Merry Christmas Everyone!

WOW-WEE!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I hope everyone had a good Christmas. We had a GREAT day here at my house! After all this talk about Christmas and Santa Claus, I finally got to see what all this fuss has been about. Santa Claus came to our house, just like Dad Dad said he would. When I came downstairs this morning, Mom & Dad kept saying "Who was here?", so of course, my first guess was our most regular visitor, Grammy. But then I saw a bunch of presents under the tree and remembered that Santa Claus had come! The first thing I saw was the new train set he left that was all set up for me! I ran right to it and started to play!


Mom and Dad wanted to open some other gifts, but I just wanted to play with my train. I did eventually decide to open some other gifts and I got a "Gordon" and "Percy" trains for my Thomas railway, and a Rocket ship from Little Einstein. It was then that I got this concept that if I open the gifts, I get new, cool things!! From then on, Mom and Dad didn't have any trouble getting me to open the rest of my gifts.

Teddy enjoyed his presents too! Some of his boxes were as big as him. He got some fun toys, but he really enjoyed the wrapping paper. Of course, he tried to eat it (like he does everything). Teddy got a Santa hat from Aunt Shel Shel that he wore almost all day. He looked super cute in it!

Later that morning, Papa and Gram Gram Peters came over to our house. Great-Grandpa and Grandma Young also came over! We had a nice brunch together.

I really had fun during brunch playing "peek-a-boo" with Papa. He sat on the other side of Gram and I would peek around her to say "Hi Papa!" over and over again!

After brunch, we enjoyed each other's company and opened some more gifts. We played with our new toys and looked at old photos from Great-Grandpa & Grandma Young's slides. There was lots of cute pictures of Daddy as a little boy!

Teddy and I were exhausted from all the excitement, so we took some long (and much needed) naps. When we woke up, everyone had gone, but the new toys were still here!! Daddy had made a yummy Turkey dinner for us, and before long, Grammy Peterson and Great Aunt Jean stopped by. They had just returned from Rochester where they spent Christmas at my Uncle George & Aunt Lou Lou's house. I showed them all my new toys and they even helped us open a few more that we hadn't gotten to yet.

This is our new wagon that Santa brought us! I can't wait until warmer weather when I can hitch it up to my John Deere wagon and tote around the yard!

Mom Mom said that one of the most important parts of Christmas is being together as family, and we saw a lot of family over the last few days. On Christmas Eve, we went to Canisteo and saw a lot of Dad's family and yesterday, we had a big gathering at Grammy's house with all of Mom's family. I will post some photos from those fun days this weekend for you all to see, and maybe some new video too! Right now, I need to get back to my toys! Until then, love and best wishes to everyone! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
