Hi Mom-Mom,

I heard about a miracle on 34^th street in Hampden, so I went to check it out. The people who live there cover their houses in Christmas lights. I’ve never seen such a bright place. It was stunning.

Dear Mom-Mom,

This little Elf guy has been hanging around our house. I’m not sure what his deal is. I feel like he's always watching me. I’m keeping an eye on him too; an eye on him and an eye on our gumballs.

Hi Mom-Mom,

I thought I was seeing things last night when dad walked in the house with a big tree. He cut it down himself! They must have decided the house needed a new look. I like it. It’s bright and cheery.

Hi Mom-Mom,

We went to Kenilworth to see the trains with Grammy and Poppy today. I met some guy named Santa. I think he’s eaten a few too many Christmas cookies, but who can blame him. Nice guy.

I’m cruising now, Mom-Mom. I’ve found my sea legs, albeit at times I do resemble a drunken sailor.

Hi Mom-Mom,

You know what they say... when in Texas, do as the cowboys do. That's exactly what I did.

Hi Mom-Mom,

Mom and I went to Houston with Grammy and Grand Pop to celebrate cousin Kathi’s Fabulous 50^th birthday. I got to meet the Davis family. 

 And my cousin Spencer. 

And RB the horse. He was really happy to meet me. I was just the cowboy he’s been waiting for.
