AJ is telling Santa that he wants a train and a tractor for Christmas and that he has been a very good boy.
Santa gave him a candy cane after their visit. Whenever he was asked what he wanted for Christmas from then on he said a candy cane. Note to Santa: AJ would have been happy with just a candy cane...
Opening gifts from Aunt Cathy and Uncle Don on Christmas Eve after mass. On Christmas Eve we usually go up north to my parents but the roads were slippery so we stayed in Wausau.
The train pieces AJ got from Aunt Cathy & Uncle Don to add to his new train table and train set (that was actually used- I got a fantastic deal on a bunch of different tracks, trains and accessories).
Christmas morning opening stocking gifts. He didn't notice all the presents under the tree, he saw Cookie Monster popping out of his stocking on the couch. I guess it takes a big blue monster to notice anything.
A favorite gift!
Scanning the next present to open...
And then scanning it again once it was opened!
Playing the triangle from his new band set. Christmas Day my parents and brother usually come down by us for dinner but they didn't come because the roads were a mess again! So we went up to Harshaw on Saturday. It was beautiful and sunny in Wausau when we left at 12:45...
When we got up there we went sledding and then had our "appetizer dinner" at my parents' house.

Geoff, Adreanna and Parker going down the 'homemade' hill right in their front yard! Geoff made it with the hootenanny (skidsteer). At the top, about to go down...
...not getting very far before they wiped out!
Steve and AJ heading down. AJ's first run down (this could have been it) he fell and got a bloody lip. He didn't cry at all. Gotta survive the first sledding injury! He was eager for more sledding fun.
