Anthony and I played in my room most of the day.  Part of the time Barbara took a nap and when she woke up and found that Anthony and I were still playing she gave me a sticker for playing quietly.    I earned four stickers today.  I don't remember what the other three were for.... Oh, I now remember one time I quickly ran to get Mommy's TV remote for Barbara.  Barbara's remote doesn't work so she uses Mommy's.  It works out fine, because Mommy and I rarely watch TV except lately we have been watching bowl games.


Later in the afternoon Mommy and I went over to Daddy's house to watch football bowl games and to set off fireworks.

Bradley on New Year's Eve.
2016 was a great year for my family.  Baby Bradley was born December 5th.  Chris asked Briget to marry him December 8th.  Papa retired December 7th.  Grandma and Papa are building their retirement home and will move in February 2017.  Mimz got the problem with a leak in her foundation resolved and got some new flooring in December.  Mimz, Barbara, and Grandma went on a cruise in February.  In November GGF had a stent put in his heart, which gave him more strength to do the yard work he so enjoys.  And I played soccer, football, baseball, Iron Sports, and swim team!   I became a better reader and my handwriting improved.  And probably there were a few other highlights that I can't think of at the moment.   This isn't a family thing, but the other good news is Hillary Clinton is not going to be President.
