Ice Skating

We went ice skating in the city today for the first time.  Mommy, Uncle Gogo and Bada took us into the city to Macy's, Union Square and the ice skating rink.  It was so much fun!  I am quite skilled....have lots of coordination (let's be honest...I always have had great coordination skills...I'm ahead of the curve!).  Aki fell down a lot (NO surprise there), but not me.  I am a natural.

Zoo lights

Nothing better than a chilly holiday night, a light show, some wild animals and a good cup of hot chocolate.  Guess who are the wild animals??? (hint - see below)

Santa Came!!!

Oh My Gosh! Santa delivered! What an amazing Christmas. We woke up this morning to Santa's sleigh all decked out. Mrs. Claus even made us a gingerbread house....with her very own hands. Santa left us a note! I can't believe he gave us his sleigh. He's the greatest guy ever!
Apart from the sleigh and gingerbread house, Santa stuffed our stockings with new automatic toothbrushes (I LOVE it) and bath products. I also got a really cool kitchen set, and my first piece of big girl jewerly.  It is a sterling silver bracelet with my name engraved on the front.  On the back it says, "mommy loves you".  I will have it forever and will really cherish it in years to come (or at least I know my mommy is hoping so).  I also got some books, a poetry book, clothes and a guitar.  Akira got a pirate ship and some food to cook in kitchen with.  I got a lot of pirat accessories to help fill out Akira's new boat.  Super fun!!  I think it's my mom's way of ensuring that we share our toys. Each of us got one big thing but the other one got the accessories to go with it, so if we want to fully play with out toys we need to work together and SHARE. It's ok....it's way more fun to play WITH someone anyhow..
After opening our gifts, we got to play for a long time in the afternoon and then had a yummy dinner all together. I LOVED our Christmas this year! Merry merry Christmas!
