Christmas was really busy around here. I'm still trying to get back on track after so many late nights. We had lots of fun!
Saturday was Christmas with the Lanzs at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The first thing I found was the video golf game that Uncle Joe brought over from work. I talked about that for days. Then the people really started coming. Everyone just hung out and ate food. Once I discovered the cookie trays, I decided that I was hungry. When we sang Christmas carols and opened presents, there were around 60 family members there.
Sunday, Christmas Eve, was a more lazy day. We went to church in the morning and everyone napped in the afternoon. When we all finally woke up, we went and had a later dinner with Grandpa and Grandma McKeever. After dinner we watched Ocean's Eleven on Grandpa's HDTV, but mostly I played with toys.
Christmas Day was time for another big party. But not until we opened our presents and played for a while in the morning. It's a good thing that I decided at the last minute that it would be okay if Santa came to my house because he brought me a bike! It's a big bike that I can pedal around in my house and I even have my own helmet. I still need some help to pedal, but I'm trying to get the hang of it. I can get on and off the bike all by myself. Even though I was all worn out from playing, I still didn't want to take a nap. I wanted to go to Grandma Lanz's house and open presents. But Mommy said we couldn't go until I took a nap, so finally I went to sleep. When we got to Great-Grandma's house it was already crowded and noisy. I didn't want to go say hi, but after I saw Grandma and Grandpa I felt okay. Then I was playing and having fun with all the kids when it was time to go to Grandma Lanz's house. We had dinner with all my aunts and uncles and Joe's girlfriend, Kathy. Again I ate more cookies than dinner. After we opened presents I got to play the golf game again with Grandpa! When I made my own "sled bed" in Michael's new Christmas sled, Mommy decided it was time for us to go home.
Now that I'm back home, Daddy's been on vacation and we've all been playing a lot. I'm riding my bike, playing hockey with my new hockey stick, playing Thomas trains, testing out my new tool kit, doing lots of puzzles, and other stuff too.
