two days later, I told her I was cold. Sure enough, I had a fever! It got up to 103.5 for two days and only came down to 101 with medicine. We went to the doctor and I did not have strep. He did not do a flu test, but that is probably what I have. I had a fever for 5 days, and went back to school today. I felt cold again and was sent home with 101 fever. We are really hoping this gets better soon. There is a lot of fun stuff that I am missing at school!
