Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Being in
Nederland, we missed the snowy white Christmas here in Frisco, but it snowed again yesterday for us. It was awesome staring out the back door at all the snow coming down. Last night I couldn't stand to stay inside, so I convinced Dad to take me out to throw snowballs. I wanted more, more, more! It was funny watching them poke holes in the blanket of snow.
Unfortunately this morning all the snow was gone :( Mommy and Daddy played with me all day though, and I think there are a few more days of fun to come. I thought it was about time to test some boundaries around this place, and I've been putting Mom through the wringer. The madder she gets, the more I laugh...
hehe. I win her back over though with lots of hugs and kisses, a flash of my dimples, and a few assorted phrases she thinks are adorable. You know, things like "pizza, pizza!; apple
nummy nummy; banana!." Last night she was trying to make me go to bed, so I told her "All done, mama. DADA! DADA!" I thought she would be mad, but instead she laughed and made Daddy take over. Anyway, I've been having a blast with all my new toys. I love playing some tunes and singing away on my new keyboard. One day, I'm gonna be a STAR!
I absolutely love climbing on everything (which is against the rules). I can even get all the way up in the
barstools. I've taken a few tumbles, but I've got some awesome bruises to show for it. Several have come from my piano stool, but I just can't resist the fun!
Daddy's new video game is fun to play, but I had to read the instructions and figure it out for him. I thought it was really complicated at first, but it turns out I was trying to read French! My favorite new video game is basketball because I love to JUMP when the player on the screen does. So much fun!
This afternoon the weather warmed up and I got to ride around the neighborhood on my new tricycle. Everyone that passed by commented on how much fun I was having and how big my smile was. Basically, I'm just having an awesome time, and I wish I could stay home and play every day!
Once we were done there, it was off to Nana's. All my cousins were there, and we opened tons of gifts. I carried around my golf clubs and played with Dylan on Peyton's new train. It was really hard to share, but I'm slowly learning. 
Then it was off to Aunt Mary Sue's house to see Poppy. We practiced building Thomas the Train out of blocks. So fun! 
After all that, I went back to Uncle Daniel's to get ready for bed. I really wanted to open a few more gifts first though, so I handed mommy the tape and my golf ball and she wrapped it up for me. I opened it at least a dozen times and thought it was great!! 
When I woke up on Christmas morning, Santa had come!!! I rode around inside on my new tricycle, played with my new puzzles, CDs, DVDs, and books.
Christmas is awesome. I was so happy that I decided to say "Cheese" and smile for the camera during breakfast. 
I wasn't as excited to put on my dress clothes for church, but everyone thought I looked very handsome. 
Nannie was proud of how well behaved I was during church, and afterward we headed to MaMa Collins' house for more presents! My cousin Tatum gave me some blocks, and we had a blast playing with them. 
I made sure to help everyong else open their presents too! 
After all that food and present opening, I was tuckered out. It was time for a snooze in the recliner after a very busy morning.
My day was not complete though. We made a few mores stops around town, and then I charmed my way into one more gift. Campbell had a present she was going to return, but I convinced Nana to just let me have it. 
I'm starting to think I can get whatever I want when I come down here to visit :) I hope everyone had as wonderful a holiday as I did, and thanks to everyone for all my fun gifts!!!
This afternoon the weather was beautiful, so Nannie took me outside to play. First we went down to the pier. I liked looking through the boards at the water. 
Then I wanted inside that boat!! I practiced driving and waving at the ladies. 
I explored every inch of that thing and even found some unexpected water in the cup holder. Uh oh!! 
We left the pier and headed onto the driveway. I pushed the wheelbarrow all over the place, climbed on the trailer, practiced driving the 4 wheeler and a tractor! I was a very busy boy! I even made my grandma's day by saying "Nannie!"
It has been a ton of fun, and I know tomorrow will be even better!
After running a few errands and getting my flu shot, it was back home for a day of play. I ate and ate and ate all day long. Mommy thinks I must be growing. I have to grow so I can be a big boy that follows Daddy everywhere. He was up in the attic today, and I did my best to get up there with him. Mommy kept pulling me down though :( 
I also spend a LOT of time reading my books. I read them at home, in bed, in the car, waiting in line at the doctor, really anywhere I can...even in a plastic bucket! 
I have been so well behaved staying away from the Christmas tree and presents that my parents got a little complacent, so I decided to make my move. I got the present I bought for Daddy and started to rip it open. Lucky for me, instead of getting upset, we decided to have our Christmas right then!!! Daddy got Meerkat Manor DVDs (which I love), and Mommy got her itunes gift card. I got a Handy Manny toolbox from my parents and my very own chair from Nannie. I LOVE THEM!!! 
I've heard there is more of this to come in the next week, and I cannot wait. A few more days to go!
On Saturday, most of the girls went to the ballet. Daddy, Campbell and I decided to stay home and play. We never get to hang out just the two of us, and we had a blast! 
Today we all loaded up and went to the driving range. This time I got to get out and play. Daddy and Mommy showed me what to do, and I thought it was awesome. I like getting the ball out of the hole, swinging the club, and being in charge of the flag. So much fun! 
One more week of school until 
They are going to be awesome! Some assembly was required, so we pulled out our handy tools and went to work. Things were going great until we tried to take the gas pipe apart. We were stumped because nothing was working and they were stuck!! 
We finally decided to call in the professionals, so we have to wait another week. In the meantime, we decided to have a farewell fire for the wood we had left in the garage. I thought it was great! Look at those flames! 
I've been keeping a good eye on it for Mom and Dad.
In other news, I've been biting again at school. Not everyday, but sometimes things happen. Other kids just get in my way and I snap! I'm getting much better at using my words though, so that should help. I was sick this past weekend, so Daddy kept me home on Monday. We had a blast rough-housing and goofing off. Peek-a-boo!!!
I see you!!
I'm also getting into the Christmas spirit with my elf hat and Christmas jammies. I've been pretty good about staying away from the tree, but I cannot wait to get my hands on all those presents. Not too much longer to wait!!
Now I've got to get my rest so I can finish out another busy week!!
