Mommy woke up first, but she just laid there waiting for me to wake up.  When I did wake up, I said, "Get up, it's Christmas!"  I wouldn't wait for Mommy to get dressed before I went downstairs to see what Santa brought me.  I just sat looking and waited for Mommy to get downstairs before I touched my Santa gifts. 

I got a small football, a Madden football game, some candy, and a book with 20 one dollar bills in it.  It was fun finding all the money in the books pages.  I was very pleased with all of my Santa gifts.

Bridget fixed our traditional Monkey Bread.  Grandma has made it every Christmas and Thanksgiving for all of her married life.  I wish she and all of my Laplante family could be here.  Maybe we will all be together next year for Christmas.

The people at Bridget and Chris' home were:  Chris' mom and dad (Carol and Fred) and Chris' sister Alyssa.... and Mommy and me.

Bridget and Chris gave me a U of T basketball, a NFL camo hoodie that they wear to represent breast cancer, our military, and something else.  I told Bridget and Chris twice that I really really like it.

Chris, Fred, and I played baseball all day.  I got a gift that had small baseball bases in it and we used those.

We had Italian Christmas dinner around 3:30pm.  Chris's family is Italian.  I liked it and so did Mommy.

We watched Houston Texas' lose and we also watched the Eagles.  Chris' family are big Eagles fans.

Santa Claus brought Anna Kate a pink kitchen.
