Christmas '09

Your 2nd Christmas was so much fun! You were able to enjoy all the lights and decorations this year! You were so well minded when it came to tugging and pulling on the Christmas tree. You were fascinated with all the decorations and told the Christmas tree and Frosty outside goodnight every night before heading to bed!
In fact, it has been a sad time for you to see "Frosty" go as you really looked forward to watching him outside!

This holiday season was full of fun with lots of family to see! Nana & Papa had family over on Christmas Eve. There, you were able to see the entire Squier family-Great grandma Sally, Granpa Bill, Uncle Erin and Garrett, Great-Grandma Joyce, Thomas and Diane, Aunt Shirley, Auntie Toni and Ariana. You loved showing off, dancing for everyone! You received your first gifts from Santa there. You opened balls to play with, books, dishes and your favorite...A Diner-you can cook just like Daddy does now! You enjoyed pretending to serve food to Ariana as she stared at you in amazement of all that was going on! It was a busy night and as usual, you were a champ, but it was time to get to bed....Santa was coming soon!! *Daddy made sugar cookies and hand cut the shapes for you to leave for Santa!

Christmas morning you awoke to a yummy breakfast of fruit and then were off to open presents from Mommy & Daddy and see what Santa left! I can't go through all that you got, but you enjoyed playing on the 4 wheeler, magna doodle, trying on your shoes, you even enjoyed opening your potty and clothes!!

You got a short break, helping daddy fix his yummy Christmas breakfast before everyone arrived to our house for brunch. We all sat down, and ate a fabulous brunch prepared by Daddy! I hope this becomes a tradition for sure! Then came the truck load of toys that Santa left at Grandma & Grandpa Curries! There were so many presents, you didn't know which way to turn! You opened a basketball goal, a tee ball set, keyboard, remote control cars, blocks, books, stuffed animals, Elmo, tricycle and so much more!

We had to quickly put away Christmas decorations in order to find room for all your new, fun toys! You are so special to all of us and we have all spoiled you rotten!

Mommy can't wait for you to start using your potty, but in the meantime, keep bringing us books as we love reading to you! It is so nice to watch the sparkle in your eye as you play with all your toys and enjoy each of them all the same!

On a side note, you have started saying new words....I think Daddy has been secretly teaching you while you have stayed with him the past week. You will now say "Sponge Bob", "Nana", "Papa", "banana" and are using "No" meaningfully. :-)

Here are some pictures of the last week!
