December 2003
Hey, it's Christmas again.  Time for all sorts of fun traditions and good times.  Let's do this!!
Later that day, we went to Mariners for Christmas Eve
mass.  With all the singers and musicians, Zoe & I
thought is was a perfect time to do some serious dancing.
Unfortunately, I spent a lot December being sick this year.
But I managed to pull it together in time for Christmas.  
We fired up some Vietnamese food on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning, I made Zoe wait while I snoozed
like a rock star until almost 8:30.  Then we opened a ton
of cool presents (she did most of the heavy lifting).
My latest favorite thing to do is to run over and kiss
everyone.  Here I am smacking a juicy one on mom.  
"Thanks for the toy whatever, Mom.  I love it!!"
That's my new Elmo piano.  It can either play really cool
tunes or I can set it so I make the music.  I like to play
with toys that make sounds and music.  What fun!!
But despite dad's best efforts (trucks, cars, footballs), I
still worship my sister and mimic every move she makes.  
Before long, I was playing with her Disney princess dolls.
Here I am enjoying a delicious Christmas lunch with Zoe.  
We were both making funny faces at dad, while he
snapped about 50 pictures.  We love to make him laugh.
This is my specialty--the incredible fish face.  If I see
anyone puckering up, I take that as my cue to perform
this highly entertaining lip trick.  Brings the house down.
Well, that's it for another exciting Christmas.  Bring on 2004!!  I'll see you again soon.  -Ryan
