I had the best time this Christmas. On Christmas Eve, we went to Uncle Spike and Aunt Stacey's house and I got to play with cousin Sophia all night - that was a lot of fun. Grandma and Grandma M were also there and we ate lots of delicious food. I really liked the calamari, smelts, Spike's venison jerky (unfortunately, so did Mylo the dog) and of course the scalille. One the way home, I fell asleep in the car, but Dad remembered to put cookies and milk out for Santa and some carrots and celery for the reindeer. When I woke up in the morning, I looked outside and saw that it had snowed! A white Christmas morning was pretty exciting. Then we all went downstairs to find that Santa stopped by and left the presents I'd asked for - trains! Plus some other cool stuff, like a game called Cootie and a Batman action figure! I spent the rest of the morning playing with trains, Lego blocks, coloring and winning consecutive games of Cootie (rolling dice and building a plastic bug). Then G'ma n' 'Pa L, Uncle Mike & Aunt Sheila and Uncle Eric came over and the fun really began. We sat by the fire and played and joked and watched Christmas specials on video and ate more yummy food that Mom cooked. And then I opened even more presents, like a Lightning McQueen racecar that turns into a jet, a Hot Wheels track for my cars and a huge (and I mean huge) military cargo plane. It was so much fun and great to be able to see so much of my family. They love me tons and I love them.

All aboard the Polar Express
I took a ride on the Polar Express tonight with Mom, Dad, Uncle Blue, Aunt Shanni and Aiden! It was pretty cool. There were lots of characters from the book/movie on board, we got to eat cookies and drink hot chocolate, took a ride to the North Pole and even got a visit from Santa!

Victorian Stroll
On Sunday, we went to Troy for the Victorian Stroll. There were people walking around in fancy clothing, some really tall people on stilts, jugglers, reindeer and lots of Christmas decorations everywhere. I went inside one building where there were a whole bunch of trees decorated with candy and ornaments. There was also a table where I drew a picture of Santa and a Christmas tree. I signed my name to it and gave it to Santa (and gave him a high five)! He said that he has a really big refrigerator at the North Pole that he will hang it on! Merry Christmas, Santa.

Happy Christmas Eve
This is me and my cousin Sophia, at her house. Uncle Spike and Aunt Stacey invited us over for dinner and fun. Grandma and Grandpa were there, too. We watched football, opened some presents and played. I ate a little fried fish, called a smelt! It was pretty good.
Video email from the North Pole
Uncle Mike and Aunt Sheila asked somebody at the North Pole to send me an email, and he did! He knows if I've been bad or good...

Scalille
On Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpa M's house to make a delicious Christmastime treat that my Dad's Nani (my great-grandma) used to make. Dad told me what they're called. It sounds like "scoweila". He searched for them on the computer and the closest name he found was Scalille. One site called them Christmas fritters. They originated in Calabria, Italy, where some relatives on Dad's side of the family are from. I don't always remember the name, but when I ask for "one of those sticky honey cookies," you'll know what I'm talking about.

Santa!
I brought my friends Woof-Woof and Edward to see Santa this morning and told him what I wanted for Christmas. He knew exactly what I was talking about and reminded me to be a good boy. Okay, Santa. See you soon.

Merry Christmas!
I had a really great Christmas Eve with Mom + Dad, Cousins Sophia and Sierra, Aunt Stacey, Uncle Spike, and G'Ma + G'Pa M. On Christmas morning I got to play with the gifts that Santa brought! Then I headed up north to Grandma 'n 'Pa L's for more Christmas fun!

Guess who I met today?
Santa!

Honestly, I'm not sure what I think. He was nice enough, I guess, and he didn't make me cry or anything. It looked like he was wearing some sort of big red pajamas and he had this crazy, white beard. Dad told me to ask him to bring me an "official Red Ryder carbine-action two-hundred-shot range model air rifle." I didn't, because I'm not even sure what any of that means.

Christmas is coming...
Only 26 days away! I guess this Snoopy & Woodstock piano is my first gift. Grandma L got it for me, to help get me into the holiday spirit. I like to press the button and move to the music while watching Snoopy play. Dad said he'll play the Charlie Brown Christmas CD for me when we decorate the tree.
