John, The Holiday Party Animal

The past week was very busy with parties and celebrations, but John never tired of meeting new people and being a young party animal! Here are some of John's cousins at the Willson family party in Tennessee.

Here is Suzanne Wynn from Boston, holding Kate Dennis from Nashville.

Here is Haley Wynn from Boston, selecting a gift for the children's Chinese Auction. What fun!

Aunt Kennon Dennis holds daughter Kate while watching the children's Chinese Auction.

James Dennis is old enough to play the children's Chinese Auction this year. What a cutie!

Christopher and Jaque Willson play the game also.

Megan Cater is all ready for Santa and may help out in her new elf outfit!

Here is John watching all the action while sucking his fingers... he is teething!

After all the partying in Tennessee, we all returned home to wait for Santa. Here is John making his final Christmas wish list in front of the tree.

Guess what? Santa came to visit John and brought him lots of toys and some clothes, too! You can see John's Santa gifts on Willson's blog. One thing that wasn't on his list was a "Time Out Puppy" with a timer in his tummy. John isn't sure what this is all about, but we assured him that he'd find out in a year or so!

I hope that everyone had a very happy holiday and here is to a wonderful new year in 2007 !

What happens at Emmie's stays at Emmie's

So, mom and dad were having a Christmas party last night and I went over to spend the night with Emmie for the first time. She told mom and dad that we'd have a quiet evening, just my regular bottle, some cereal, maybe read a book, and early to bed. Well, as you can see by the smile on my face, that is not exactly what happened!

First, I put on my new party outfit before a few friends came over. We were having fun just hanging out and watching the Snoopy's Christmas video when someone decided to put egg nog in our bottles. That is probably when the trouble started...

Before long, the music was turned up really high and someone put some Jack, whatever that is, in our egg nog. I have to admit it was getting sort of loud so I decided to stay in my swing and just watch for awhile. But then the cops came and shut down our party! Emmie said that she wouldn't tell mom and dad, so please help me keep the secret. I can't wait for my parents to have another party... this was awesome!
