I sure had a wonderful month! I had no idea I was going to do so many fun things! I also learned a lot during the month.
One of the big things this month was our trip to South Carolina. We visited my Auntie Michelle who lives on Hilton Head Island. The island |

We visited Savannah, Georgia and took a tour. I also did some tours in Hilton Head, including a kayaking tour. We were gone for 9 days! You can read more about some of the things I did on page 3 of this month's issue.
When we got back I helped decorate for Christmas. We went to a farm and got our Christmas tree and decorated it. We also went to a caroling party at the Weisel Youth Hostel. There was big bonfire outside and we sang Christmas songs. Then there were lots of cookies and hot chocolate!
For Christmas I got a lot of really cool toys. I got some games because I love to play games with my family. My uncle and grandparents both gave me some really great magic tricks. I always wanted a rock tumbler and now I have one! I can't wait to try it. |

After Christmas we went to Connecticut for a few days to visit my grandparents. We also were able to see some of my cousins and my great-aunts and great-uncles. Now that we're home we have some projects around the house that we need to do. I can't believe how fast this month went by. Hope you enjoy this month's issue.

Gabrielle's Grab Bag |

Gabrielle has had a great time this month. She loved going to South Carolina! She really liked going in the whirlpool at the place we rented and she loved going to the beach! But her favorite part was being able to see our Grandma, Poppa and Aunt Michelle.
Before Christmas while we were shopping, Gabrielle and I were allowed to go a few isles away from our mom and shop for Christmas gifts for her. Gabrielle thought it was really fun.
Now Gabrielle is really amazing. She can spell and write her name all by herself!! She signed her name to our Christmas letters! I can't believe she's getting so big! |
