I wasn’t just dreaming of a white Christmas…..

Posted on December 27, 2012 by parksway

….because for the first time in my life, I had a we had a white Christmas. It was totally unexpected and totally welcomed. And it was actually perfect timing because I got to wake up early (5:30am) to make a huge mess opening all my presents with mommy, daddy, and grannie, then played with the gifts, and then got to go outside and play with mommy and daddy in the snow – it really couldn’t have been any better. And with all the excitement, we made sure we all understood the reason for the season.

As special as the day was, there was one downside – Buddy, my elf, went back to the North Pole for the year. I always get a little sad when he goes away, but I think about him a lot over the year. He’s my elf and the best elf ever so see you next year Buddy – can’t wait to see what silly things you do next year.

The following pics are from the Christmas season with Buddy and the family. (Note: one of my favorite pics is of me trying to catch snowflakes with my tongue.)

’twas the days after Christmas

Posted on December 31, 2011 by parksway

I haven’t had time to write because I’ve been so busy with seeing family, enjoying the season, and PLAYING WITH ALL MY PRESENTS! Santa is either a forgiving soul or he doesn’t do a lot of research when determining who has been naughty or nice. I mean I was like 90% nice and all, but I did have my moments of shall we say less than nice. But Santa sure did treat me good. Bicycles, dinosaurs, super heroes, AND a pretty little kitty. I was totally hoping I would get a kitty and Santa came through for me. I know what you’re probably thinking – I should have asked for a pony. If I had known it was going to be that easy, I probably would have. There are still more Christmases in my future so I need to practice saying giddy-up!

On a somewhat sad note, I had to say goodbye to Buddy – my elf on the shelf. Santa said that he would check in on me from time to time to say hi and see how I’m doing. I sure was hoping he could stick around forever because I really liked trying to find him every morning.

On a serious note, I do know that there is a bigger meaning to Christmas and in that I believe and am grateful.

Happy Holidays to all and stay tuned for my annual Christmas video coming soon.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Posted on December 14, 2009 by parksway

This past weekend I spent a little time with my Nanny and Iris. They took me to the mall to see a lot of trains. They thought I would want to go sit in Santa’s lap and tell him what I want for Christmas, but they don’t know me that well, do they? I opted against sitting in the old man’s lap. I think I may try to do this with daddy and mommy, but no guarantees there either. Last year they threw me into his lap and jumped out of the way while a photographer snapped a picture. It wasn’t my best moment, nor my mommy and daddy’s best moment. They keep asking, but we’ll see.

Oh, and I almost forgot, I have presents under the tree for me. I asked mommy if I could open them and she said I had to wait for Christmas. I told her it is Christmas – see all the lights. She then said I had to wait for Christmas day. So I thought maybe I could get daddy to to open them. I told him that he could go ahead and open mine last night, that it was okay. He didn’t fall for it. He sniffed that one out right away. I will have to find some other way to open my presents before Christmas day.

I’ll get back to you on that one and the whole Santa thing, too.
