Joy to the World

It's Christmas! At last, after all the anticipation of the big day, it's finally here. Mommy, daddy, and I were up early to get the turkey on the grill... well actually only daddy was up early doing that; mommy and I were with him in spirit but our bodies were still in the bed.

Once we got up and had some breakfast (cereal, cinnamon bread, and banana yogurt) we opened presents.

There were quite a few of them with my name on them from the big guy himself (that's Santa, in case you didn't know) but I was mostly interested in the Veggie Tales book I got. Later I got interested in my stocking stuffers and puzzles but the morning belonged to King George and his Duckies.

My Atlanta cousins, grandma, great uncle, uncle, and aunt all came over to have dinner and play. We had a great time and everything was yummy.

Now I'm off to bed so mommy and daddy can do the last of the dishes.

Today was really fun. I wish everyday could be like this. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas too. Talk to you later.

Today in Tucker

Today was my usual day, you know-- breakfast, playing, napping, lunch, more playing, etc. Just the usual baby stuff. We baked cookies Sunday night for mommy's co-workers and last night we baked cookies for daddy's co-workers. Apparently Christmas brings the opportunity for lots of sweets and delicious baked goodies. I got to try a gingerbread cookie and a chocolate chip one too.

I went to Ms. Megan's today to play with Amber, Kate, and Sarah; we had a blast. I've learned to sing 'twinkle, twinkle, little star' ... one day mommy may be able to catch it on video and show to you. Everytime I see her with the camera, I stop singing to go see what's she's doing. Maybe one of these days I'll let her make the video, you never know.

I'm down to one nap a day now; good for me, not so good for mommy and daddy. I get a lot more playing in, they get even less done. I don't think they mind... I'll go ask. Talk to you later.

Photo Shoot

Mommy was off work this past week and we had a fabulous time together. I helped her decorate the house for Christmas. If you can believe it, she actually put trees in the house! But they weren't regular trees, no, these trees came out of bags from the basement and they have lights all over them. After she added the sparkly ornaments to them they were beautiful. I helped with positioning the ornaments to keep them away from Pouncer and Cleo... and easily in my reach. There's a white, gold, and silver tree in the big living room but my favorite tree is the one with the colored lights in the family room. It's got great ornaments on it too. There were so many it was hard to pick a favorite so I made it a point to touch them all.

After the trees were up, mommy kept trying to take my picture by them. She tried first by the living room tree but I wouldn't cooperate (her words, I thought I was being pretty workable) so she switched to the tree in the family room. Her goal, she said, was to get a good shot of me to put in the Christmas card... doesn't she know every shot is a good one?

Anyway, after about 30 minutes of trying (gotta give her points for perserverance) she got the one you saw at the beginning of today's posting. But lest you think that came easy, here are the ones she didn't use. Hope you're enjoying the second sunday of Advent. Talk to you later.

Even More Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was such a wonderful holiday. My cousins came over in the afternoon and played with me. It was so much fun. They read to me, sang songs, carried me, crawled around on the floor, and generally let me take over. Who wouldn't love that?!

Here are some pictures from my wonderful day. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well. Talk to you later.
