Wow -- this Christmas thing is pretty nice. Visiting with family and getting all kinds of great gifts. However like Mommy and Daddy, I enjoy giving gifts, too. I got lots of little girlie gifts and we all got Wii so we can have game nights here at home!

Twas the night before...

We kicked off the holidays today by hosting Mommy's family for dinner. Even I got in on the preparations -- mopping floor with Mommy and cooking with Mommy and Daddy (thank goodness for the baby snuggly carrier thingy). It was definitely a team effort.

After dinner, we enjoyed present exchange...and I got lots of goodies. Mommy doesn't want me to get spoiled but it might be too late thanks to our generous family.

After midnight Mass, I dressed in my Christmas pj's and left milk and cookies for Santa. Bring on the big guy!

Let is snow

I saw my first snow today. However, I soon realized that snow can be a 4-letter word around here because the city is slow to plow/salt and Mommy's Jeep Cherokee was out of commission. Although we were stuck at home, we couldn't build a snow man because there wasn't enough of the white stuff. Instead we worked in "santa's workshop" (aka the guest room) wrapping presents.

Santa Claus is coming to town

I met Santa today. I even pulled on his beard but I still think I'm on the nice list.

Show me the money

Mommy says it's never too early to start saving. So today, on my 1-month birthday, we visited Bank of America to set-up my first bank account. Let's just hope interest rates improve so I can see more gains in the coming months and years.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We put on our elf hats and got Christmasy over the weekend. I got to go to the Christmas tree farm to help Daddy cut down our tree. Mommy says it's an annual tradition and one day I'll get to work the saw. As was Mommy's family tradition, the little girl in the house gets to put the angel on the tree but this year I needed a little help. Our whole house now looks very festive with all the decorating we did. Luckily, we do not have outdoor electric sockets so our house won't be Clark Griswald-ed (Mommy says that's a very good thing!)
