Merry Late Christmas!  Mommy was so busy with school this year that I almost didn't get to visit Santa.  Thank goodness a nice family in Pacific arranged for him to visit them and shared that with everyone in the community!  I got to say hi to him on December 23rd.  I put my pretty Christmas dress (from Grandma Terri & Grandpa Vince) on and said, "Hi."  But I would not get near him.  Mommy had to coax me over there and stay with me.  She said that's okay...although, she would have liked to get a picture of just me and Santa...maybe next year.  Santa's elves were giving out candy canes!  They were all so nice!

Christmas Eve was spent at my Grandma Terri's and Grandpa Vince's house as usual.  We go there every year and it's been fun so far.  There are a lot of kids in the family so we get to play a lot.  That's fun, but so is all of the candy and cookies that Grandma Terri puts on the table.  It's all within my reach...just the way I like it.  I didn't want to eat regular food because the sweets were so good.  Every time Mommy or Daddy would think I was playing with the other kids I would sneak back to the table and get more sweets.  YUM!  Maybe next year I will have more control.  We'll see.

Christmas Day was so wonderful!  We took forever to open all of the gifts because I wanted to play with each one as I opened it.  I got this Leapfrog Tag pen that is really neat!  It talks when I touch a page in one of the special books.  I also got a couple of board games that I love to play!  Mommy loves this because she always enjoys playing board games.  Daddy also made a ham and Grandma Georgia came over for dinner.  That was really nice!  After dinner we went to Uncle Vince's and Aunt Renee's house to exchange gifts.  They gave me a computer game that has stuff to hook up to the computer and play...I love, love, love it!  We gave Katelyn something to look at the stars, but we couldn't use it that day because it was so cloudy.  We gave Kassidy an electronic chess game and Daddy taught her how to play chess.  He said she did a very good job and he didn't even take it easy on her because she was really good and he didn't need to.  Brock got a fishing pole because Uncle Vince loves to fish, so that is something they can do together.  Peyton got the movie Matilda, but hasn't watched it yet.  I hope she likes it. 

All in all I was pretty into Christmas this year.  I bet I will be into it even more next year!!
