Well, no worries, I had an awesome day! I got home and not only did I have birthday cake but there were presents to open!
Chocolate!
Friday after school, I got even MORE presents and cards!
We got some snow Friday night! I forgot how cold it was! Saturday morning Mom, Dad and I loaded up and headed to school for "parent's day out". (I didn't want to tell them, but it is actually more like "Pierce's day out" because I avoided all the shopping and running around they had to do.)
It was a fun party day at school and I enjoyed hanging out with my friends and not being so structured. I mean, I like calculus and my Japanese language class, but there are times when you just want to play with paper and the dinosaurs.
Look what I made! Wow, I'm really skilled!
Yum ... lolly-pop!
Grandma Maggy stopped by this morning between church services to hang out and relax. She was part of a choir and orchestra that put on an amazing performance. I was glad to help her chill out between sets.
After her visit we went to Hyperion for the Santa Brunch. I "rested my eyes" on the way to make sure I was as fresh as I could be for this important meeting.
The Santa Brunch was cool. Not only did I get to see the Kennedy and White families, I was able to fill up on blueberries, strawberries, waffles and chocolate milk before meeting "the big guy".
Dad carried me and Mom helped secure the perimeter as we approached. I offered (and Santa accepted) my toy backhoe as a peace offering. It felt like we had a good, productive visit.
Santa was okay. He seemed a bit too enthusiastic for me but hey, he's jolly and all so I guess that's what I should have expected. I do look forward to working on our relationship in the coming years. (In case you're curious, I did get my toy backhoe returned.)
Remember when I teased everyone about a special contest for my birthday? Well, if you feel like you're up on Pierce trivia and want to enter, please e-mail me at PierceBirthdayContest2010@gmail.com to request a quiz. (Your request must be received by Midnight, Wednesday, Dec. 15.)
