Merry Christmas Family and Friends!
Well, the stockings were hung, the tree was trimmed, and the house was all decorated and ready for Christmas. Mommy even found time to make Christmas cookies and treats. This holiday stuff sure is a lot of work and it was very busy! It all started a few weeks ago, with Grammy's side of the family in the Dells. We didn't stay at the amazing hotel we stayed at a few months ago, but we stayed at one where we could swim in their fun pool. We stayed in the Dells for just one night. Grammy's family is SO big, that we have to stay at a hotel just to get everyone together!
Me and Daddy were getting ready for the gift exchange. I am sitting here so patiently!
My time finally came and cousin Stella gave me this super funny ball popper. I just loved watching the balls zoom around the tube and pop out of the top. I laughed and laughed at this thing!
I must have worn myself right out. I fell asleep on Mommy's lap and didn't even get to meet this Santa guy that everyone raves about. At least my first picture isn't of me screaming and crying! He looks pretty friendly in this picture. He came all the way from the North Pole to the WI Dells for our Christmas party! What a guy!!!
We drove home on some bad roads on Sunday and Mommy was really happy that she only had two days of school. Unfortunately, at her Monday night soccer game, she badly sprained her ankle and called Daddy to take her to the ER. I got to go see neighbors Dan and Nancy until Grammy came and picked me up. Mommy had to take the day off on Tuesday to recover and she even needed crutches for the first few days. She now just hobbles around the house and makes funny faces. On Christmas Eve, we went to church and Grammy met us there too. We came back to our house and had a big dinner (well, I probably just ate the same ol' stuff). I was really excited because Daddy kept talking about Santa coming to our house that night. I must have been sleeping again, because I never saw him come. The next morning we had lots of wonderful presents. I really love this holiday!
Here's Grammy giving me lots of kisses and hugs!

Here are the two gifts I made for Mommy and Daddy at daycare. They said it was their favorite gift ever. WOW!
Here I am on Christmas morning in my jammies. Some of my many gifts included new roll a rounds (for the dragon toy), books, a chime ball, my first tackle box, clothes, trucks/cars, bath toys, PJ's and more! Mommy and Daddy are trying to find a place for all of my new toys (and no, they are not putting on an addition to our house) 
I loved eating the paper and bows!After our own little Christmas party,we went to Grandma Carla's and Jamie's house for Christmas with them and Samantha and Maggie, Auntie Stef, Uncle Bruce, Uncle Jim and Karri, and cousins Lexi and Sam.

Cousins Lexi (she has no front teeth, just in time for X-mas) and Sam! Aren't we cute!?!?!

More fun presents... wooden toys, little boots, clothes, and Christmas money for my saving's account, yeah!
Getting so sleepy from all the gift openings, food, and people!
I have to say that Christmas around here is C-R-A-Z-Y! We have so many people in our families and we travelled all over WI and MN to see everyone. It was lots of fun but it sure is nice to be home with all of my new toys! Happy Holidays and talk to you soon! Caden
