Merry Christmas to All

Merry Christmas everyone. Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, but I've been very busy. My Uncle Butch is in town and the whole family has been together. I will give you a recap of what's been happening in my life.


Saturday, December 20: We went to Granny Nanny's Hanukkah party. It was a lot of fun! Noah was there, and he and I ran around like crazy people. But poor Noah -- he bumped his lip and his head. It was a great time -- until the doughnut incident. I was eating powered sugar doughnut holes. I had about 3 of them, and I was covered in powdered sugar. I tried to grab another one, and my mom said no. I was not happy about it so I pitched a royal fit. After my mom took the one I had out of my hand, I tried to grab the last one, but my mom wasn't having it. She put them in a bag for us to take home. But I carried on and carried on. She finally took me in a different room so we could talk. We agreed that I would have one doughnut then and one the next day. Worked for me. When my mom gave me the remaining doughnut on Sunday, I said "Bad choice doughnut. Timeout."

Monday, December 22: After school, my mom and I went to Emma's house to exchange gifts. I really like Emma, and I love to go to her house. She has a lot of stuff for me to play with. Emma got me this really cool airplane and Pooh and Tigger shirt.

Wednesday, December 24: After I woke up, my Uncle Butch came home. I was really excited to see him. We have been playing a lot of football. I hold the football and say "Hike!" Then I run and Uncle Butch chases me. What could be more fun than that? We also went to the mall to say goodbye to Santa. We sang songs and helped Santa leave so he could take the sleigh to the North Pole to gather up the toys he had to deliver. After a long nap, I got dressed in my Christmas outfit -- what a stud! Then we went for Chinese food (family tradition) and then to church. We had candles at church so I wanted to sing Happy Birthday, but we didn't. After church we went to the McKinnons' -- another family tradition. We had a lot of fun at the McKinnons. It was a great Christmas Eve!

New Feature

I started a new feature on my blog. It's on the column to the right, and it is called "X's Xciting Person of the Month." My first honoree is my Uncle Butch. Now you can learn more about him by reading the column.

Be ready -- you never know who will be the next Xciting Person of the Month...

To all my Commentors

I just wanted to say thanks for reading my blog and posting the comments. I read all of them.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Doctor, Doctor, Give Me the News

I saw Dr. Juarbe today. He said I'm a big boy. Duh! I am 36 1/2 inches tall, and I weigh 31 pounds and 13 ounces. That puts me in the 95% for heighth and the 85% for weight.

I was in performance mode for Dr. Juare. I told him who was going to be President ("Bak-A-Mama!"). I counted up to 14 without prompting. I pointed out an X and an M, and I sang Hail to the Victors. When he was looking at my right leg, I said "Xavier's right foot." He was impressed. Don't tell anyone, but that was the first time I ever got that right!

Dr. Juarbe told my mom to keep up the good work. Go Mommy!

I saw Santa

Last Saturday, we went to see Santa. While we waited in line I said "Hi Santa! Ho Ho Ho!" But when it came time to sit on Santa's lap, I said "I don't think so!" I made my mommy sit on his lap with me. When Santa asked me if I had been I good boy I told him my mom says I'm a good boy, and sometimes I make bad choices. When Santa asked me what I wanted, I said "World Peace." Pysch! I don't even know what that is!

After we saw Santa, my Papa gave me coins to throw into the fountain. I thought that was pretty fun!

My Birthday -- Part I

For those of you who don't know, on Saturday, November 29, 2008 I turned 2! My mom and GG threw me a big party. It was awesome! We had it at a bar. People thought that was funny - I guess because I can't drink. The theme was Sesame Street and "This Party was Brought to You by the Letter X and the Number 2." Get it? "X" and "2"

My mom and GG did a good job of decorating the bar; check out the pictures. They hung some signs, and they decorated the tables to look like Elmo, Cookie Monster and Big Bird. How awesome is that! And did you see my cake? It had lots of Sesame Street characters on it. It was really good too.

I'm going to tell you more about it, but you'll have to wait until a different post. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures.

My Birthday -- Part I

I have a lot to be thankful for

Let's start with the fact that Abu was in town; only now that I'm 2 I sometimes call him Uncle Butch. I had a lot of fun with Abu. We even went outside to play in the snow!

On Thanksgiving, we went to the Lions' game. Surprise, surprise -- they lost! But I still had fun watching the game with Papa, Abu, Uncle Gosh and Mom. After the game, we went up to the Fortiers for dinner. Jeppy ("Jeffy") cooked a really good dinner. He cooked a huge turkey -- it was funny because the thermometer said it was done, but when Uncle Nerd tried to carve it, it wasn't done. We finished cooking it in the microwave. It was still really good. We also had corn pudding, stuffing, macaroni and cheese, creamed spinach and rolls. And guess what? Granny Nanny's cousin Camilo was there with his wife Jennifer and their kids Noah and Sarah. I love to play with Noah; we have a lot of fun. After dinner, we had some really good cookies that GG bought for me and Noah.

We went home shortly after dinner because everyone was tired. And my mom and GG were going to get up early to be at Parisian by 4 am on Friday. All those bargains brings out their competitive natures!

All in all, it was a good Thanksgiving. I am a fortunate boy.

Can you dig it? I kept telling my mom it was time to update my blog. She finally did. Actually, she didn't do it; Jennisa did it. You can check her out at www.onceuponablog.org I think she did a great job, don't you?
