Christmas II – December Strikes Back!

December 31st, 2009. (18 months, 4 weeks old.) by ben

Well, I guess it is that time of year again!  Time for a big car trip and getting to see lots of people (again).  Oh, and there was a lot of these things called “presents” that, once you “open” them, turn into fun toys to play with!

The first car trip was really fun.  I got to see lots of big trucks and point them out to M&D.  And then I got to Grandma and Jay’s house – and guess what?  They had a big truck (and a smaller one) just for me.

Then it was on to Grandpa and Nana’s house.  I got to meet Simone and Davide and pal around with Darren.  Grandpa got me this really neat racing hat.

Then I got to do vacuuming and truck inspection before we left:

Next up, it was ping pong at Uncle Tommy and Aunt Danee’s party:

Nobody wanted to challenge me, but I suppose that’s just as well since I couldn’t see over the edge of the table!

Later I got to open presents with my cousin Avery – I pulled “older cousin” rank and showed her the ropes:

I also had a great time visiting with Ma and Pa.  Can you believe some of the toys they have?  I’ve never seen a phone like this one!  It must be the latest technology:

I’m looking forward to Christmas III – The Return of Christmas, which I’m told is scheduled for next year about this time.  Until then, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    Granpa is going to remember that while he was getting Ben clothes for Christmas at M&D’s request, Grandma and Jay were getting Ben wonderful new toys!
