Dear Family & Friends,
December was the BEST month!! I got to go to the Festival of Trees with my friends Tilly & Blair. And dad even met us up there which was extra fun!
I also got to go to see the lights at Salem Pond. They are so cool!
And of course Santa came to my town on the firetruck!!
We went on a lot of great walks. Dad is the best. He pulls me around on the sled. Good thing I have such a big strong dad!
A couple days before Christmas we had our Barnhisel family Christmas party at our house this year. It was so fun!! Me and my cousins had a cake wars. My cousin Kate won this year. It was such a hit that I think it is going to become a tradition. Even the adults are going to join in next year!
Grandma gave me a new game called Ant Colony with I LOVE! We play it all the time!
On Christmas Eve I got new Christmas jammies and dad and I tracked Santa to make sure I was in bed on time.
Christmas morning I got my wish... Fireball Island!!! I played it at Uncle Ryan's house and wanted my own and Santa brought it to me!!
Kyle is the best brother. He helped me build an AWESOME snowman and we even build snow forts together!
The best present we got for Christmas was a cruise to Mexico!!! We left a few days after Christmas and it was AMAZING!! I loved the cruise and want to go back!
One of my favorite things was the glass elevator.
We went to Catalina Island. It wasn't very warm and we got rained on a bit but we had a great time.
We took a tour of the island in a huge truck. We got to see Buffalo and learn a lot about the island.
The very best part about the cruise was San! He was our server in the dining room and he always took great care of me. He brought me my own special order or a pb sandwich (toasted which I had never had before and now LOVE), chips, fruit and always extra ICE CREAM!! I miss him!
We started the new year on the cruise as well but I will tell you more about that in next months letter!
Love Sam Wade Barnhisel
