In december we went back to New Jersey for three weeks for the holidays.
We stayed at residence inn Bridgewater. the first day i wanted so badly to put up the christmas tree that we got from sunshine mary but mom said no because it was only the first day.
the next day we did put up the christmas tree and we had a lot of fun. we went to see my friend, kelly play basket ball and then i went over to her house for a while to play. we had a lot of fun to so i guess saturday was a fun day! (why doesn't this thing capitalize the first letter of the sentences??)
On Sunday, we went to Rebounderz and I got to meet my half brother (donor sibling), Jacky. He's 8 and we have the same dad (well, donor) but we didn't know each other until just now. It's really cool to have a donor for a dad because I always have great surprises when I find out that I have new brothers or sisters to meet. I think it's way cool! Jacky and I had a lot of fun bouncing and he gave me a great Jets sweatshirt too. Do you think he looks like me? Then we went to watch the Jet game with Pops and I think they might have won even though they never win. Mom doesnt want Rex to get fired, but Pops says he will and Pops is always right.
while i was here i also went over to aunt bears house and i learned to wrap presents. We also went on a hike and i got all messy when we crossed to the other side of the lake and had to cross back over the river because the lake was so big. I got wet and muddy and Aunt Bear even had to wash my pants so I had to walk around in her big pants all day. We went shopping and I helped Aunt BEar and Lauren pick out presents.
Another night, I slept over Aunt Bear's and I couldnt fall asleep. I sent mom a message from my ipad telling her that I wasnt able to fall asleep because it was dark and poppy and scuzzle's tv was so loud I couldn't fall asleep. Mom was going to come and pick me up, but I told her not to. I set up my ipad by my pillow and she did the same thing and she stayed with me using facetime while I fell asleep.
news flash facetime is good for sleepovers !!!!
One day we picked up Kelly from her school and went to the movies to see The Penguins of Madegascar movie. When mom and I got to her school, there were 2 schools the middle school and the elementary school but we didnt know this and went into the middle school by accident and got really lost. Mom and I were running around the hallways looking for the principles office, but we were in the wrong school. Then we called Kelly's dad and he told us about the other school and we found her. Her school was really cool because it has big colorful murals all over the place and some of them the kids even painted. Kelly showed us the part she painted and it was awesome. She even gave us a tour of the school and we got to see her classroom and everything.
After we went to the movies, we went to Branchburg Sports Complex and we played a LOT of games and we won a lot of tickets and we got a lot of stuff. We each got a big ball and I got a gun that shoots plastic balls. Another night, I went there with my mom and we played a lot of games and we went on the motorcycles and raced but we could never get on the same game together so we raced in different races all the time. We played basketball and I was able to make a lot of baskets now that I'm taller.
Another day, I went swimming with my friends, Kelly and Chelsea, at my hotel for a couple of hours before we went down to Chris and Timmys house to open presents and celebrate Christmas a little early. My mom bought us cookies from Subways for us as snacks and we stole mom's sun chips and ate them too. We swam and tried to play volleyball and we played a game where somebody is in the pool and close their eyes and the others walk around the edges of the pool saying Marco Polo and the one in the pool has to try to hit them with a beach ball while their eyes are closed. It was hard for the person in the pool . The people walking around the edges of the pool weren't supposed to stop walking. If you hit somebody 3 times then they became the person in the pool. We had fun and the time went too fast and then it was time to go.
Then we drove down to see my uncle mark, aunt suzy and my cousins Timmy and Chris and Pops and Mary Jean were there too. Timmy and Chris and I found this box in their closet that had lots of pieces inside called 11 in 1 because it had 11 games in one box that we could play. They didnt even know they had it. The top flipped over so you could play chess, checkers or chinese checkers. The rest was on the other side on the bottom of the box and it had the 8 other games. We had fun playing the games and I really liked it so they gave it to me to take which was really nice of them. I didn't want to go and we even got aunt suzy, uncle mark and mom to come up and play games with us. Mom and Uncle Mark were doing a puzzle with Chris and Aunt Suzy was playing with Timmy and I. I have so much fun with my cousins every time I see them.
On Christmas Eve we went to Pop's house and we baked cookies with him. We made delicious oatmeal cookies and we ate a lot of them when they were warm from being in the oven, I almost couldnt eat my dinner. We went to dinner and I had my very favorite desert, my cannoli!!!! I love those!!
When we got home, I was so excited about Santa coming that I couldn't fall asleep so Mom gave me melatonin so I could sleep. Did I tell you that a new elf came while I was in NJ? Mom thought it was the same elf that we had back home (Chris), but I knew it wasnt the same one so I named him Martin. When he left Christmas morning, he left me a note and told me that he WASN'T Chris... I knew I was right!!!
In the morning, I woke up at 4:45 but Mom said it was too early and i couldnt get up yet so I went back to sleep. When I woke up at 8:30, i found a LOT of presents under the tree. Then JJ came over we opened presents and I go so many cool things that I love. There was one thing I really wanted called a Sphero that I didnt think I got and then Sunshine Mary came over later and she gave it to me and I was SO excited.
