Another wonderful Christmas Eve at cousin Sophia's with our families, G'ma & G'Pa Mercier and cousin Sierra!

On Friday afternoon, Mom and Dad took me to opening day of the new Star Wars movie, Episode VII: The Force Awakens. It was awesome. Then we drove down to visit with Ken & Tom in Dobbs Ferry, taking the train into NYC on Saturday for the "Star Wars and the Power of Costume" exhibition at Discovery Times Square! Costumes and other stuff from all seven movies were on display!

Pinball and Ms. Pac-Man

Headed to Kingston this weekend to celebrate Grandpa's birthday! We went to an Italian restaurant, the highlight of which (for me) was the pinball machine! Sophia and I took turns with that and Ms. Pac-Man. Oh, and Uncle Spike tried on Mom's reading glasses, which was funny.

Santa!

I hung out with Santa at Bob's Trees today. I gave him some ideas for Christmas and a hug! The family selected a tree, brought it home and decorated it. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Science!

Went to the Science Fair at MiSci today to have fun and play/experiment with vortexes, magnets, air pressure, bubbles and maybe my favorite... dipping a rose in liquid nitrogen to freeze it, then smashing it with a hammer. :)

Liam's Leaf Raking, LLC™

I asked my Dad if we could start a leaf raking business today. He agreed and we engaged our first client a few houses down the street. We gave him a "first client discount" of just $5 to rake his front yard. It took about 45 minutes. Then we headed back home for lunch. After that it was over to Target to spend my $5 on Pokémon cards. Now I've officially retired from the leaf raking business, at least until next year.

October snow

My friend Dean came over to play today and while we were in the backyard, it started snowing! Or sleeting? Freezing raining? It came down for about 10 minutes and we were even able to pack together a couple of puny snowballs before it was over.

Columbus Day Hike

Today was Columbus Day and I had no school. Mom and Dad had the day off from work and it's also G'ma & G'Pa M's 63rd wedding anniversary. We headed down to Kingston to celebrate with them this weekend and for a few hours this morning, me, Mom and Dad hiked around some spots across the river in Dutchess County.

We checked out the Wilderstein Historic Site in Rhinebeck for a bit, then over to the Mills Mansion in Staatsburg for a walk along the trails. It was a nice day for it.
