Thanksgiving

We had a week off from school, so we went to New Orleans to see Mah Mah, Yeh Yeh and Auntie CC.  It was a good week.  But flying there was terrible as there was a lot of turbulence.  Mom did not feel good at all.  And that's putting it lightly.

Of course, off to church with Mah Mah

Messing around with the pool tools

Always a visit to great grandma...

Family photo day...

Trying to find the perfect spot is always hard.

Too bad the tree behind us is dead....

Fail

Trying to be cute....gee...what is not working here?

What's a trip to New Orleans without eating beignets?

Again, scouting locations

Another beef wellington dinner....

Looks like we found a winner spot!

And again...trying to be cute....so not working.

And more beignets

GW Fins is my new favorite.

Levi's Stadium and the Cal game

Uncle Steve gave us tickets to go watch the Cal v Oregon game at Levi's Stadium.  We just wanted tickets, but Uncle Steve scored big and got us VIP seats.  Right at the 50 yard line, with a special lounge with complimentary food and drinks!  Of course, we went wild in there.  We arrived super early...since we heard there would be traffic.  And we wanted a head start on our dinner.

Here we are at the bottom of the stairs...basically, we are feet from the field.  Our seats are only 25 rows up.  We had amazing seats!

Under the seating area of section 115, we are heading into the lounge. 

Eating duck pizza (Oregon Ducks?) and nachos

Oh boy!  We went crazy with the candy!

Not very many people there as early as we were...so we had the food to ourselves.

On the field!

The view from our seats

Pretty nice, huh?

Snacking on popcorn

The band is playing

Cal band

Here come the players

Mom enjoys her view....

Taking a video game break in the lounge.

The game was still going when we left....it was late and we had chinese school the next day.  Oregon won....but it was still a fun game and a nice chance to see the new stadium.  A big thanks to Uncle Steve for giving us these tickets!

3 teeth lost in the last week!

I just yanked out my 3rd tooth since Thursday (it's Monday night).  Technically, I didn't pull out that first one on Thursday, I had to go to the dentist because I couldn't get it out...and I had this funky blister thing.  I had gone to the dentist 10 days before to get that blister looked at and they said it was because the adult tooth was pushing up on the baby tooth.  Anyhow, I worked on that tooth for a week, but it was stuck.  Went in to the office and it was out in minutes.

Then, after lunch today, I pulled the 2nd one out....and then just now, as I lay in bed...another one came out.

Ew.  My blister.  

First Day of 5th Grade

It's the first day of 5th grade.  I'm so tired.  I wish I could sleep in.  This is gonna be hard.  What time do I have to wake up again?

Yeah, I'm still sleeping.  Or, I'd like to be.

Tired.
