Liam Had A Pretty Good Christmas

Hi everybody! It’s me, Liam. How was your Christmas? Mine was super duper cool!

It was a bit weird because we’re staying with Grammy, Grampy and Uncle Matt until my daddy gets back from the big boat. He works on an aircraft carrier for the Navy. And guess what? Santa found daddy out on the ocean!

I was worried about that.

Here at the house we were really busy before Christmas. Mommy and I made some reindeer food.


Then we sprinkled it in the front yard for all the reindeer.

After that, mommy and I made cookies for Santa.


Grampy tried to eat some but I said, “Hey Grampy! Only 1, those are for Santa!”

We finished our shopping. I had to get some toys for the doggies.


Then it was time to wrap all the presents I bought. I like tape!


I bought a hat for my Aunty Kat, a rainbrella for my Uncle Josh, a football for Uncle Matt, a bowl for Grammy because we bake cookies and a Santa mug because I know Grampy likes his coffee.

Then it was finally Christmas Eve! We went to church where we all lit a candle. Well mommy lit it. I watched.

There was a lot of music and then my Uncle Matt sang a song with his guitar. I took a picture with mommy’s phone. I think I captured the moment…and Grampy’s head and a little of Grammy’s hair.


After that we had some people at the house. Mommy and I stayed in our church clothes.


Christmas morning was super awesome! Santa brought me everything I wanted! I wanted a train and a train whistle.


I also wanted some bean bags.


Grammy and Grampy have this game we play outside where you throw bean bags and try to get them in the hole on this big board. Their dog Charlie chewed up the old bean bags so I asked Santa to bring new ones.

Wait until you see what my Uncle Sean got me!


Buzz and Woody! And they talk! I play with them a lot!

We just hung out at the house all day. I played a smaller version of the bean bag game with Uncle Matt. Grampy took a nap.


I hope you had a great Christmas too! It was so much fun I think we should do it all again next week!
