Christmas Time!

I could get used to this Christmas thing, but I need to learn how to pace myself a little better.  If you are going to be a party machine you can't break down when there is still partying to be done.  Anyway, this is the first Christmas I actually remember.  Last year I was too young and couldn't even see straight.  Here's a picture of me last year:

I couldn't hold my head up, blabber, or even smile yet.  Just a total mess.

This year was much better.  It started off with a Friday night party with Mommy's friends from when she was my age.  I hit the sack early but stayed long enough for food.  Here's a picture of all of her friends and the husbands they make come too:

Next day and BOOM we were back at it again.  This time it was Gung Gung's brothers and family.  This one had even more people:

Next morning was Christmas and an even bigger BOOM! There were all these presents for me! Basically you rip stuff apart and then you get toys!

Oh the glorious toys! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my first car too.  It's a good compact for city driving:

We weren't done yet.  Off to Fairfield we went to visit Daddy's family.  There I ate gumbo, prime rib, mac and cheese. and candied yams.  I feel very southern when I visit there.  Here's a picture of all of us:

Yeah that's my half white, half black, french hat wearin' gangsta cousin to my right.  He's so much fun to hang with.  Wow what a long day, right? Well there was still some more partying to do.  Off to Po Po and Gung Gung's house for some more dinner.  Mommy, Daddy and I posed for a pic just with us:

And Christmas was done- but the day after Christmas was still to come.

The next day my friend Bianca came over.  She's very mature at 18 months but I did my best to keep up.  She would only eat one noodle at a time and would clean up after herself.  Oh what a silly girl.  I showed her how you can slam a bunch of noodles in your mouth at one time.  Don't worry about missing and making a mess- Mommies clean that stuff up!

That afternoon guess what?  We went to another party.  This time it was all of the family friends that Mommy has known since she was a baby.  This is where I learned I have to pace myself.  It started with Uncle Aron telling my how great his drink was:

That just meant I had to hook myself up with one.  It was in there somewhere....

I'm not sure exactly what I had but it hit me hard.  I had a bit of a breakdown:

First I couldn't see straight:

And then the room started spinning and I started having visions:

Then apparently I started kissing dudes:

When I started to come down from my trip I could only regret the night:

Next year I'll have this better figured out and be able to party like a pro over the fours days of Christmas.

Thanks to everyone you got me a gift or had me in your thoughts.  I hope your Christmas was as much fun and filled with as much love as mine!

It's My Birthday!

December 1st is a day to remember.  It's been one year since I was born and today we are about to PAR-TAY!!!!!!

If you don't have this look on your face right now you then you're doing it wrong

My birthday this year is going to last about 10 days with all the stuff that's going on.  We had a big ol' party already with some aunties, uncles and friends more my age.  Let's see, who was there?  First the ladies...

Courtney was there:

Bianca came to kick it:

and Katelyn made an appearance:

Maddie's been through two birthdays and watched to make sure I was doing it right:

Some fellas showed up too.  Isaac is on the left.  He was a bit camera shy I guess:

Nate helped make sure the presents were working properly:

And Ry was the life of the party as always:

Landon was also there but must have had a crazy night because he slept the whole time.  We didn't disturb him with pictures.  The cake was supposed to be the highlight because it was going to be my first sugary sweet.  Nobody told me you set a small bonfire on top of it.  I thought they we going to blow up my cake before I had the chance to eat it:

Here's a video of the whole thing:

At the end of this first party I wound up with a whole bunch of new toys.  Daddy won't even open them all for me yet because he wants me to get bored of some of them before moving on to another.  He better just open them all now because I'll never get bored of all this!

I want to thank everyone for the gifts and for everyone that's been there for me through the year.  If the rest of my years are as good as the first one, I'm going to have the best time ever (although I could do without the diaper rash)!
