It seems like all of my life everyone has been talking about "Christmas" and I didn't even know what it was! Well, now I know, and I think I like it!

When we got up this morning, I got to open presents!!! I wasn't too sure how to get the paper off so Mommy helped me. Guess what was inside? A new toy! Mommy helped me get it out of the box and I got to play with it for quite awhile. Then Mommy made me put it down and open... another present! Can you guess what was inside? Another new toy! Oh man do I like this Christmas thing!

Well I played with that toy for quite awhile too. Mommy had another present for me, but I was too busy to open it. Then it was time to for us to leave and go to Aunt Denise's house. Grandpa and Grandma Bare where there, too, and Uncle Wayne and Aunt Mary. Everyone got presents, even me! By then I was getting the hang of this wrapping paper stuff, and got lots of great toys. The whole thing was BIG fun.

From there we were off to Grandma and Grandpa Graybill's house. We had a big meal (and more importantly, a nap!), and then... even more presents! It was great!

Tonight I am very tired, but what a great day. I think every day should be Christmas.

On most Fridays Mommy and I get up early in the morning and head off to school, but not today! Today we played hooky, and this morning Mommy finally turned my car seat around the right away!

Hooray! Now when we go somewhere in the car, I can actually see where we're going! I was getting so tired of only seeing where we've already been. For as long as I can remember I've been looking backwards, like a bumper sticker. Or one of those little toy dogs that sit in the back window with their head bobbing up and down.
