A boy and his dogs

I have to say that sometimes Emma and George are in a love/hate relationship (George loves Emma, Emma hates George), but then there are times like this where she really enjoys him. We certainly don't spend much time throwing a ball or toys for her anymore. Most of the time she's trying to get a toy only to be told, "No, Emma, that's George's toy." Molly is always a bit protective of George, and defends him against Emma from time to time. (Emma gets jealous because she was the first baby and she thinks she's royalty and now George is the one with all the cool toys.) Molly has been protective since he was a little baby. If you wanted to hold him and Molly was around, it was best if you just stayed in one place and let one of us bring George to you. She got upset if someone new approached us while we were holding the baby.
Anyway, I think some of the arguing between the dogs you hear in this video is Emma trying to tell Molly that she's really just playing, and Molly trying to say..."well, you better be."

But, it's the giggles that make this worth the watch...make sure you have volume...

George's Christmas

We still have more celebrating to do...but we wanted to update you on a visit we had last night. We actually had a couple of visitors, Granddad and Grandma Joyce came and went to the early church service with us. Then we ate dinner, opened some great gifts and after they left I FINALLY dozed off just before dad was heading back out for the later church service. Since I was asleep, mom decided to tag along. I slept through all but about the last 10 minutes of the service. I woke up in time to see all the lights out, candles lit, and everyone singing Silent Night. I fell right back asleep on the way home. Then this morning (after sleeping in until 8:30 much to my mommy and daddy's delight), I found out we had ANOTHER visitor. I came downstairs to find a pile of new toys in my living room. How exciting! My mom and dad tell me that man in the red suit with the white beard that I met a few weeks ago brought them. What??? I wasn't even all that nice to him. He was a little scary and made me cry. How did he get in the house? Don't we lock the doors at night? Well, maybe I'll be nicer next year, and try not to cry when I see him because he was certainly nice to me! I got a Little People Farm, a Sit n Spin, a microphone, a train set and (one of my favorites) my very own dustbuster. I do love to vacuum.

After playing we had a nice big breakfast with pancakes and eggs. I do love pancakes. I also had lots of fun today turning on and off the lights. Who knew...all Santa really needed to entertain me today was to move a chair right under the light switch. My mommy also made a nice big lunch. However, I fell asleep after about one bite. I was just exhausted from the excitement. I got to eat when I woke up instead. My favorite was the sweet potatoes!!!

Here are some pictures! There were a lot, so my mommy just put them in a slideshow for you. She also put some pictures on here from my trip to the merry go round in Valley.

Love,
George

Cupcakes and animal sounds

Thank you Ms Sharon and Hannah for the delicious cupcakes. My mommy and daddy let me have one since I ate all of my peanut butter and apple jelly sandwich at dinner. My mommy said she ate that very same sandwich every single day of kindergarten and loved it. It seems to be my new favorite as well. My mommy and daddy had some wonderful homemade chicken soup from a dear friend at church...but I did nothing but spill that all in my lap. My mommy is finally feeling better after having the flu. Yuck. I'm just glad I didn't get that. These ear infections I keep having are enough. Well, here's me after enjoying my cupcake....my mommy is quizzing me about the animals.
