Candy canes!

Thanks, Grandma!!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

I love Christmakkuh.

This weekend I showed Mommy and Daddy what a big boy I am by eating on my very own. Today I had macaroni and cheese with my very own fork. Yesterday I had applesauce. Mommy has been trying to upload a video for 3 days and gives up. I'm sure I'll post something better soon.

Anyway, I was really sad that I couldn't go to my cousin's birthday party. So Mommy, Daddy and I went to Sydney's house to have latkes and Hanukkah presents.



Isn't she pretty?


She's funny, too.

Christmas is coming, the boof is getting fat

Mommy made Toll House cookies to celebrate decorating our Christmas tree! I've never had chocolate before and it was pretty good!



Do these pants make me look fat?



Cookie cuddles


I helped Mommy put our new ornament on the tree.




After dinner, I did a little running around in my HAT and PJs. Mommy wanted me to look at the camera, but I didn't!




But I got the giggles eventually.

All Good Things

Well, today was a fun one! First off, I met Santa AND the Grinch! I didn't know they hung out together. I really loved the candy cane that Santa gave me and I LOVE talking to him. I wasn't that interested in sitting on his lap as you can see, but walking around him and stopping to tell him a few things was terrific. I also enjoyed waving at him and giving him a five.






Here's where I'm telling Santa that he did an excellent job decorating the tree and that I really love the lights.



Who IS this guy?


THEN we went to McDonald's and I got my very first Happy Meal!! I surprised Mommy and Daddy by eating a LOT of fries. They've tried to get me to like fries a bunch of times, but I never have. I didn't really eat much of my cheesburger, though; Mommy spent a LOOONG time tricking me into eating little bites.











Here's where I made up a new funny game where I take a BIIIIG drink of water and then let it spill out of my mouth. Mommy thought that it was funny at lunch, but when I did it with my yogurt drink after dinner, it wasn't as funny to her.




I got my hair cut again today and had a 3 hour nap. We ate out at the BBQ place and had Hanukkah. Now, THAT's a good day.

Night 2: The Return of Hanukkah

Night number 2! I wore my new Santa hat for Hanukkah tonight.



My present tonight was a Jack in the Box that plays the Dreidel song!! Mommy calls it a Yiddle in the Box.




I like the guy that pops up after the song is over. He is wearing a HAT.

I didn't eat much dinner tonight, but afterward, Mommy and I took some cute pictures.




Mommy says the best part of her day today is when we were all in bed this morning and I was kissing her on the lips, saying "MMMWWWAH!" She's silly.

Chappy Chanukkah!

Grandma and Michael came to visit me today!! I said one of my catchphrases "Ah ah ee" and laughed and Michael did it, too, and it was SO FUNNY! It was so great to play and play with Grandma and Michael.

Then G.G. came over and I couldn't get enough of her. When Daddy came home we lit the candles for the first night of Hanukkah.



Then we had lots and lots of presents! Mommy and Daddy gave me a Chanukah bugs book - it was GREAT. And Grandma and Michael gave me a really cool shopping cart and groceries and a toolbench and a sweater and a book and lots of great stuff!



Then we went out to dinner and I loved Daddy's meatloaf until Mommy fed me some with spicy barbeque sauce on top. That tasted hurty and I cried a little and stuffed my hands in my mouth to stop the burning. Ow.

Happy Hanukkah!
