Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
I had a very eventful two weeks and I thought
I'd share some of my "firsts" with you!

I got my FIRST Elmo! Santa brought it to my house!
I knew he would listen to me when I talked to him
in the mall. As you can also see, I learned how
to clap! I can do this along with various songs such as
"If You're Happy and You Know It" and "Patty Cake!"

I got to go to my first Christmas party at day care and
meet Santa AGAIN! Mommy knew he was coming
so even though she had the day off, she let me
go to the party and give my friends presents!

I got to meet my third cousin Mason for the first
time. This is me with Mason and Great-Grandma.
Mason is just a couple months younger than me.
Don't we look related!? My mommy and his daddy
are cousins.

My first Christmas at Nana and Papa's house
was fun. I got fun things like a puppy and a cell
phone. I liked ripping the paper and eating it!

It was pretty close to bed time so this is how
I felt whenever Mommy took away the paper
I was eating! Christmas is a very emotional time!
This is my first Christmas temper tantrum!

Another first was being in the traditional family
Nativity Story. I was Baby Jesus while Rachel was
Mary and Mason was Joseph. There were many
shepherds, angels, and wise men too! I was pretty noisy!

This is my favorite Christmas present. I got a ton
of toys with batteries, but this bucket of blocks from
Mya is my favorite. I just sit at home and dump
them out, bang them together, chew on them, and
occasionally put them back in!

This is me with my first bit of jealousy.
I wish I could have a cool toy like Dalton's Nintendo DS!
I would probably just slobber on it right now.
Maybe when I'm older!

This is me and my cousins Makenzie and Dalton.
I'm a little pooped from opening so many presents!
Dalton gave me a wonderful present too! He gave
me a bunch of board books that he's too old for - Hooray!

From me, Daddy, and Mommy, we hope you had a
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Check back
soon so you can see how I'm "SOOOO BIG!"

Peace out!
