Christmas 2009

So much to say, Christmas has come and gone, New Years has come and gone, a trip to Chicago has come and gone. Mommy and Daddy planned a trip to Chicago for Christmas and we had to leave early Christmas morning for the flight. We celebrated Christmas at our house on Christmas Eve. Daddy had to work on Christmas Eve, but only for half the day. When he got home we got to open presents. I got a lot of nice things from Santa, Mommy, Daddy, Charlie, and Dee. I asked Mommy why I had gotten gifts from Santa on Christmas Eve and she told me he knew we were leaving early in the morning and came the night before to deliver my gifts. He is such a nice guy.

Christmas morning we jumped on the flight to Chicago and had no problems. We spent Christmas day with Grandma and Grandpa Taylor and the rest of the family. Everyone was excited to see me and couldn't wait to play with me. I again got a lot of great toys and was able to play with them with everyone.

The day after Christmas we drove up north to see Uncle Lance, Aunt Dyan, Max, Uncle Brian, Aunt Robin, Drake, and Savanna. It was nice seeing all of them and playing at their house with their toys. Max and I had a lot of fun playing with his new Thomas the Tank Engine toys. Drake and I played with some of his new toys also. He got Rock 'em, Sock 'em Robots and other games. Uncle Brian was out working because there was about 10-12 inches of snow, but he was able to come home for dinner and we were able to see him.

The rest of the trip was spent hanging out and visiting with some of Mommy and Daddy's friends. With all the snow on the ground, Daddy took me outside to play in the snow. By play I mean I had Daddy pull me around in a sled in the snow. Mommy took a lot of pictures and also took a video, I have put it below, so you can check me out in the snow.

We flew back to Tucson on New Years Eve, Mommy had to work that night and Daddy had to work the next day. I asked if I could stay up until midnight to celebrate the new decade, but Mommy and Daddy said no. So I went to bed early and celebrated with Mommy the next day while Daddy was at work. So now we are all getting settled back in after traveling for the holidays. Mommy and Daddy are busy trying to figure out where to put all my new toys and I am trying to figure out how I can play with all of them at the same time.

I have put some pictures below and had Daddy update the new photos on webshots. Also the video from playing in the snow is below too. Enjoy.

Love,
Jeremy
