just how we like it

Christmas this year got off to a rough start for me. Needless to say, I didn't do much singing at my school Christmas program.


But things quickly turned around when Mommy broke out the ginger-bread train.


Lei and Mommy watched my progress with much anticipation.


What? I didn't eat any of the candy!


Grandma had to work on Christmas, so we started opening presents the night before.


For it only being her first Christmas, Lei Lei got the hang of it pretty quick.


I'm Woody, howdy, howdy howdy!


After church on Christmas, we were back to open the presents Santa brought.


Daddy said Santa had to stop by Grandma and Grandpa's in Idaho to get this present.


I don't know who was more excited to play city, me or Daddy.


Lei got a baby doll.


"Next time maybe a premie doll... This thing is as big as me."


I got new toys for my church bag. Apparently Santa sees when I am naughty and he's trying to help.


Mommy was pretty excited about her new jacket.


And now we're back home enjoying all our new goodies!

We've been keeping busy here in Oklahoma and Daddy has fallen behind in posting pictures of me and Lei Lei. So, we have to back up to make sure you see just how cute I always am.

Let's start with our first trip to Branson. Uncle Chris, Aunt Julie and my cousin Libby live there, and we went to visit.

We started with a trip to the play gym. I loved playing in the foam pit with Daddy.


Mommy tried climbing the rope.


Daddy made it all the way to the top.


Lei wanted nothing to do with any of it.


Then we went on a lunch cruise.


I got to meet the captain, but he wouldn't let me drive.


Lei and Mommy had a good time.


Uncle Chris took us for a ride on his helicopter.


All of us went up.


I got to sit with Daddy.


Next time we went to Branson we took Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Miss. We left Daddy home to study for a test.


This time Uncle Chris let me drive the helicopter.


And Grandma let me drive the toy helicopter inside.


When we got home, we spent some time at the lake.


Lei had a great time.


I even got to ride the tube with Uncle Jeff.


At home I found out that Lei doesn't like baby food.


And neither do I.


So if we want something good, we have to get it ourselves.


Even Lei has learned my tricks.


I like it when Daddy lets me eat in front of the TV with him.


And I like only eating the peanut butter off my peanut butter sandwiches.


We took a trip to Houston for Daddy to take a test and went to the aquarium while we were there.


After what happened to Steve Irwin, I didn't want to touch the rays.


Lei went on a deep water dive.


And then we both rode the carousel.




And of course fall means Sooner football.


And going to Frontier City. It's like Lagoon for you Utah people.


Lei got some candy.


And I got to drive an old car.


You better get some good insurance Daddy.


Finally, I've learned that Halloween is fun cause you get candy...


But not fun when it gets too scary!
