Merry Christmas!!!

I hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas!!! I know I did!!! We got quite a bit if snow last week, about a foot here!! It started snowing Tuesday night, and by Wednesday morning we had about 7 inches. Mommy and I went out to shovel the driveway and sidewalks, and then played in the snow with the doggies and kitty!! It was such a pretty snow! It snowed a little bit more after that, but on Christmas Day and that night it was so windy!! It blew the snow all over the place!! Some of our neighbors' fences were hidden by the GIANT drifts of snow that piled up. I guess that's what we get for living on the plains!! At least we got to have a White Christmas!!!

Christmas was great!! On Christmas Eve we braved the freezing temps and wind to go to church. Mommy and Daddy got to sing songs, and light candles, but I played in the nursery - I was the only kid there!!! Partly because of the weather, and partly because we went to the 7 pm service, and most of my friends went to the 5 pm service. But that's ok - I had three grown-ups to play with!!! Then we came home, and Mommy and Daddy made me go right to bed so Santa could come. I left him a big glass of milk and some Christmas Reese Cups, cuz Daddy said Santa would like those better than the cookies Mommy made (and I think it made Mommy mad!!) But Daddy was right!!! Those Reese's were all gone in the morning!!! And he left me a bunch of toys!!! I got lots of cars in my stocking (Doc Hudson, Mater, and Sarge from Cars), and a bunch of books too!! And even some candy - but I can only have 1 piece a day. Then I also got More Books from Mommy, and some big blocks from Daddy. Santa brought me more toys too!!! I got a Veggie Tales movie, more books, and a couple of big cars!!! You'll have to see the videos of these!! Daddy likes them too! They are made out of all recycled materials (including computer pieces) and take no batteries! But they light up, and talk and make car noises if I push them - isn't that cool!! I love pushing them around and making noises (and chasing the doggies!!) They're called Sprig toys. Mommy made breakfast casserole for breakfast - per tradition!! But we did something different for dinner this year. Rather than making a tukey or ham for just us and wasting the leftovers, Mommy and Daddy decided to have a different kind of Christmas dinner. So we had Enchiladas!! It was yummy!! It's a beef recipe, but Mommy made it with ground turkey, and it was so good. Daddy said that it made it a Feliz Navidad Christmas!!
Then on Saturday Mommy and Daddy took me to the Fort Collins Museum and Science Center. Mommy was boring - she just wanted to look at the stuff on the walls and read the captions, but Daddy and I spent the whole time in the Discovery Science Center for the kids. We rolled balls, and played with crash dummies, and made electricity on a bicycle, and played with dinosaurs, and even made wall art with our shadows!! It was a lot of fun! Then Mommy and Daddy took me to Chili's for lunch. Daddy got a HUGE burger - it was almost as big as his head!! I had such a fun week with Mommy and Daddy!! I wish they could stay home with me like that all the time!!
Anyways!! Today Mommy and I are packing! We leave for Indy Wednesday night. We spent all morning doing laundry, and then packing it up! We had to take the big suitcase cuz there's a couple of presents that we didn't ship home and Mommy had to fit them in. I hope they don't get too smooshed!! Mommy says we are spending Thursday with Gran Wilson, Aunt Anna, and Unckie Rodgie, and then Friday with Grammy and Grandpa Louie, Uncle Dale, Uncle Stan and Aunt Janice, and all my cousins!! I'm so excited!! See you all soon!!
