When Nanaw picked Chase up from school, it was snow flurrying. Nanaw and Mama were excited about it, but Chase said he wasn't. He wanted snow that was going to stick and that he could make a snowman and snowballs out of. Chase said he had math and reading homework. He did his AR reading, even though there's no reading log this week. He also did his reading homework. Then he did one page of math homework and saved the second page for Daddy to help with. Chase said Daddy is good with math; he also said Nanaw is good with math. He watched Curious George (he loves that show) and played with Nanaw's tablet. He's supposed to be playing with his tablet but he likes the games he installed from Google Play. Nanaw will have to figure out how to take out the SD card on Chase's tablet and re-install Google Play so he can download the games he likes. Nanaw forgot the guys when she took Chase home so she had to go back to her house to get the guys.

On Monday morning, Mama brought Chase's ugly sweater and the two big Jacks so that Nanaw could take Chase's Christmas picture for her Christmas card. So Chase put on the sweater, picked up the Jacks and had Nanaw take some pictures -- it was very funny. When Nanaw picked Chase up from school, he had the Christmas presents he bought today at Santa's Kottage for Mama, Daddy and Grandma Pat. (He bought Nanaw's present Saturday when they went to the Craft Fair. Chase did his AR reading even though he said they didn't get a reading log this week. After the reading, he watched Curious George and played with his Switch. Then at 4 p.m., he started studying for his science test tomorrow. Nanaw quizzed him on the review page, and he seemed to know the material. Nanaw told Mama that but suggested that Mama go through the review page again in the evening. Chase forgot to bring his backpack home so Mama came to pick it up.

Chase and Daddy went to church on Sunday morning. Mama said she and Chase worked on his homework and got it all done. Nanaw came over on Sunday afternoon to watch a Hallmark movie with Mama while Chase and Daddy went to hockey practice. When they got home, Daddy said practice went well. Mama fixed delicious pot roast for dinner -- Nanaw loved it and so did Chase. Chase said he liked the carrots best of all. After dinner, Chase and Nanaw played with the little wind-up toys that Chase got in his Advent Calendar. They had races and then they played on the squares of Chase's Minecraft place  mat. They had great fun playing and Chase said they would do it again next weekend. Tomorrow Nanaw is going to take Chase's Christmas picture for her Christmas cards so she took home Chase's ugly sweater for him to wear in the picture. Mama is going to bring the two big Jacks for Chase to hold in the picture.

Saturday was a big day of activities for Chase. In the morning, Chase, Mama and Nanaw went to the ICS Craft Fair. There wasn't a Craft Fair last year because of the pandemic so everyone was happy about this year's Craft Fair. They met Brady and Emma and their mom and walked around the fair with them. Nanaw bought Chase a game that's sort of like Connect Four. Mama bought him a stuffed octopus and some bath bombs. Mama and Nanaw both bought cookies from the cookie room. They went to Santa's Kottage, and Chase and Mama bought Nanaw's Christmas present from Chase. He also got ideas about what to buy Mama, Daddy and Grandma Pat when his class goes to Santa's Kottage on Monday. In the afternoon, Mama, Daddy and Chase went to the Columbia Christmas Parade with Brady and his family. Then they went to the after-parade celebration at Turner Hall. Chase visited Santa and Mrs. Claus, saw his friend Connor there and also got a penguin face painting thing -- Mama sent Nanaw the last three pictures below.

Mama had the day off from work on Friday so she took Chase to school. Mama and Nanaw had a major Christmas shopping day on Friday. They went to Walmart, Gravois Bluffs (Target and Five Below), PetCo, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Home Depot. They had a great time and accomplished a lot. The first picture below is of Taylor trying to get the catnip out of the Christmas stocking that Kitty Claus is giving the cats. When Nanaw picked Chase up from school, Chase told Nanaw he had lots and lots of homework, at least four assignments. He did his science homework at Nanaw's house. He also has two math problems to do to finish up his math homework. He has Spanish worksheets to do also. The most difficult assignment is for social studies. The topic is culture, and he has to do three sections: one talking about architecture, one talking about food and recipes of cultures, and another one that Nanaw can't remember. The weather was so nice that Daddy was grilling hamburgers, and Chase played on the trampoline when he got home from Nanaw's Tomorrow is the ICS Craft Fair, and Chase and Nanaw are very excited about it.

When Nanaw picked Chase up from school, he said he had a few math problems and his AR reading as his homework. He did part of the reading on the way home from school, and then finished at Nanaw's house. He worked on his math while watching Curious George. Uncle Mike called and said he and Aunt Becky were on their way to Home Depot to get Nanaw's Christmas tree. I told Chase he was going to Home Depot with us, and he wasn't too happy about that. Nanaw eventually got him to change his mind, and he ended up having a good time, especially after Nanaw bought him Sour Patch candy. He seemed to have fun walking around looking at all the different Christmas. On their walk to the car, Chase did the best thing he's ever done to Nanaw. He put his arm around Nanaw and said, "I love being with you. It's the best thing in my life." Nanaw was so happy to hear that.

The first two photos are of the Curious George stuffed animal that Nanaw got for Chase for his birthday or Christmas. When Nanaw picked Chase up from school, he said he had no homework, just his AR reading. He said he got his math homework except for the checking done before band. Then after band, he did the math checking. Nanaw asked him how band went, and he said he only made a few squeaks. He said the other band members made squeaks also. Nanaw can't wait till the band concert on December 9. Nanaw had ordered a kid's cover for Chase's tablet at Nanaw's house and it came today but it was too small. So Nanaw returned it to Amazon through UPS. It turns out that Nanaw's new tablet is smaller than the one Chase uses, so the new case I ordered can work for Chase's tablet but his red one won't work for Nanaw's tablet. She'll have to figure something out. When Nanaw took Chase home, she got to see all the Advent calendars they have. Two for Chase (one has candy, one has toys) and one for the dogs (with dog treats).
