A Very Special Visit From Santa!

Sleigh bells jingling and 'Ho-Ho-Ho!'. It's Santa Claus!

He made a list and checked it twice. Of course I wasn't naughty...I was nice!

Santa brought me a present because he told me I was a good boy this year.

He brought Maddie a cute teddy bear. But she cried. Don't worry Maddie. I cried when I met Santa when I was a baby, too.

Santa brought me a Woody doll from 'Toy Story'. Thank you, Santa! I love it!

Mommy wanted to take a picture with me and Santa.

Santa hugged me and told me he had to go. I was sad. But I promise to be a good boy again this year and I hope he will visit me and Maddie again next year!

Santa hugged Maddie, too. He had more presents to deliver to all the other good little boys and girls. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

A note from Mommy: Thank you to our dear friends and neighbors Don and Jeanie for making Timmy and Maddie's Christmas extra special this year. Don was a perfect Santa Claus! We love you guys!

A Few Unrelated Pictures

Riding in style in the coolest car at Pretend City - a BMW convertible! My friend Matthew and I played there a few weeks ago.

Ready to enjoy a Christmas cookie from my auntie Judy!

Me & Maddie. She's wearing my old giraffe pajamas. Auntie Aki gave the pajamas to me before I was even born!

My latest favorite movie is 'Finding Nemo'. I've watched it over and over lately. I have a stuffed Nemo, Squirt and Bruce!

Mommy and Daddy were trying to get a good picture of me and Maddie at the park. Please excuse my cereal bar in the picture. I only stay still when I'm eating.

Christmas Is Almost Here

Sitting by the Christmas tree waiting for Santa.

My reindeer friend here dances and sings 'Jump Jive An' Wail'. He's so cool!

A close up of me & Maddie from our Christmas card this year. I promise next year that I'll make her smile like me ;)

Pretend City

Daddy, Mommy, me & Maddie went to Pretend City children's museum today! I played with LOTS of stuff. I picked apples off of trees. Mmm...apples!

I learned how to plant vegetables.

I checked out the baby chicks.

I drove around in cars!

I played emergency dispatch operator.

I caught a fish!

I was a DJ...Mix-master T!

I shopped at Ralph's and picked up some of my favorite oatmeal for breakfast.

I drew pictures.

What is a stencil template???

Before we left, I cashed in my paycheck from all of my hard work.

Hey, Mom...KA-CHING! I had fun!

Happy Halloween!

This Halloween, I was back in my friend Megan's neighborhood trick-or-treating with her and some of our friends.

Megan dressed up as a ladybug, Serene was Minnie Mouse and Christopher was Winnie the Pooh. I was a fire truck driver!

We had fun walking around the neighborhood carrying our buckets of candy!

Woo-hoo! Candy!

Hey! I remember seeing this guy last year...I'm not scared of you this time, buddy! I took a picture with him last year, too. See my blog posting from November 1, 2008.

Toward the end of the night, I 'ran out of gas' and got into my stroller to rest. Get it? 'Ran out of gas'...cuz I'm a fire truck! Ha-ha, I crack myself up.

Heading up the steps to Megan's house at the end of a very fun night...Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Maddie and her friend Hubert! Hubert is Serene's little brother. Aren't they such cute little pumpkins?!

Little John's 2nd Birthday Party

On Sunday, I celebrated Little John's 2nd birthday with him at a park near his house.

Megan and I enjoyed cake with the birthday boy!

Actually, I was pretty full from all the pizza and snacks I ate, so Mommy and Daddy 'helped' me by eating my slice of cake! Happy Birthday Little John!

Just hanging out with Daddy and Maddie in Maddie's room.

Return To The Pumpkin Patch

Last year, I visited this pumpkin patch and I'm back again this year with Maddie. First, we went on a wagon ride.

Mommy took me into the petting zoo...

where I met this little guy and gave him a BIG hug!

Hey, this warty little pumpkin is cute!

Gavin & I played in the pumpkin patch.

I played with Sophia, too.

Ooooh! That's a nice big pumpkin!
