Holiday Fun!

Happy New Year's, everyone! I had a wonderful vacation back in Michigan with mom, dad and Emma. We were there for 2 weeks and had so much fun catching up with everyone. I loved seeing my uncle Matt and aunt Nikki and meeting their new puppy, Doozer. He gives the best kisses! Well, the best kisses next to Emma. I also got to spend a ton of time with grandma Bina and grandpa Cal. I just loved hanging with them in the morning while they drank coffee and talked with mom and dad. And the mornings got even crazier when my crazy uncle Marc got into town! He was so much fun to play with and don't worry, I don't believe any of the things you said to me (I know you can't get enough of me, just admit it!!). I also loved seeing my grandma Joyce and grandpa Terry. We had such fun hanging out and I loved watching mom and grandma play Mario Kart on Wii, what a great cartoon!

But nothing could prepare me for the chaos that was Christmas morning! There were so many presents!! And of course the cool paper and bright bows were my favorite part. Santa brought me a cool wagon that I can use to practice my walking skills on. I also got a musical cube that plays Mozart music when I push a button (mom says Mozart was a famous composer, but I just love the music that comes out of that thing!). Since I'm such a big fan of music, grandma Bina bought me the coolest little piano toy. It plays cool tunes and lights up when I push the keys and the best part is that I can carry it in my mouth. Grandma Joyce gave me the greatest wooden push mower which she hand-painted just for me! Trust me, it is soo much fun to play with and the noise it makes is nice and noisy (sorry Emma!)!

It was so fun being back in Michigan, but I hope we can fly there next time. The trip out there wasn't so bad, but it was just awful on the way back. From what I could see, it snowed the entire drive and I felt bad for poor dad since he drove the whole way. And can I tell you how much I hate being in my car seat for 13 hours?? I couldn't wait to get back home in my crib so I could stretch out. We got back in late Friday night and Saturday was just a weird day trying to get back on a schedule. Saturday night was great for all of us though: I slept 12 hours and dad slept 11 hours! And of course, Emma slept a lot more than that! It really is nice to be home, but I miss all my family already. Hope you can all come out to visit me soon!!!
