Acorn in the Snow!

We went to Mount Rainier and played in the snow. Acorn found a tree and now she loves the tree and insisted on not getting off the tree when we needed to leave! But eventually she did. 

Her favorite color is the color of acorns, so, brown. She loves to play games like catch the acorn and see who can climb highest in the tree. 

Her favorite school subject is writing. 

And her favorite food is, obviously, acorns!

When she tries to hide, we always find her because she can't hide very well. 

Her hobby is squirrel gymnastics! I have to help her though because she still can't do a back handspring by herself. 

I love my squirrely very much!! 

Kikki!

She's is one year old. My Grandma Cheryl got her for me at build-a-bear when Grandma came to visit us in Virginia. 

This is Kikki's very best friend, Splashy:

They are technically fifth cousins. 

Sometimes they do what Splashy likes to do, like scuba diving, and sometimes they do what Kikki likes to do, like going rock climbing!

They are very fun to take care of. They are very sweet, and I love them very much!

Love,

Alyssa

Sunshine!

His name is Sunshine, but I call him Sunny. He likes to be a king, so we are building him a little kingdom with this throne in it.

He is very silly:

But most of all, he is a musician! He loves to play the violin, no matter what size it is! He is very good at it too!

Sunshine was a gift to me from a neighbor friend named Robin. Her dog's name is Sunshine and Sunshine looks a lot like the stuffed animal Sunshine. I used to go on lots of walks with Robin and Sunshine when I lived in Virginia. 

Love,

Alyssa

Emmy!

Her real name is Emethys, but I call her Emmy. I've had her for about two years. I got her at Cracker Barrel. She is mechanical and could walk on her own until she broke one of her legs. We gave her surgery and repaired her leg. But it's been a year and now, and she broke the other leg. We are going to do surgery on the other leg.

She is so cute! Look at the picture! Her ears point up and her she has a short little body!

Her favorite thing to do is sit and eat since she is so old.

I love her so much! She is a great pig!

Love,
Alyssa

Kowalski

Kowalski likes to bake. He likes to explode things. His favorite favorite thing to do is invent things. Like army suits and smoothies that make themselves in the blender. But mostly what he does is cuddle up in my bed and read stories.

I found Kowalski in the creek next to our house in Alexandria, Virginia about six months ago. I cleaned him up in the bath and in the washing machine. His arms still have holes in the edges, but he is a special stuffed animal.
