Belated Christmas Joy

This year it seemed particularly difficult to get the Christmas things up. I "barely" managed to get this little, Charlie Brown tree up before it was time to go and pick up Drew, Alicia and Korven at SLC. If they hadn't been coming I don't know if I would have even bothered (So good thing they came !)

Tyson, Angel and Lincoln met us for breakfast just after we picked them up. Lincoln didn't seem to thrilled about the photo shoot in the parking lot.

Maybe he didn't like the comment about his round head.

Lincoln: "You know, studies have shown a large, round head is a sign of high intellect."
Korven" Yeah, whatever."

Christmas eve.
"Is it time to open presents yet?"

Ok.
I've had my power smoothie,
eaten a breakfast high in sugar
and got my Spongebob slippers on...
Now, can we open presents?

Well, if we have to go through the stockings first...
MMMmmm peperoni stick...
Will you share dad?

I've got plenty of energy now!
Watch me power wrap in reverse.

Some things never lose their thrill.
This has been a stocking stuffer sure bet since Drew was little.

Let me help you there dad. You're going a little slow.

A future venture into food production for the cheeseman.

Mom. THIS is how you do it.

Oh yeah, I know these animal sounds.

Drink more Ovaltine.

Now HOW are we supposed to get this home on the plane?

Sheesh.
Good thing I was here or they'd STILL be unwrapping!

Christmas dinner.

Who says only kids get excited for presents.
Chocolate covered macadamia nuts will do it every time!

Look.
I fit right in here. No problem.

I know.
These are some stylin pj's .

Man, I thought we were done unwrapping.
Good thing grandpa Bob had a birthday.

Look at this cool ladder.
This is my 50th time up and down.

Look ma! No hands.

I know I'm not supposed to get into this but....

Time to go already!
Happy boy.

I have NO idea whose hand prints are on the front door...

Christmas with little ones leaves hand prints on your heart.
