November 30 - Sandy Claws

We went to the 2008 Festival Of Trees at the Hilton in Vancouver today. It was really fun. I loved running around the wide open spaces and dancing to the school kids' holiday songs.

I can't say I loved looking at the trees (it was alright), but I did LUV walking around the ropes cordoning off the trees. Did I say, "walking"? Running was more like it.

Anyway, here is a picture of me with Santa. I felt strongly that Mommy and Daddy needed to be in the picture with me.



I fell asleep in the car "reading a book" on the way home from the festival. My car seat doesn't recline, so it wasn't actually very comfortable, so I woke up a few times, because my head was drooping pretty far forward. We'll try to fix the car seat so it tilts back a bit.

We got home, and Daddy read me some books. Mommy and Daddy were relaxing on the couches (they were pooped after chasing me, can't imagine why). Around 4:30, Mom took to decorating the tree. Well, for some reason, only 2/5 (I can already do fractions, wow!) of the lights on the pre-lit artificial tree would cooperate. Rather than going bulb-by-buib, Mom decided to just add strings of lights to the tree. A feat easier said than done, given my insistence on helping.

Mommy put me down for a nap at 5 PM, in part to get me out of her hair, and in part because I was so obviously tired. I slept until 6:30, when Mommy woke me up so I could have dinner.

I was SO excited to look at our tree and touch all the ornaments I could reach!

This is a great Santa pic. I had limited success when I took Leo to see Santa today. The visit ended with Leo crying and tugging on Santa's beard.
