Nanny is leaving in the morning 🙁 Here’s some pictures of us in the wagon and getting ready for Pine Tavern!!!

I just love my little red wagon! I ask to take lots of rides, Nanny has even taken me on some! We’ve had a great time! I can even pull my stuffed animals around all by myself!

Nanny and Grandpa are back!!! We’ve had a great time reading, playing, but especially dancing!!! Elvis is becoming my favorite artist and I frequently roam around saying “Hound Dog…Hound Dog” I even say it when they try to trick me playing other songs. We’ve had a great time, I don’t want them to leave! We’re definitely going to have to visit sunny FL soon!

What a crazy day! I got soooooooooooooo many presents (too many according to mom and dad) and got to see so many people!

Mom and I woke up and silly Grandma starting blaring Christmas music to wake up Dad, Poppy, and Aunt Beth. Then the fun began! I didn’t really rip into my presents, I calmy opened them with help from mom, but I sure was excited. Each time I opened a gift I had to play with it for a while before I was ready to move on to all the others. Some of my favorites were a laughing gorilla from Aunt Beth and a horse pogo from Grandma and Poppy. Mom’s favorite was the huge toy box they gave me! I named my horse “Neigh” and rode and rode it.

I had a huge breakfast and enjoyed my first helping of scrambled eggs, and boy did I clean up! Then we headed to Mal and Pap’s. A snowman family greeted us, thanks for making those Harvey! After visiting a while Nanny showed up and suprised Mal! It was awesome to see her so happy! Then we opened even MORE presents, mom doesn’t think we have a house big enough for everything I have. Aunt Rhonda, among many things, gave me some really cool puzzles I am enjoying, they make noise! She also gave me a singing bear which now has to go to bed with me! After opening Rhonda’s presents I was quite tired, so we had some dinner. I ate and ate and ate, mostly beans! Everyone was impressed with the food I could put away! After dinner: more presents!

Mal and Pap gave me my favorite present of all: a little red wagon!!!! My eyes lit up like saucers when Pap brought that out of the bedroom. I immediately wanted to hop in a take a ride. All day long I was saying “little red wagon….little red wagon” everyone thought it was hilarious! Driving home I feel asleep in the car and in my sleep said “little red wagon” mom and dad just laughed and laughed!!!

We had a wonderful time visiting and being together. Mom and Dad have taught me that family means everything and I definitely feel the immense love of my family every day! They love relentlessly and it has made mom and dad better people because of the love of our family. I think Mom and Dad finally have learned the real meaning of Christmas, it is love, and I could not ask for anything more!

This is shaping up to be quite a holiday! For Christmas Eve we went to GG’s house for dinner and to exchange gifts. I ate up the sandwiches and even ate 4 huge red pepper slices! Everyone gets a kick out of what a diverse eater I am, I’m definitely my father’s son.

GG really liked the pictures of me and I had a great time playing with the truck she gave me. I mostly liked playing with all of GG’s holiday singing animals! Later, when we got back to Grandma and Poppy’s I layed out cookies for Santa. I kept saying “Santa…cookies….Santa….cookies” I even remembered to look the next morning, and the two days after that! What a great time we’ve had together!

Nanny came up on Tuesday 12/21 to see me for Christmas! It was a wonderful suprise! She brought me Grinch and Max stuffed animals, some socks, an Elmo backpack, a toy laptop (for those long car rides I hate), and my favorite present: big boy boots! I LOVED these boots! Nanny said I was a real Floyd boy! I stomped and strutted around in those things, and whenever anyone asked me to take them off I shouted “Nooooooooo!” We had a great time playing, feeding Jag and Deputy, and especially dancing with Grandpa. I’m so lucky my Nanny came all this way to see me!!!! We’ll have a wonderful Christmas together! 🙂

I’ve been able to identify family members for a couple weeks, mom finally got a video!

What a great day! Mom AND Dad got to stay home with me because of all the ice we had! We had a super fun day doing all kinds of things! We read a lot, played, and made some crafts. Mom and I made a snowman and Dad drew me an amazing Santa! Tomorrow we head to the chiropractor, hopefully for the second to last time!

Not quite sure where Canton picked up this little trick…hopefully not foreshadowing of tricks in the future! 🙂

Rhonda sent me a special snowman shirt that I just love! I was happy to show it off to all my friends at daycare, I even cried when Dad took it off this evening. Thanks Rhonda! I’ll probably be able to wear my snow suit from Nanny this weekend!! Speaking of Nanny, mom was trying to get me to say “grandma” but I just decided that mommy’s mom was going to be Nanny. I even went to the computer today and said “Nanny please” to let mom know I wanted to Skype! Too cute! 🙂
