Christmas with Dad's Family

After I spent the night of the 23rd in Louisville with Mom's family, we got up and came back to Cincinnati to continue our Christmas celebration. We went to church downtown on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was an angel during church, it went really well. After that we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's and hung out with Grandma's family (Greatgrandma and Greatgrandpa Jones, as well as Grandma's sister and her family). We had a lot of fun hanging out together (except the Bengals game, which I would rather not discuss). I got some really nice things, including a really neat picture of me that Greatgrandpa made that I am going to hang up in my room.

On Christmas morning I woke up at home with Mom and Dad. The three of us (along with the cats) had a great Christmas morning together. Mom and Dad got me some nice things, and Santa came to see me and brought me some fun clothes and a playmat on the floor. I guess I had been a good boy these last few weeks.

Then we went back over to Grandma and Grandpa's house and hung out with Dad's family again. Here are a few pictures of hanging out on Christmas morning.





After we hung out at Grandma and Grandpa's for a while, we went over to Great-Grandpa Muething's house with Grandpa's family. Wow. This was quite a scene, over 50 people and lots of things to do and see. A lot of people were nice enough to hold me (see the pictures below) and I also got some nice presents.

Despite how much fun I was having, the previous three days had started to catch up with me. Even though it was Christmas, I couldn't keep my eyes open, if you can believe that. In fact, you can see below when I was hanging out with cousin Rachel and Uncle Tom, I was knocked out. You can imagine how tired I was to sleep through all of that noise.




Anyway, Christmas was as good as I had heard about. I had lots of fun over those days and got to see so many of my extended family members. I can't wait for Christmas to come around again.
