A few of my favorite things...

Hangin' with cousins...

(The Leavitts and Alec)

Laptops in color...

and playin' in my new tent...

Mini match box cars...

...and eggs Christmas morn',

These are a few of my favorite things.

Opening presents the morning of Christmas...

Saying "hi-yo" on a flashlight, my new "phone"...

Sitting in laps of the prettiest girls,

...These are a few of my favorite things...

Kissing Caroline,

Loving Ansley,

Wearing her pink shoes...

I simply love Christmas and all that it brings,

And now I'll wait one more year.

I Saw Mommy High-5 Santa Clause

I've been hearing all this stuff about the guy who says "ho ho ho," my new favorite thing to say, so I got together with some of my friends to go meet him.

Turns out, I love playing with my friends, but I wouldn't even get near enough Santa for a picture that day.

Instead, I decided that telling Grandma what I want for Christmas would suffice.

Boy did she listen! Every new gift she and Grandpa gave me, I couldn't contain my joy and I exclaimed, "Ohhhh-booooy!" every time I opened one at our early Christmas celebration.

But mom thought she'd try one more time.

She got me all cleaned up...

And introduced me to the man behind the beard.

"No," I said, resisting the jolly man.

So mom held me while he asked what I wanted for Christmas.

It turns out, though, that he's not that bad.

In the end, I gave him a high-five and told him, "Take-eww" for being so nice.
