Christmas 2007

Well, it's New Year's Eve, and I just wanted to share all my fun holiday times with you. Grandma Pat and Papa arrived on the 23rd in a sleigh full of packages! I couldn't keep my hands out from under the tree. They finally let me open one on Christmas Eve--a race track for my cars! I've already worn the batteries out. Christmas morning finally came and I guess I was a good boy this year, because Santa certainly didn't skip this house! He left me blue guitar, just like I asked for. I also got my very own wooden train set so I don't have to beg Mom to take me to the bookstore all the time. And can you believe that Santa knows I love popcorn! He left me a HUGE John Deere tin of popcorn--the cheese was my favorite. I got to play with my new toys for a while before we moved to the tree to open all the presents--they just kept coming! I got a really cool karaoke machine from the grands so I can bust out my Mike D talents, plus some neat clothes including a light up lightning McQueen sweatshirt. We ate all day long and played with all my new toys--that's my idea of a good time!
Mom and Dad took off the day after Christmas on a trip to the Big Apple--without me! But I got to stay with Pat and Papa who took very good care of me. Papa reads great stories, and Pat is a great cars player--I let her have the green car and I had all the rest. They learned a lot from me while they were here, like the fact that my Mommy is so talented--she made my clothes, the skylight in our house, my toys--I explained all of this to them. The day they came home, I was so excited to see them. Pat helped me make a welcome home poster that said Mommy and Daddy. I held it up outside when they came to the car. Mom and Dad had a fabulous time in New York. They saw almost all the sites including Rockefeller Center, the World Trade Center site, Wall St, Liberty and Ellis Island, the Met, Central Park, 5th Ave, and the UN. I'm glad I didn't go now, after they explained to me what they enjoyed doing. Who wants to get dressed up to sit and eat things like raw fish for three hours or walk around looking at paintings or meeting rooms all day? I guess they do because they seemed to really have a great time. I'd rather be playing cars with Papa and Pat! Here's the week in review.
