More parties- June.

We headed over to Uncle Kevin's house to play for a while. At lunchtime, Uncle Jim let me eat part of his Christmas present- cheese puffs! Puffed cheese products for Uncle Jim is the motherload at the Taller house. Add a little high fructose corn syrup and Aunt Jenni will keel over from all the artificial ingredients and spend the rest of the day laying on the floor whimpering for lentils.

Later, we headed over to the Edgerton Meyer house for the annual Christmas party. From two couples came 31 people (we were hoping for 32, but Holly and Jake don't have a new baby yet). That includes 3 new babies this year. The Meyers have a huge basement and the parents set us loose down there. The big kids spent a lot of time covering up the playhouse with blankets. I'm not sure why.

Uncle Jim saved Tessa from being trampled on the floor. (Doesn't he look nice with a little baby?)

Oliver wants to be a dentist and spent his time trying to drill a tooth (and perched atop a slide avoiding any remote controlled car).

Annalise gathered every animal in the house and read them stories.

I tried to climb the slide and was having fun until mama bonked my head trying to turn me around to go down the slide.

Then I found a balloon to play with and was happy again.
Heidi showed us the correct way to use lawn trimmers. Be sure to have protective eye and foot gear.

When it got later, I made sure my best friend and I stayed close together, although I did give mama a little break and sat with Miss Jane for a long time.

I exchanged some pterodactyl screeches with Aunt Jenni.

Thanks for hosting a great night Miss Kim and Mister JJ!

One more Christmas present.

Yesterday, Aunt Jenni was feeling a little low from post-Christmas letdown. Well, Aunt Jenni, it's still Christmas on RFD TV. And on Big Joe's Polka Show we got the best Christmas present yet.

What could be better than a polka version of Kenny and Dolly? It was a great night for Big Joe and we hope this renews your Christmas spirit.
