The Force is Strong with this One

My parents are in bed Christmas morning when they hear me step out from my bedroom and say "Aah....Cooool!"

Not only did I get great Star Wars loot, but after many viewings of Lego Star Wars on my Daddy's iPhone, Mommy decided that I might as well watch the real original Star Wars ! My FIRST Star Wars movie!!! I loved it! Well, the parts that I saw... Mommy kept skipping big sections. I kept telling Mommy not to! I mean, I saw many of these scenes in the Lego version, right? (Although I have to admit that the second time I watched the movie, I asked to skip the trash compacter scene up through their escape from the Death Star.)

What a great Christmas!

One of Mommy's friends wonders, "How many times did you see the movie that it changed your DNA?"

"Best Place Ever"

...is how I described Disneyland to my parents. It had "all of the stuff I like": Buzz Lightyear, Star Wars, toys! The storm on Wednesday didn't hinder my enjoyment of Peter Pan, Submarine, Tiki Room; in fact it was great because there was zero line. I bravely tried out the Pirates of the Caribbean; the two drops scared me! And I checked out the queuing areas of Star Tours and the Haunted Mansion but didn't go on the rides. The rain was nothing that a hot cocoa break after Winnie the Pooh didn't resolve. My favorite part? "All!"

I didn't want to leave. See more pictures of the trip here.

A note from my teacher

"Isabella is doing such a great job on her 300 board. Good job, Issy!"
