Christmas Evening!

Our little family....
Would you STOP taking pictures?!

CANDY!!! (My favorite new word!)

Perfecting the fine art of present opening!

Who was more excited that this truck has a SIREN? Mommy or ME?!

Whew!!! I was tired from such an exciting day... so I took a nap and missed a good part of the Christmas afternoon/evening festivities. My great Aunt Dur and Uncle Jeff and cousins came over along with Mama Vee and Uncle P for dinner and MORE presents. I got some cool stuff... but I was mainly interested in flirting with Matt and Jon's hot women!!! :) Whew!! I was tired.... but I'm not done with Christmas yet.... my Grandma Marilyn and Grandpa Robert weren't feeling well enough to join the celebration on Christmas Day.... so we've still got a make-up Christmas coming our way!!! I LOVE the holidays!!!

More Christmas... with my GREAT grandpa Harold

Feeding Mimi endless treats!

YUM!!!


Hanging with Papa Harold.

I get away with all kinds of stuff when my great grandpa's around!

Tickling Papa Harold with the kitchen tongs....

Family continued to pour in on Christmas Day! Daddy picked Papa Harold up from Hemet a little bit early... I entertained him until the rest of the guests arrived. I especially loved it that he brought his doggie (kitty!) Mimi along. She actually let me feed her treats. Our ungrateful kitties never seem to want any of the goodies I offer them... but Mimi gobbled up all of my offerings.... corn chips, pretzels, cookies, cat food..... I loved visiting with Mimi and my great grandpa!!

Christmas Morning!!

Mommy and I in our new jammies....

Daddy and I love fire! (And flamethrowers!!)

I got a box of LIGHTS from Santa!!

Happy Christmas baby!

I opened Mommy's present for her... then carried it all over the family room.

Looking for presents!


Playing symphonies on my new piano!

Sampling Mommy's See's candy! YUM!

Working one of my new puzzles...

Opening gifts with Daddy...

Another favorite present - a surge protector with night lights.... COOL!

Tearing into a present!!!

On Christmas morning, I got up a little earlier than normal (what kid doesn't?!) Mommy and Daddy and I ripped through our presents from Santa, then had breakfast together. I had fun ripping open all of the presents (even the ones that weren't to me!) ... and I discovered that I love See's Scotchmallows ... just like Mommy! I stole one out of her box while she wasn't looking!!! YUM!!

Christmas Eve!

COOOOOOOL!!! I love my new bristle blocks!


Builderizing!!


Doesn't EVERY kid have this toy?

Roughhousing with Uncle P!

Trying on Mommy's pearls....

I think I am the luckiest baby in the world! I got to celebrate Christmas about a zillion times!! On Christmas Eve, Mama Vee and Uncle Paul came over for dinner and some present opening. Guess who got most of the gifts?! I must have been a VERY good boy this year!

Christmas Cookie Monster!

Double-fisted cookie action!

I'm trying to look innocent (but that's difficult with fudge running down my face and frosting on my shirt!)

Another day.... another cookie invasion!

Smiling with my mouth full...

SUGAR RULES!!

I LOVE cookies!!!! While my daddy was on the phone, I climbed up onto the granite and helped myself. Oh yeah... there was fudge there too!! MMmmmm.... I love Christmas goodies!

Baby Sister!

Practicing sweet big-bro kisses!


Showing the baby my favorite Christmas toy so far ...

Yay for Team Pink!!

What an exciting weekend! My parents and I were SO surprised to find out that I will be joined in the family by a new baby SISTER in June! I know my mommy is thrilled because now she'll have someone who will actually appreciate being dressed up in pink and having bows in her hair! :) I am excited to meet my little sis -- and I'm already practicing being a good big brother!!!

Christmas Part I

Modeling my new vest -- it matches Uncle P's!

Taking a break from unwrapping presents to smile with Mommy!

Fake smile by the Christmas tree!

Getting into Grandpa Larry's present! (He didn't mind!)

Helping GPL build my new toy!

We celebrated Christmas this weekend with Grandpa Larry, Ahntee Suz, Auntie Lynn, and Uncle Paul. I had a great time tearing into presents (even if they weren't my own!) - and I loved playing with my new toys, modeling my new clothes, and trashing all of the boxes that were left behind! It was wonderful to spend the day with my family! (And being spoiled by everyone didn't feel too bad either!) :)

Very ArtiZtic!

Hard at work on my masterpiece!

Brandishing my crayon!

Art is FUN!
More coloring!
Hamming it up for mommy!

I LOVE to color! Usually, my coloring ends up all over the table and the floor because regular size paper is just too small to contain my creativity! Auntie Elaine sent a box full of Christmas presents and inside were some HUGE sheets of white packing paper - a PERFECT canvas for my artistic abilities!!! Too bad that these are to big to frame - they will be worth bucks someday!

Christmas Shoot with Kim!

My parents and I headed to the Arboretum about a month ago to take our family Christmas pictures. Now, I know I'm good-looking, but even *I* was impressed with how amazing she made me look!!! Here are some of the proofs!! Which one did they pick? You'll have to check your mail box to find out! (That is, if they can remember to buy the darn stamps when they're out running errands! hee hee!)
