Christmas is coming and from what I hear it is sure to be a fun time. While I am waiting to see what it is all about my mommy has been doing some crazy things with me. Daddy said this is only the beginning and as I get older there will be more "fun" stuff to come. Here I am helping mommy decorate the Christmas tree. Caden helped us too. I was so excited to put up the tree that we started to do it before mommy went to work.
Getting some stuff out of the box.
"Help me, Caden."
We took a break so Caden could read to me. He can really read good!
Putting some ornaments on the tree.
So mommy thought it would be fun to dress me up in this little outfit. I pretend not to like it, but deep down I really think I look cute :)
Oh, you won't believe what else we did. Mommy made me and daddy go to the Sinter Klaas parade. It was nothing special. Mommy will even admit that she missed Santa. I just put a smile on my face and made the best of it because I think thats what mommy wanted me to do.
I think mommy missed Santa because she was taking this picture.
A nice girl did give me a sucker. I gave it to Chelsea.
Another thing we have been doing is a bit of Christmas shopping. Mommy said we buy presents for people that we love. Well, I told her that can't be true because I love so many people, but I just can't afford presents for all of them on my limited income. Mommy said she would take care of it and that they would understand. Here I am shopping at the mall. Erica held me which was really special and she did such a good job.
So how do you like my outfit? No, it isn't the same day. Mommy decided to put me in it again and take my picture with shiny red stuff. It was pretty fun playing with the red stuff.
I'm sure there will be lots more pictures of Christmas stuff to come. Mommy and Daddy did tell me that Christmas isn't all about presents. They said that the real reason we celebrate Christmas is because Jesus was born to save us all. I'm so glad that he loves me.
Mommy read me a good book called What Is Christmas? By Michelle Medlock Adams. It is about all the fun things at Christmas, but then it says the real reason for Christmas is Jesus! You should have your mommy or daddy read it to you if you are my age or a little older. If you are younger you might have a hard time paying attention. I mean, it was just the other day that I was able to listen to an entire book (and mommy doesn't read all the word, she is tricky like that) without trying to get out of mommy's lap.
Merry Christmas Season!!!
Love,

P.S. I crawled today! I did two or three crawls and then I stopped. I'm so proud of me!
I would like to give a shout out to, oh wait, maybe not a shout out, but a big I Love You to Jesus. I am so glad you are gave me my mommy and daddy who love you and will teach me all about you.
I Love You Jesus.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
