Megagongmas?

Okay, maybe it's a mouthful, but what do you call the birthday season that includes the birthdays of Melissa A-Yi, Gavin, and Gong-Gong PLUS Christmas?!

After my Di-Di came home, we settled into a pretty good routine with Mommy's family that included eating, playing, holding the baby, Rock Band, building towers, lounging around, chasing Kirby, watching TV, and generally just having fun. At different times, people tried to leave the house (or at least change out of our pajamas), but some days it just never seemed to happen.

Karate Kid!

A couple of days after Christmas, we finally got around to opening gifts. I have to admit, I had a BLAST opening up my gifts ... and everyone else's for them as well. Everyone was so thoughtful and wrapped the present in paper so I had lots to tear apart; it didn't even matter if the gifts were for me or not. I also tried to enjoy the presents as I opened them including flipping through the 26 Sweet Pickles books that Daddy got me -- they were a throwback to his childhood. At some point, I had enough, lost interest, and simply walked away. All done.

Wow! What did we get?!

Sometimes it's easier to open if you just climb right on top

Here, let me show you how

The morning after presents, everyone slept in, and I had playtime with just Mommy and Daddy. They helped me put together my new babydoll set which I have been told (repeatedly) that it's for my baby DOLLS not my baby DI-DI.

Baby got my nose!

... and maybe for the other little one, too

My parents decided to bake my Di-Di a little longer, so he's been laying around in the sun. Well, of course I can't let him do it all alone! I also got to help feed my Di-Di a bottle.

Me, too! Me, too!

Hey, what's wrong with his belly button?
Mommy, my Di-Di has a boo-boo! Boo-boo!

What's with all the laying around?

Okay, I'll feed this one while you feed that one

Tonight is New Year's Eve which means tomorrow is 2010! I have been staying up late; I wonder if I'm going to be able to stay up until midnight?

Gong-Gong and Po-Po's babies ... and THEIR babies

Do you hear what I hear?

Happy New Year
to all of our friends and family
near and far
