Merry Christmakah and a Happy New Year!

Happy 2009 everyone!

I haven't written since before the holidays, so I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas/Hannukah/Kwaanza, etc. Between the holidays and their associated family gatherings, the crazy amounts of bow (you probably know it as "snow"), and everything else in my crazy exciting life, the last few weeks have been pretty busy.

Woooo

It's like splash mountain....with snow

The roads have been pretty scary

Mommy and Daddy are lucky for my car

This year was my 2nd Christmakah, and it definitely didn't fail to please. For those that are wondering, Christmakah is my own magical melding of Christmas and Hannukah. Basically, since I celebrate Christmas many separate times, and because Santa visits me no less than 4 times, I've decided to meld with Hannukah for the Cohenriffic holiday of Christmakah.

Christmakah Morning #1 - SNOW!

Opening Presents with mommy

During all of the recent bow (snow), mommy and daddy had lots of time off of work so we got to spend lots of extra time together during the holidays. I really enjoy the snow, but I don't quite understand why everyone wants to go outside to play in it. I don't know if you've noticed, but it's COOOLLD! No thank you! Just give me a bottle of cocoa and let me look out the window, please!

Christmakah Morning #2 - SNOW!!

On the morning of the 23rd, me and mommy and daddy celebrated christmakah at home, and prepared to drive south thru the snow. On day 1, Santa Claus brought me all kinds of stuff, most notably an iDog and an iPod - I love my little doggy. After opening all of our presents and having a good breakfast, we packed up and headed down for Christmakah #2 with Grandpa and Grandma et all in Snohomish. As soon as we got there, it started snowing even more which made for a perfect christmas, even though lots of cars were getting stuck on the hill! Christmakah #2 was no slouch, and Santa even brought me my own Golf Cart!!

Vroooom!

How fast does this thing go?

Yay!

After spending lots of time at Grandma and Grandpa's, we packed up daddy's rig and headed up to celebrate Christmakah #3 with Mimi and Papa. It snowed most of the drive on that Christmas Eve night, and I must've dreamt of Santa the whole way, cause when we pulled into Mimi and Papa's driveway, I woke up/sat up abruptly and said "Santa!?" When we got there, my cousins were just getting ready for bed, so I joined them. We all pushed the bedtime thing quite a bit, but apparently Santa doesn't show up if you're not asleep, so off we went.

Why is there a bow on my head?

A Piano with toy balls - perfect!

Christmakah at Mimi and Papa's was lots of fun. Santa brought me lots of stuff, including a cool piano with balls that has become one of my favorite toys, and it was fun cause I got to spend the morning with Emma and Eden. They got dolly's, which I thought was kinda silly, but they REALLY liked them! Girls are silly.

I wanted a pony!

Present time again?

After having breakfast with Mimi and Papa and playing for a bit, we got back in the car, and headed south for Christmakah's #4 and 5. We went to Aunt Pam's house in the afternoon to celebrate with Great Papa and everybody, and it was lot's of fun. I've seen a few christmakah trees in my day, and there'es was definitely the coolest - it had a train going around it!

Can I go play in the snow?

After eating and playing some more at Aunt Pam's, we got in the car again and headed to Grammy's for the night. Santa had come there too, and I got more cool stuff, including a really cool wagon that I can't wait to play in. We opened presents, and played, and then got to spend the night there.

Yayy!

Does Santa come AGAIN tomorrow Mommy?!

Overall, the whole holiday season was great. I got to spend lots of time with all of my family, and other than a few minor sicknesses, and UPS hugely delaying some of the gifts that I have yet to distribute, nothing could have been better!

Now it's 2009 - can you beleive it? It seems like just a few days ago it was 2007. Crazy! I wish everyone good luck with their New Year's Resolutions - mine is to update this stinky blog a bit more often - so watch for that. I'm also going to start working some odd jobs to save for college, so if you have any lawns that need mowing or windows that need cleaning - gimme a call. Other than that - I miss you all!
