Holiday Break...

There it is. Christmas has come and gone.
I told Maman this morning that I was hoping tomorrow was Christmas Eve and not New Year's Eve. I certainly was counting the days and for the big day and I got to have it twice.

But my first gift was that my sister came for a visit. I was SO excited. And, as you know if you read this blog, my way of showing my excitement once the person is actually in front of me, is to act weird and hide. Lilian is very cute though and they were all cooing over her while I was doing the background entertainment.

It was a fun day and I even got my first present with Tina, Casey and Lilian:

Soon enough it was the 23rd and it was the day Santa was visiting me in Oregon since he knew I would not be home on the 25th.
I had fun presents: Uncle Dan's gift had arrived and here it is:
This is very fun... although I did not play much with it yet because the adults seem to take a hold of it before i have a chance. And since they are better than me at it, I am a little intimidated to try right now. Papa has a record of 60 in a row! See him in the video below...

The one gift Santa gave to me is really cool... Papa loves it too and he has been helping me build great structures with it:





Then came the time to hit the road and fly to Grandpa and Grandma's place in AZ. And yes, Santa also delivered there. Quite an amazing guy if you ask me.
And since i have been mainly well behaved ( hum, hum) all year long, he got me what I wanted: check it out:
 The books: Merci Papi et Mamie!



And my most favorite: Lego Brickmaster...
But you can see all that in the little video below...



Grandma made great food for us during our stay and we enjoyed a lot of great meals. Yummy! I of course chose mealtime to show my best behavior. You know what I am talking about right? The kind of behavior that lands you on the floor for thoughtful thinking and reflection. That kind.

But if was also a lot of fun and thanks to a fabulous December weather, we were mainly outside  enjoying the views.

There is even a little video with our adventures...


It was hard to come back to grey Oregon after all that sun; Maman was sure right to enjoy it while she could. She spent our first day back cooking: 5 hours = 11 meals...


And to end this post, here is a video showing a Bop It competition between me and Dad and a Moneky bar competition... Although the later was not much of a competition since Papa could not do it. He said it was too low, but hey, he could admit he could not. Anyway, I was mighty proud because it's the first time I am able to make it to the end of the bars.
I hope you enjoy my goofy signature moves at the end of my performances. That's all for now.

Happy New Year to all!
