Christmas and Christmas and Christmas and...

PRESENT TIME!! I think I have said this just about every morning since our first Christmas last weekend. I have loved every minute of this great holiday and even more so because it has been extended for more than just one day.

Christmas #1 was at Grandpa and Grandma Adler's house on Sunday the 21st. We had a big lunch, I didn't eat, I was afraid I might miss something (like opening presents). Then we opened tons of presents. I got clothes, Thomas stuff, books, puzzles, pretty much anything a boy my age would need. Mommy, Daddy, and I also announced our big news to the family. Then we played games and in the basement-my favorite place at their house. I did eat a few cookies, yum!

Christmas #2 was in Valpo at Bama and Bumpah's Raschke's house. We got there on Christmas Eve and played games and ate snacks and I got to open my presents from Mommy and Daddy. I had so much fun unwrapping and handing Mommy the tiniest pieces of paper ever. I got some trains, race cars, books, clothes, and a Wolverine. We also told them about the new baby. Then we went to Church to listen to the story about Baby Jesus. I love the water cooler at church, I made 4 trips to it. After church we had dinner and put out cookies and milk for Santa and went to bed.

Here Mommy!

Christmas Jammies!!

Help Bumpah.

After we went to Church

When I woke up on Christmas morning, I couldn't wait to see if Santa had visited me. Earlier in December I told Mommy that Santa wouldn't come because I was bad, but hopefully I had made up for it. When I walked out back, WHOA!

Check out the loot

My stocking was packed.

Everyone else got their stocking and presents from Santa too. I was so happy to have made the nice list. After we cleaned up it was time to get ready for Christmas #3.

Christmas #3 was with all the Raschke family. Mimi and Papa came early and I surprised them with news about the baby and showed them all my new presents. Then cousin Erica and her boyfriend Paul, cousin Hannah, and Aunt Annie came, then Uncle Al, Aunt Rhonda, Greg, Cory and his girlfriend Melissa, Stacy, David, and baby Devin, and crazy Uncle Don and Heather got there. I have never seen so many presents! We had some snacks and visited and then it was present time again. Devin and I got to go first, then all the big guys got to go. Then we had dinner and dessert and everybody went home.

Look at all this

We were supposed to go to Haubstadt for Christmas #4, but we got stuck in Valpo because of the bad weather. I really missed seeing Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Adler and my cousins. I heard that everyone had fun but we wished we could have joined in. Hopefully next year! Merry Christmas Everyone!
