Merry Christmas!!

Santa brought me my own tool box and some tools. 

I also got this semi in my stocking....

...and a "car toy" as I call it. It's 3 levels for me to drive my cars on; complete with ramps and an elevator.  Mommy & daddy got me a portable DVD player and a play doh set.

Nana and Rodney got me a tractor set, some PJs and a movie!

This is the play doh set from mommy & daddy. It's a mouth that you can make teeth for. It even comes with a working drill. Anyone need some dental work?!  ;)

We spent the evening of December 27th at grandma & grandpa Emter's.  Grandma got lots of snuggles in with Tyce!

Tractor set from Grandpa Dean & Grandma Penney. I made out like a bandit with John Deere tractors this year! I also got one from my great grandpa & grandma Diehl!

Auntie Chandra got a sewing machine so mommy is really hoping she gets started on my quilt now!! :)

I got this rug from gma & gpa to drive my cars on. Tyce liked it too!

Drums!!!

Ummmm.... don't even ask.... :) Auntie Chandra & Jena thought it'd be funny to get these jammies- but Jena's didn't come on time! Very cute auntie!

I volunteered to break up Tyce's cereal bar for him. I said I was "feeding him like a reindeer". I like to help out with him when I can!

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas & got to spend it with those you love!!!  And Happy New Year!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at grandpa Rob's in the afternoon to open presents. Him and Janelle got me some Legos and the Toy Story 3 DVD!!

Janelle's daughter Jami was helping me build things too!

Then we went to great grandpa & grandma Schaper's for supper. This is my cousin Joe. We were playing games on his mom's phone.

Me & Joe both got matching puppies that roll around and laugh. See the video below to see what they do.

Then we had to sprinkle my reindeer food before bed. I got a letter from Santa (i.e Nana Sheri) at the beginning of December and he sent some food for me to sprinkle down.

I very carefully placed it down in the snow!

After that, I got to see my present from uncle Ryan. He got me a real gun!! It's a BB gun. But I know that it's not a toy and it has to be put away until we go out to shoot! Thanks again uncle!

Auntie Jena's graduation

Auntie Jena graduated on December 14th from Wahpeton as an LPN. Good job auntie!!!! We are proud of you!

Me giving auntie a congrats hug!

Woo hoo!! Auntie is going to go on for her RN while working as an LPN.

Elf on the Shelf

We (I) tried the Elf on the Shelf this year in an attempt to get Eli to be a little less ornery... Mission: FAILED!! :) For those of that don't know the concept (which I haven't read the book so I might get something wrong here...), but the idea is that the elf (Jesse in our case) watches over you kid(s) during the day and at night goes back to the north pole to report to Santa whether they were naughty or nice. Then each morning, the elf is in a new location. The day our elf arrived from the north pole I was trying to explain to Eli what he was here for.... and he just looked at me & very seriously said "Well he can't talk anyway"..... So, the talk about magic & all that- did no good. Maybe next year will be better!!! :) It was fun anyway! Here are a few pics of where Jesse ended up:

Few randoms...

I spent one night at the beginning of December playing in the bathtub coloring with my bath crayons. It's really fun!!

A little fresh air! I love to play outside in the snow!

I needed to shovel the snow that daddy & grandpa Willie missed.... ;)

Cheeeeese!

Snuggling with my best buddy!
