The Christmas tree fully loaded. Can you believe how many presents there are? 

The whole family got "Keegan's Pub" gear. Keegan's Pub is in Minneapolis. I'm going in two years to visit.  

Staci and Chris gave me one of the coolest presents - Texans' Reebox. Watch out David Carr! I'm coming for you.  

All I want for Christmas is a hippopotamus. Really, it's a song. My counsins sang it to me.  

I gave Grandma Ellie a paver brick that will be laid at Minute Maid Park that says "Go Lance". Berkman, that is. She was so happy, she cried. Grandma loves her Astros.  

 

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness.  

I was a very, very good boy this year! 

My Uncle Bill teaching me about the ways of the world. He's a smart dude. I have lots to learn from him.  

Me and all the ladies, my cousins Jamie and Katie and Aunt Kristen. Fun! 

Grandma sandwich.  

All I have to say is Grandpa is nuts. At least I think that's Grandpa.  

Christmas Eve dinner - Sauerbraten. Meat soaked in vinegar since Thursday (yes, this was Sunday) and potato balls. This was mom's second time making it - last year, she was pregnant with me, so doesn't remember what she learned that time. Pregnancy brain. One more time, and she'll have it down. I slept - still on a liquid diet.  

My cousin Jamie fed me a bottle. I'm all snuggly with her. She is also able to burp me. Rock on Jamie ~ what an accomplishment! 

Playing with my cousin Katie. She encouraged me to eat the seal, that I was told was a blue bird. They need to get their stories straight.  

Laughing with Grandma. She's a funny lady. 

Hanging out with Ma.  

Dressed in my holiday sweater from Ma's Godmother, Martha. Not sure what it is, but I'm told that is a snowman. 

My first trip to a Mexican restaurant (last Tuesday). Daddy was hosting a TaeKwonDo get together, so I went along for fun. I was fascinated by the music and bright colors.
