Christmas Recap

Let's just put it this way... I'm still tired. But a good tired. More of a I've been partying for a week tired.

So let's see, what have I been up too? Well, dodging blizzards, staying inside because it was -40 wind chill outside, going to parties, getting sick, getting presents, eating cookies, meeting Baby Harper, giving her a puppy, getting a puppy back from her, playing with relatives, getting presents, hosting parties, getting presents, listening to the Black Keys, getting presents, playing with presents and opening presents.

I think that covers it in a nutshell.

Since Mommy had to work, Daddy and I went up to Grandma and Grandpa's to start the season without her. Naturally, we had a party right away. It was tons of fun, cuz I got presents and my cousin Dan taught me how to drum.



I also got my first experience with Christmas Cookies and Candies. While they tasted good going down, they didn't taste as good coming up at one in the morning... all over Daddy.

So, yeah, I was kinda fighting a bug most of the week.



But I feel much better now. And in all actuality, it didn't stop me from partying. Which is what did more of when Mommy showed up. On Christmas Eve, we had a whole new crew show up, and they brought food and presents too. (Although this time I went a little easy on the cookies)

It was lots of fun - I got some books and a backpack to put all my stuffed animals in. Now I don't have to leave any behind.

Then the next morning, we had more presents. You know that Santa guy? Well, apparently he felt bad about the way he scared me at Mommy's Work Christmas party, cuz he stopped by when I was sleeping and left a ton of presents.




Then, we had to pack up everything and go home. Man, our car was full of awesome.

When we got there, Grandma and Grandpa were there and so were Megan and John. Naturally, we had another party. With more presents.

Grandma not only got me a present, but a whole kitchen!!! It is set up downstairs and I spend most of my days making food for Daddy. I figure with all the stuff he as made me, it's only fair.



Then, after the weekend was over, everybody went home. When Daddy came into my room yesterday morning to get me up and I realized it was just me and him again, it was kind of a shock to the system.

Back to the grind, I guess.

Christmas Break

I'm out for Christmas Break, so have a Happy Holidays!!!

We Missed Out

Well, I was supposed to go to the Children's Museum with Rosie today, but her Mommy's car broke and she couldn't come. Bummer.

So Daddy and I went anyway. It was fun, as always, but there was nobody there. Seriously. It was like a Ghost Children's Museum.

You could play with anything you wanted. But when you are the only kid in the room, it kinda loses it's luster. Now, if Rosie had been there with me, we would have owned the place. It would have probably been the best ever.

Oh well, maybe next time.

Going Fast Down a Hill

Daddy and I took the sled outside today.

WOW!

I mean, I thought the sled was fun in the living room. You can sit in it, and well, you know, that's about it. But it is still cool.

BUT, if you take it outside and put it on a snowy hill, the fun increases by a factor of ten. Seriously. It was a blast. Sometimes I went down with Daddy. Sometimes I went down by myself.

The only problem is when you get to the bottom of the hill, you gotta walk all the way back up. Unless you have a Daddy to carry you, that is.

Snow and Cold

Well, its snowing lots and lots. Problem is that it is super cold out too.

Therefore, Daddy won't let me go out and play in the new snow.

Why would Mommy make me a hat, mittens and scarf if I can't use 'em?

Gettin' Silly

Had a pretty good weekend. I did get my first bloody nose (went beak-first into the bathtub, if you must know) but it's all good. I'm fairly tough, you know.

Anywho, my friend Jane came over on Sunday and we made some Christmas cookies. Well, to be perfectly honest, I mostly just played with Jane and let the Mommies and Daddies make the Christmas cookies.

But get this... I had to go take a nap before all the cookies were done. And knowing Daddy, I assumed that they would all be gone by the time I got up. But, my girl Jane had my back. Not only did she decorate a cookie just for me, but she saved it for me and left a nice note for me to read when I got up from my nap.

That cookie was good, yo.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Mommy took us to a party last night. Not bad... lots of kids. They had these chocolate covered strawberries that were AWESOME!!!

But the big highlight of the night was Santa Claus. He made a special guest appearance - kinda a sneak-preview engagement, I guess.

But anyway, he showed up with a couple elves (who were both well over 5' 6") and a big bag 'o toys.

We got in line to see him, but as we got closer I realized that it probably wasn't imperative that I actually sit on his lap. So I voiced my opinions on the subject.

Luckily, though, he was cool about it and still let me have a present. It was a puppy.

SWEET!!!

I do hope he will still show up on Christmas Eve, though. I did say "Thank You Santa" as he was walking out.
