Merry Christmas!  And Peace on Earth!
 Picture of me still sleeping at Mimz' on Christmas morning.  I still love Monk Monk.

I was awake very early (maybe 5am).  Mommy, Daddy, and Mimz got to see me when I saw what Santa Claus brought me... a trampoline for Mimz' backyard, a Simon game, football,and a dart board.
Daddy lifed me up so I could get a better look at my new trampoline!  Knox has one so I know a few tricks. 
I opened a present from Mimz, a Kindle Fire.  And my dad gave me a droid helicopter.  I'm going to have many many hours of fun with my presents.

After we ate breakfast Mommy took me to the lake to spend Christmas day with Mommy's family. This included: Grandma, Papa, GGM, GGF, Barbara, Tim, Bridget and Chris B, Andy, Kristan, Anna Kate, Bradley, and Kristan's parents, Sandy and Mike, and Kristan's brother Bart.  Chris' mom had been in the hospital resently and didn't think she should come this year.
I opened the front door slowly looking around to see if Santa had been here... and he had!  He left me a football goal, a football and a Magic Show kit...
...plus things in my stocking.

By the time we arrived, Grandma, Papa, Bridget, and Chris had opened their gifts and cleaned up the mess and stacked their new things out of the way.  They all watched Mommy and me open our gifts.
I am such a fortunate boy.
 Here are some pictures of me with some of my gifts:  Bath balm.... I love bath balm!
 A boy scout pocket knife, but the knife is not sharp and mostly it is a bunch of tools, like a screwdrivr and a saw, etc.
I played Pie Face at Knox'.  It was fun.  Can't wait to play it with my friends.
 The big books that I can almost read by myself.
A checkers game.  I ought to have GGF teach me to play checkers.  When he was a boy, on Saturday mornings he would head to the gas station in town and play all the old men there for 10 cents a game.  He could beat anybody in Bluejacket, Oklahoma.
 My own personalized toiletry bag.
A flag football game.
 These are most of the clothes I received from Grammie, Bubba, and Lisa's family.
Andy, Kristan, Bridget, and Chris all bought me an electric scooter.  I'll keep it at Papa's house because he has a safe place for me to ride it off the street.
I have been wanting a Rubik's Cube.  Barbara got out her 30 year old one and said she would relearn how to work it and then she would teach me.
Barbara remembered just enough to show Chris B how to work one side.  GGF watched while Chris worked on the Rubik's Cube.

It was shortly after noon when Andy's family arrived.  It was quite an effort to get them all here with all the baby and toddler things,and their presents.
 I think there were 16 adults and me (not counting Anna Kate and Bradley) there for Christmas dinner.
We sat at two tables.  From 12 to 2 there was a lot of work being done on our Chritmas dinner.  I mostly played outside kicking the football.  Many family members came outside to watch me for a while.  Maddox' came over and played with me too.  Maddox also got a trampoline from Santa also!

Great Grandfather walked around watching what everyone was doing.  We ate dinner at 2pm.
 Andy took care of Bradley during the meal.   
 Andy and GGM watched the two babies while everyone else pitched in with the clean up and that made quick work of that.
Papa deboned the turkeys.
 Most of that time I was outside kicking footballs.  Daddy arrived and he watched me kick.
Finally it was time for Andy's family to open their packages.  Anna Kate got a lot of clothes.
It was funny, she would open a package with clothes in it, pull them out one at a time, oohing and ahing, and toss them over her shoulder and pull out the next item and toss it over her shoulder.   

Mommy and I gave her some clothes and a Disney Princess book that she loved.  She must have spend 15 minutes just looking at the pictures in that book.  A funny thing:  Bridget bought Anna Kate and Bradley OU shirts.  Kristan said, "Oh Bridget, you shouldn't have.  You really shouldn't have!"   I understood that she was kidding, like she didn't want her kids wearing OU shirts.  lol
 Anna Kate admiring ornaments.
She enjoys iPhonea and iPads.  She has her own tablet.
Laying on coffee table watching iPhone.  The book is the Disney Princess book Mommy and I gave her.
 New baby doll and headphones.

Everyone went outside play a Plastic Wrap Ball game.  It was so much fun.  Two boxes of Saran Wrap had been used to wrap up all kinds of items, like a deck of cards, Altoids, dental floss, little flash lights, hand warmers, gum, candy, and lots more things, plus some $5 Walmart gift cards, and in the very center a $20 Walmart card.  One person would work on unwrapping the ball and got to keep anything that fell out while he was unwrapping.  Anther person was rolling the dice for the number six.  As soon as he rolled a six, he got to unwrap and the next person was rolling the dice.  Everybody won sevral things.  Everyone gave me the candy they won.  In the end, I was the last winner who got the $20 Walmart gift card!  I was just lucky.  They didn't let me win, I really was the person who got to the center prize. I don't know if anyone took a picture of the Plastic Wrap ball of not.
When we started playing the Plastic Wrap ball game, Anna Kate was present.  She had a huge meltdown when she could not have the dice.  Sandy had to take her away and play with her, otherwise the game would have been at a standstill.  So cute and funny!  Poor little thing!

It was almost to get dark, so Barbara and my great-grandparents left.  A few minutes later Andy's entire family left.

Soon after that Daddy and I went to Lacy's home to share some more time with Mimz and Aunt Kathy's family.
