Christmas Morning











I was a little overwhelmed. Santa must not have been watching really close because I got a LOT of stuff! He must not have seen those fits where I throw myself in the floor or try to bite people. Oh well - LUCKY ME!

What Santa left....




I must have been a good boy, look at what I got!

The Perks of a Christmas Birthday...




1. Gifts at two different times; at the party and on your birthday


2. Everyone makes a big deal out of it because of when it is


3. Mom and I share the same birthday


4. We celebrate our birthday at the same time of the year as Jesus


5. Two cakes!!!


Opening gifts











I have really got the hang of this present thing. I love opening them and I even try to open other people's gifts as well.

Playing Santa







Was that you in my chair?




Putting out the reindeer food!




I got a cool gift from Santa at school. He sent me a bag of reindeer food (oats and glitter). It had their favorite food and a sparkle in it so they could easily see my house. Everyone went outside after church so we could sprinkle it out for Santa. I am sure glad I did because I got a ton of toys!

Christmas Eve Afternoon




We stopped long enough on Christmas Eve to take a quick family pic! We had a very active afternoon. We went to Candlelight Communion Service and then came home to have Christmas Part II.
Mom and I made a birthday pic together just like last year!

Morning of my 2nd Birthday




Here are a couple of shots of me opening a few of my birthday gifts from Mom and Dad.

I'm Officially 2!







Well it is official, at 10:18 this morning I was 2! You can look at my progression from these pics. If I must say, I have turned out to be a handsome little man.
It is time for the "terrible twos" even though I have been preparing for a while. All I can say is good luck Mom and Dad!
The top picture is about three days ago. The middle picture is last year on my birthday. The last picture is the day I was born.
Happt Birthday to my favorite lady in the whole wide world as well. My Mommy's birthday is today too.....I love you Mommy!!!!!

Present Candids







Papa and his babies!


Too pooped to party!


Helping Nana a little more!


I thought I would be kind and help Nana open her new serger. I got the Handy Manny tool set and decided to open the sides for her with my tools!

Not the baby anymore!







This was Emma girl's first Christmas. She really couldn't unwrap but she sure liked the bows!

The Waiting Game




Man, it seemed like EVERY present I opened had some type of twist tie to get off or a box that was hard to get into. If it wasn't one of the above, the gift needed batteries. Man, this present opening really tries your patience. Poor Dad and Papa Joe they had a time getting into those boxes. As you can see I was sitting waiting and cheering them on!

Nana's present











Well this is how the story of Nana's present goes....Cooper and I were told to take Nana her present. So as you can see in the bottom two pictures we simply pushed her gift over to her. We assumed that for all of our hard work we could open it as well. So the top two pictures are Cooper and I opening Nana's gift from everyone FOR HER!

Present time...











Man, I LOVE opening presents! My favorite part is ripping off the bows. It is so exciting to see what is under that paper that I have been told for soooo long not to touch!

Waiting on the Presents




So all I hear about is going to Nana and Papa's to open presents and we have to wait forever. I know Cooper kept telling everyone he was ready but no one would listen. As you can see we waited very patiently and finally it was time!

Getting ready to go to our first round of Christmas!


I was so excited to go to Nana and Papa Joe's! We were opening gifts with Aunt Mandy, Uncle Michael, Cooper and Emma girl.
We had a ball!
