Christmas #4

Christmas #4 at Meemaw and Peepaw's was just so much fun. I got tons of cool toys and so did my cousins. They were even really good about letting me check out their stuff too.


I got some neat bath toys. The bubble blower for the tub was a huge hit.


I also got a puppet and a magnetic radio that sticks to my refrigerator from Gage and Blane. I love to pull it off and on.

Here is one of my favorite past times, playing with cousin Blane and chewing on an empty 2 liter soda bottle. What fun!!

Here is the yearly Helling Family Picture. The men whine and complain about it the whole time and each year the ladies insist on taking one. This one turned out pretty good seeing as the timer has to be set each year we try for it.

Are these three handsome boys or what???? We were all dressed up to head out to Nakatos for Travis' birthday. That is his restaurant of choice every year. I enjoyed all the flames and antics of our waiter but refused to eat any of the food.

Christmas is finally here!!!!

Here I am doing one last tree pose, and I say one last tree pose for mom before Christmas Eve service. She promised that was it, however as you see below she made me do one with mommy and daddy too.

Daddy and I, Mommy and I yada, yada, yada.

And finally, the grand finale......Christmas morning arrived, and yes, I guess I was a good boy because Santa brought me the mow mow (lawn mower) that I had been asking for. I also got a really cool bouncing and turning horse that hooks into the television. I thinks its pretty neat too.

Then it was off to Grandma and Grandpa Cheeks house for Christmas #2. While I was there I got tons of cool lute. Grandma and grandpa got me my very first tricycle. I can almost reach the pedals already!

Uncle Matt and Aunt Steph got me this cool t-ball set. Mom said I am not quite ready to be a baseball Bear just yet. I also got a neat remote control truck from Aunt Ginger and Brookelyn. It didn't take me long to figure that toy out.

Then it was off to Christmas #3 at Great Grandma Annie's house. I got to hang out with my buddy Kenzi. I am not sure our relationship.....my daddy and her daddy are cousins.....we'll just say second cousins for now. She and I had a blast chasing this itsy bitsy dog named Cha Cha all over Great Grandma Annie's kitchen.

Tune in later for Christmas #4 at MeeMaw and PeePaw's house. That is sure to be a blast too. I love this extended Christmas thing:)

More Videos

Mommy seems to think that videos are better than pictures these days since I won't sit still or smile for pictures anymore. Plus I am just doing so many cute and funny things they just can't be captured in a still photo. Sorry that the second video is sideways. Daddy has been out of town and mommy is attempting to do this on her own.

In the 4 Wheeler video I am being a big shot by standing up and riding. It scares mom to death which is the part I love the most.

In the second video I am getting ready for a "Big Boy Bath" in mommy and daddy's bathroom. Boy is that fun.

Santa can be quite scary

So far this season I have seen Santa 3 times. Each time I was fine if mommy was holding me, however, if she left me alone with the plump bearded fellow, I started to scream. He is a pretty scary fellow even if his name is Jolly Old St. Nick.

Santa's Watching You

Mommy keeps telling me that Santa is watching me when I am whining. I am not sure what that all means, but this night I did not want my picture taken in my Christmas jammies no matter how hard mom tried. All I wanted was to play with the camera.

Here mom, dad, and I are at Meemaw's posing after church and another one of me up, close, and personal:)

For any of you who are last minute shoppers, mommy got this really cool blanket made of my cousins and I for my great grandma's 90th birthday. It turned out so neat mommy thought she better take a picture of the blanket so everyone could see.

Last night I was watching the Tigers basketball game with dad and thought I had better work on my skills too. I have gotten very good at the slam dunk with my goal. I also did some hammering during the game because the Tigers aren't that exciting to watch this season so far.

Some of you may not find this too funny, but I sure did as well as mom, dad, and Meemaw and Peepaw. Meemaw started all this by hitting her head and saying I should have had a V8. Now I walk around all the time slapping my head and giggling.
