Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas, everyone!! I hope that you had a wonderful holiday filled with family and friends. Did you do any fun traditions? My favorite is singing carols around the piano with my family on Christmas Eve!!


We had a real fire on Christmas Eve to keep us warm. We needed it because there was a big snowstorm outside! It snowed all day on Christmas.

 I also got some great gifts! Two books that I am so excited about.


Have you ever read about Babar, the elephant? He is one of my favorite characters. He leaves the jungle to go live in the city. He wears a green suit.


I also got a new book about Angelina Ballerina! This one is about ice skating. Have you ever been ice skating?

 I also got a very special present - a new dress for my Samantha doll!! I am so excited to play with her in it.

Remember the mystery present under the tree for me that I told you about? I finally got to open it...


What could be inside?


A set of Peanuts books!! I love Charlie Brown and his friends, especially their Christmas story. Looks like I have a lot of reading to go do. Did you get anything fun for Christmas?

Have you heard the news?

Did you know that I moved? Can you guess where?

Maybe this will help...

That's right! I live in Washington DC, our nation's capitol!

Have you ever been here before? Anything special you think I should go see?

Send in the clowns...I had a birthday!!

Hey guys!! I just turned 11 at the end of June (the 27th, to be exact) and last weekend I had a super fun carnival party! I wish you all could have been there to celebrate with me, it was so much fun!

All of the invitations came with little tickets the guests brought in order to be admitted to my carnival.

Let me show you around!

We hung up a striped fabric outside to be a nice background.

Lots of carnival themed threats!

A delicious cake...

and lots of games!
Erika and Annie try to guess how many M&Ms are in the jar -
How many do you think there are?

While they put in their guesses, the rest of us had a 3 legged race!

Jayda and I had a great plan to win - we kept practicing - "inside, outside, inside, outside"! We are a great team!
But then the actual race began and I'm not sure what happened...
Lanie and Kennedy sailed right past us and by the finish line.

Where did we go wrong?
Next we played the duck pond. We had to race our rubber ducks across the water, using straws to propel them.
 My favorite activity at my party was the photobooth! We had lots of silly props for everyone to play with - Time for presents! A cowboy hat! And boots! Don't I look stylish? One present left.. Wow!! What an adorable owl pillow for my bed! Only one thing left to do now, and that's cut the cake! Everyone gathered around and began to sing, "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to yooooou, Happy Birthday dear Piper! Happy Birthday to you!" Sharing cake with friends is the best part of my birthday! What is your favorite thing about your birthday?

Beach House

Last week I stayed up on the coast of Washington in a perfect beach house! The beach up there is not hot and dry and you need a sweater instead of a swimsuit, but we still had some great sunny days!
 I cruised around the little town on my bike, and then on down to the beach. The beaches aren't crowded at all, and it's a lot easier to find neat shells and things! Do you like my starfish?
 Will you be going near any beaches this summer?
