Now that all of our Christmas celebrations are done, I can get down to playing with all my new presents! Here's a rundown of our Christmas and New Year and all the fun we had:
On Christmas Eve we were at Grandma and Grandpa Lanz's house with all the rest of the Lanz family. We ate a lot of food, sang Christmas carols and played a gift exchange game. Then it was home to bed so we could be ready for the next day!
Christmas Day we got up and opened presents from Santa! I got a ball toss game, new books, and a stocking full of candy and toys! Who wants cereal for breakfast after starting your day with a marshmallow Santa? Not me! Then we packed up my new books and went to church.
Later in the day, after naps, we went to Great-grandma Weber's house. We played, ate more food, and then played another gift exchange game. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Lanz's for dinner and more presents! I got a sled from Uncle Joe, a snow shovel from Uncle Michael, and new pajamas and socks from Grandma and Grandpa. Mommy and Daddy stayed up late and played games but they made me go to bed even though I really didn't want to.
The week after Christmas we had McKeever Christmas at Ferry Point. There was a lot of fish cooking in those bubbly fondu pots but my favorite thing was the cheesy potatoes although lefse is great, too! Then there were lots more presents to open. Grandma and Grandpa gave me my new trike, some clothes, sippy cups, and a comfy little pillow just for me! From my cousins, Abi and Faith gave me paint stuff and Tiernan gave me a farm puzzle. Then I had to go to bed again while Mommy and Daddy got to stay up and have fun.
On New Year's Eve we went to the Hubers' house to celebrate. Daddy played with me and the kids downstairs and the grownups played games upstairs. Again there was a lot of food - especially black olives, my favorite! And again I had to go to bed while Mommy and Daddy stayed up and had fun. It's so unfair!
But now the fun really starts! I've had a few days now to stay home and play with all my new toys! I've been sledding and shoveling a lot because the weather has been nice and warm but the bad part is that the snow is melting too, so there's not as much to shovel. When I have to be inside I like to "dip" (or paint pictures, as my mommy would say) or "bump" and ride on my new trike or shoot baskets with my new ball toss game. I'm having so much fun that I've really been mad when Mommy and Daddy put me to bed even though I get to snuggle with my nice new pillow. There are just too many fun things to do when I'm awake!
