Question on Combat Damage

I have a question on combat damage; lets say I have a 5/5 creature with lure on it. My opponent has a 5/4 creature, and a couple of 1/1 creatures. Does combat damage happen all at once and his whole army gets wiped by my 5/5 creature? Or does combat damage happen in steps, thus my 5/5 creature gets killed by his 5/4 creature, ending combat?

Actually, the defender declares the order in which his creatures are blocking. So, his 1/1 could block, the another 1/1, the his 5/4. his 5/4 wouldn't die, but your 5/5 would.

Thanks for the replies.
Yea I am really confused because I heard so many different things.

I also heard that the attacker gets to choose the order in which he will kill the blocking creatures? So I guess this is false?

Actually new combat rules state that the attacker assigns what order and how much damage will be dealt to blocking creatures. So, if I had a 6/6 attack and it was blocked by a 1/1, a 2/2, and a 3/3, then I could choose the order of damage and how much to each one. That happens during the combat damage step.