We went to Lauren's sister's house for Christmas dinner and I got to play with the kids on my new Rock Board in the driveway. And everyone was trying to ride it even the adults, but some people couldn't because they didnt have good shoes. i think that's just what they were saying because they didnt want to go on it and ruin their clothes. When everybody gave out gifts and we played a game called Secret Santa, the kids didnt play but I got a bath caddy for my mom. Aunt Bear and Lauren really liked this gift, I think they wanted one too or maybe they have one. I had a really good time there.
One day, Nan drove me to Chimney Rock restaurant where JJ could pick me up so I could go in his big green dump truck so I could ride with him. We took big loads of materials from one spot to another and I learned all the gears on a truck and I had really good time. I saw a crane in the water where they;re building a new bridge or two new ones. I wanted to go again with JJ, but we didnt have another day.
Another day, I got to have lunch with my Aunt CC and Amy at Houlihans. They told us all about their safari to Africa and showed us some cool pictures of the animals...like lions and gorillas and zebras and giraffes. They had some really funny stories to tell about sleeping over there and bugs that they saw. We didnt see them too long but we were happy because we knew we would see them again on New Year's Eve.
I also went on a sleep over with Timmy and Chris at Pop's house and we slept upstairs in the same room and each had our own bed. They showed my the game roadblock and we had a lot of fun playing it and that day we went to the park and road our scooters and chris walked on the path. We ate dinner at Pizza Time and then had Dunkin Donuts for desert...yum! The next day in the morning, we got up and went and got Perkins which I love eating at. I had cinnamon roll french toast and timmy did too and it was so good. We drove a long way to see Big Hero 6 but it was sold out when we got there. Then my mom got us tickets online to see Night at the Museum 3, which I was the second time that I had watched it, but I watched it anyway because I was just happy to get to see a movie with my cousins. Mary Jean took us but then Mom surprised me when she showed up at the movie theatre and set down half way thru the movie right next to me. I had a lot of fun on that sleep over and I wish I could see my cousins more.
On New Year's Eve we stopped to see my new brother, Jacky for a little while and then we went over to Jordan's beach house and all of our family like No No, Titi, Aunt CC, Aunt Amy, Aunt Bear, Lauren and Jordan. were there. Mom wasnt supposed to make queso but she did and everyone liked it and even Jordan and Jade and I really liked it.
Aunt Bear wasnt supposed to make PB&J crackers, but she did and everybody ate like 10 trays of them. I didnt eat them because I dont like peanut butter. No No made cheesecake which I really loved and mom even took some home with us.
I tricked mom into staying there until midnight even though she told me that we werent going to.
Jordan's friend Jade brought this toy that needed C batteries to play and mom and me went out to look at the stores but they didnt have any and most of the stores were closed. So i had to knock on somebody's door and ask them if she had some batteries I could borrow. She had a dog and she looked like she was sleeping on the couch when I knocked. She left me at the door for so long while she looked that I thought she forgot about me and left me there, but she came back and gave them to me and didnt take any money for them.
My Titi is always trying to feed everyone something. She made me my very first people food, I think it was applesauce when I was a baby and I wasn't even supposed to be eating people food yet.
When the clock struck zero, we went outside and did sparklers but they went out very quickly. it was cold out there. Then we went home and mom said we shouldnt have left so late because she was going to fall asleep while driving, but thank goodness she didnt. We stopped at WaWas so mom could get a tea to keep her awake and I found a cup of dirt there which is the one that has pudding and oreas and stuff and I forgot that Lauren was supposed to make the dirt for me for christmas but she forgot. She's in big trouble!!

We didnt get home until almost 3:00 in the morning and I had to get up to go to Chelsea's in the morning and I was tired. I had a good time at Chelsea's and we played Wii and we jumped on her trampoline. We had a good time.
I was so upset that I didnt get to see all of my friends, but at least we saw some. I also missed my dogs because we had to leave them in Belgium while we were in NJ. They were so happy to see us when we got back and I was happy to see them.
But I had fun with Pops and my cousins and seeing my Aunt Katie who is 98 years old...wow!! And getting to ride with JJ and seeing all my aunts and La La.

I had a lot of fun with my Aunt Bear and LAuren while I was there and I miss them now a lot now that I'm not there. I liked seeing Scuzzle and Poppy because they always give me a really funny card, but their tv is still too loud when they sleep. I really liked driving in JJs truck and baking cookies with Pops and I miss them too and I miss my cousins because I always have a lot of fun with them. I hope everybody comes to see me here in Belgium!
Then it was time to fly home... and we got lucky and mom got us in business class... Nan and I love that! Then I left her ipad on the plane and thats a whole other story... (they found it because if they didnt, I wouldnt be alive to write this)
