The big man (and we're talking BIG) in the red suit at the mall. It may be February, but we are still awash with Christmas spirit here at our house. Not a day goes by that we don't talk about Santa, or play Santa, or sing about Christmas, or ask about presents and/or candy. You get the drift. Santa and all his wonderous ways were in full force this year and it truly was fantastic. We started in October when Tyler learned the Chipmunk's Christmas song and while it peaked at a 4-5 times a day one-man concert, now we're down to hearing it maybe three times a week. We're still reading our Christmas books and just this morning we watched "The Polar Express," again. And although "Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas" crecendoed around New Years, we're still watching that a lot, too.

Eventually I'm sure we'll start talking about other things and Christmas will fade away. Tyler knows that Santa is in Mexico right now sucking down margaritas and taking a vacation, but I have to admit that I absolutely love his enthusiasm and excitment for the holidays and I am enabling as much of it as possible (especially the part where Santa is watching so he needs to be good - boy that's an amazing behavior modifier!!).
Show us your bowl full of jelly!
Tristan, of course, was just in awe of all the activity. Tyler opened every one of all of our presents and Tristan delighted in the ripping of the paper, the climbing into the boxes. Next year we're going to have our hands full. So, here's to keeping the Christmas spirit with you all year long!
Tristan would make a b-line straight for the tree every chance he got. Needless to say, it looked a little bare on the bottom.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
I need to sleep all this excitement off.
Oh, boxes and paper! Just what I wanted!
On the go!
The best present ever!
