Oh, Keebler by John Lee

Keebler is not my favorite elf. I kind of think he is trying to get me into trouble. However, I do find what he does kind of funny! One morning, we found him with all our piggy banks and our money cups. He had made his own cup and "borrowed" all our money! Mama made him give it back!

I am not sure what he had planned the next day, but our cowboys and Indians busted him! They rounded him up to keep him out of trouble!

Then, Keebler opened all the windows on his Christmas calendar, eating all the chocolates. I was really upset at first, because I thought he had opened all of mine! Lucky for him, my was ok.

The next day, Keebler took a sick day. It might have been sympathy, because Denny was sick, but we kind of think he just had a stomach ache from eating all the chocolate in the Christmas calendar.

His best prank by far, was making underwear garland to hand on the Christmas tree! Mama didn't get the laundry put away fast enough!

He tried to use the balloons we got at Mason's birthday party to float around the house, but he managed to get all tangled up in the playroom.

After Denny got a new race car at birthday party, Keebler made a racetrack for us. This was a pretty fun trick and we loved racing card on the track.

Keebler has been loads of fun and we get up each day ready to see what he has gotten into. This is of course after we have gone to bed each night hoping he is making a good report to Santa!

Happy Birthday to the Twins by Denny Lynn

Luke and Alex are twins. They are my friends from school. They turned 5 in December and I was invited to their birthday party! It was a really fun gym. We played and raced and flipped!

I really like diving into the pit...

...and playing catch with Alex!

There was even a big barrel that you could get in and roll around!

We worked up an appetite, so it was a good thing it was time for lunch! I had so much fun and feel so blessed to have so many new friends!

Happy Birthday, Uncle Rex by John Lee

Uncle Rex and Mason have the same birthday - just before mine! I was glad to get to see Uncle Rex and give him a birthday card. I hope he had a wonderful birthday.

Caroling by Denny Lynn

Our church had a special night to carol at one of the assisted living centers here in Las Cruces. We were very excited to go and  be apart. We waited on the second floor to watch carolers come in and invite them up to join us.

We decide to sing from the seats instead of up front. We made good greeters for the residents.

We made it through a couple of songs before we just couldn't sit still any longer. Mama took us on to IHOP - that was were the carolers would be headed after singing. We had been looking forward to pancakes all day.

They were yummy! It was a fun way to share the Christmas spirit with others and I am glad we got to go and be apart.

Happy Birthday, Mason by John Lee

Yea, for Chuck E Cheese! Mason got to have his 7th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese and we got to go!! We are always up for a party with friends and family, but especially for time at Chuck E's!

Nathan and Jacob helped us play. We had so much fun trying out everything!

We were doubly excited to get to meet Chuck E himself! He came over to wish Mason a happy birthday!

Mason got to go into the ticket blaster! It was very exciting to watch him grab for tickets!

I think he liked his presents! We had so much fun and hope that Mason did, too! Thank you, Cousin Keeley for including us!

Partying with Beau by John Lee

Mama and Daddy's Sunday School class had a party and it was at Beau's house! We were very excited to go and play! It was lots of fun to visit and play and to enjoy the Christmas treats everyone brought to share!

Oh, John by John Lee

As I get ready to turn three, I am testing my wings (and everyone else). I have lots of fun and many moods. Here is pirate John - must have a sword for each hand and say "Arrrr, Matey!" very loudly.

When I got a scratch on my lip, I insisted on a bandaid - this was the result - Mama would like me to emphasize that the bandaid in on top of my lip - my mouth is not taped shut! But it makes a very handsome mustache!

When we tried on the elf hats, Mama wanted a cute photo of me. Here is the result of her efforts.

I am so handsome and funny - I am having a few growing pains these days and becoming more independent. I can't wait to celebrate my birthday. I am so very excited for everything.
