Liam’s Happy It’s Almost Christmas!

Chapter 48

Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, and I guess the big day is almost here!

Did I ever show you the finished project? You remember that my mommy was trying to get me to pose with my puppies for a nice Christmas card? Well, she says she made a quick decision and shifted to this idea.

I like it! I think it captures me well.

Nailed it!

In other news this week, I’m just having fun being me.


Daddy cleaned out his truck the other day.

Do you like my hat?

Daddy had to wear that when the big aircraft carrier was in the docks. I guess it saves him if a jet falls on his head.

Mommy was wrapping presents the other day and she gave me the tube!


Did you know about these things?


This was AWESOME!

Christmas has been so great and it’s not even here yet! Wrapping paper tubes, the Amazon guy bringing all different sizes of boxes AND….. let’s not forget bubble wrap!

Chilly chilly

It got a little cold here in Virginia Beach. Yes I finally wore my hat.

I even wore my mittens when we got outside. It’s been raining here too. When it rains, Grampy and I play in the garage.

Yay! I scored my first basket!

Also, I still like my stories.

I ask mommy for “Polar Express” every night. Last week I read Grammy a story on that FaceTime thing.

I’m so excited that my Grammy will be here for Christmas! I think Grampy’s happy too.

Stupid rules!

It’s been a fun week here at my house. Oh except for the day daddy wouldn’t let me play with the remote.

Maybe I’ll have better negotiating skills when I learn some words.

Anyway, I hope you have a Merry Christmas! I can’t wait for Christmas because I can’t remember what it was like last year. I was just a little baby and I think I slept a lot. It’s not like now when I’m much biggerer.

Liam’s happy it’s almost Christmas!

    In my opinion as much as 2020 has big time sucked, it came with many unforeseen silver linings. You having the opportunity to allow Liam to “raise” you is one of them. You have created a beautiful treasure trove of memories that he will share with his children someday. Thank you for sharing the experience with us Reading his antics weekly is a bright spot in my life. I wish you all the Merriest of Christmases.
