I had a great holiday season this year. My birthday party was a success even though it was rained out from Kiddie Park. Tia Michelle and Grandpa from Houston came in and celebrated with me. My four closest friends from the bunnies class made it out along with some friends from music class, Alejandro, and my Dad's friends too. We collected lots of toys for the boys and girls at St. PJs in San Antonio. Lita made my rocket ship cake. I had a Buzz Lightyear pinata (with retractable wings) and we played put the sticker on Buzz. The only drawback was that Mommy put sparkly candles on my cake so my wish is not going to come true this year. Next year, I will be ready!!
After my birthday, the eternal 3 week wait until Christmas began. Time flew though since we went to Houston early for a Houston Christmas. We stayed with my Aunt Rachel (muchas gracias!!) and got to play with my Mom's family and some good Houston friends. We had a blast, but it was tough being away from home for so long. I was ready to get back home and guess who was waiting for us...
Izzie, Leo, Tio Nando, and Tia Laura!!! They came to Texas all the way from Boston for Christmas. We had just returned home from a week in Houston and were ready to call it a night when we got a phone call from Izzie and Leo. Next thing we know, we were having dinner together at Panchito's and staying up past our bedtimes. :)
I had a LOT of fun with my cousins. We did different things every day. We went to the museum. We saw the model trains. We played on different playgrounds. We played with some of our old toys. Then Christmas rolled around and we played with our new toys too.
Christmas was a blast this year. On Christmas Eve, we had dinner at Lita's house and got to open one round of presents before the Guerra's arrived. After that, we opened another round. If you count both rounds, plus every friend/family visit in Houston where we received presents, I think we had about 7 Christmases. I think next year we should go for 8!!
On Christmas day (super early, 3AM), Tio Miguel, Tia Danielle, and Lili made it down from Denton. We had a fun time playing with all the cousins together for the first time. I think we even sat still just long enough to snap a photo.
This year, Santa brought me a scooter and a Zurg along with some stocking stuffers. Diegui received an inchworm and some egg shakers and some clicking sticks. I showed him my drum and my slide whistle (which I can play now) and we made a lot of music together.
After Christmas, the fun times were still rolling at Izzie's birthday party. Tia Lisi was the hit of the party with her balloon animals. She says to thank YouTube for that.
Since then, it has been a tough job trying to play with all my Toy Story toys evenly, but I have managed.
I was sad to see Izzie and Leo leave, but we got to play every day for a week.
Diego is almost crawling now. I will really have to be careful and not leave little toys around once he can get around. Until then, I like to help him by bringing him toys that are big enough for him to play with. I love my brother!
I hope all of you had as good of a holiday season as I did!
Take care,
Pablo
