The big draw at Ma and Pa’s was getting to see Avery!  I had been waiting the whole trip to see her, and the time had finally come.

Oh, and was great to see Ma and Pa, too.  But Avery is really fun.  And isn’t she pretty in her princess dress?  And we got to open presents!

There’s nothing like a few presents to convince me that I should smile for a picture.

I also had fun playing in the water next door.  It turns out you can draw with the water from the pool just like I do in the backyard at home.

Avery and I got some new books for Christmas.  Mommy spent some time reading with us.

I also got to help Pa diagnose a tire puncture.  He took it to the shop right away to get it fixed.  I thought that was the right thing to do.

And of course, no Christmas trip is complete without MORE present opening with Avery.  This time we were at Aunt Danee and Uncle Tommy’s.  They gave me a very nice set of wooden trucks that I just love playing with all the time!

Finally, we went to the museum where Ma works.  There was a big whale with doors so you could see inside.

Thanks for showing us your museum, Ma! And thanks for letting us visit with you!  It sure was fun seeing you and Pa.
