A Birthday Surprise!

I also went to a special place just for kids called "Chuck E. Cheese's" to celebrate my 2nd birthday. There were lots of kids there just like me who came to play and have a good time. I heard that it is a great place to celebrate your birthday and after being there for a while, I think so too. There was a big sliding board that I liked and lots of other fun things to do and ride on. I even rode in a car with Barney! My Mommy told me that she went to a lot of birthday parties there when she was a little girl. When it was time to eat, we had something that is definitely on my list of favorites... pizza!

Here are some pics that we took at Chuck E. Cheese's. Grammy said that you can click on the logo above for more information, just in case you want to take your kids there. Tell them that The Booga Wooga said, "It's a really fun place to go!"

Breakfast + Lunch = Brunch

Today, my Pop-Pop got up and decided he wanted to take us out to have something called "brunch". So, we got in the car, traveled to a part of Philadelphia called "Germantown", and went to a place called the "Trolley Car Diner. It was a warm and friendly place...lots of people were there and Grammy said it was like "the place that time forgot".

Here is a pic of the old #23 trolley car that sits right outside the diner. It was closed because it's wintertime but, in the summertime, it serves ice cream and you can sit at the tables outside to eat it.

This is a pic of the diner where we had our brunch. It sits right next to the old #23 trolley car.

Because there were so many people there, we had to give our name, sit down, and wait a little while before our table was ready. Usually, I get really upset when I have to sit still and wait for anything because I like to run around and have fun but, Mommy said that I was being a really good boy today.

Mommy decided that she was in the mood for breakfast so, she ordered something called "fish and grits" for us to eat. It was really good...here I am eating a piece of fish.

After we ate, we went outside to say goodbye to the old #23 trolley car before heading for home. In case you haven't noticed, I really like trains, trolley cars, and just about anything that runs on a track!

Grammy promised that they would take me back to the Trolley Car Diner in the summertime so we can all eat some ice cream outside. She said we might even go at night because the diner lights up and looks even better after dark. I can't wait!

Family Christmas Dinner 2007

Annual Day at Nana Faye's

On Saturday, December 29th, everybody went to my Great Nana Faye's house to celebrate Christmas together. The highlight for me was seeing Nana Faye and all of my aunts, uncles, and little cousins..old and new, from near and far. We had fun just running and playing for hours.

Here are pics of me and my Cousin Jackson playing with my Thomas & Percy trains. We made them go C-R-A-S-H, B-O-O-M, over and over again!

My Cousin Jaden and his Mommy, Cousin Amber.

My new little Cousin Troy, Jr. ("TJ") and his Grandmother, my Cousin Jessie.

And, here's the rest of the family...cooking, eating, hugging, kissing, laughing, sitting, smiling, standing, talking, walking, watching TV, etc. You get the picture...we had a great time!

A Philadelphia Tradition

The Light Show at Christmas Time!

OK, I know we were going to take a break from blogging until Christmas Day was over but, we decided to slip this one in just before the holiday...

Today, my Mommy and Grammy took me on a trip downtown to see something called "The Light Show". But first, we stopped at a place called the "Reading Terminal Market" and had some lunch at a place called Delilah's.

After we ate, we went to a really big place called a "department store" and the name of it was Macy's. When we went inside, I saw lots of people with little kids just like me. I guess they were all there to see The Light Show too. We came across a couple of nice spots to take some pics...a sleigh-in-the-snow display and the Macy's Christmas tree.

After we wandered around the store a bit, we took an elevator ride to the second floor (Mommy let me push the button). When we got off, we looked around for a really good spot to see The Light Show and found one. While we waited for the show to begin, everyone was singing Christmas songs and clapping their hands.

Finally, it was time for the show to start. I heard a loud voice coming from somewhere and telling Christmas stories about the lights. At the end of the show, all of the lights for all of the stories lit up and the whole wall was covered in lights!

When it was over, Mommy told me that Grammy always took her to see The Light Show at Christmas time when she was a little girl and how much she liked it. Then, Grammy told me that her Mommy always took her to see it when she was a little girl and how much she liked it. Now, wait just a minute... how old is this Light Show anyway? Oh well, I'm glad they took me to see it...I really liked it too!

And now, for all of my family and friends who don't live in Philly, you can watch The Light Show right here, right now. Just click the play button...Enjoy!
