Christmas, Christmas, Fa-la-la-la-la!

 The cool keyboard and Gators hat from Grandma and Poppa.

 Stocking time!

 Looks like he got the remote control big rig he asked Santa for!

 This one said "To: Pound Cake, From: Santa"

 Looks like Pound Cake got a new dog house!

 Cool Badger hat!!

 A soccer goal for the yard

 Somewhere to put ALL my Legos from Aunt Cathy and Uncle Don

 He had Snoopy but now Snoopy has his aviator garb!

BIG SMILES!

Christmas Eve

We had Christmas Eve at my parents' house which means that Adreanna, Parker and AJ play dress up.

 AJ is Doctor Love...

 She looks like the evil doctor... I don't know if I trust her!

 Making guns out of the marble run pieces... No words.

 Fun with food!

 I'm queen of the world!

 The good stuff...

 Uncle Geoff is determined to play a trick on AJ and it worked!  He wrapped Pound Cake in some paper and unwrapped it like it was a gift for him.

 AJ tries to take Pound Cake from Uncle Geoff but he tells him it was a gift to him.  AJ is so confused!

AJ's visit with Santa

AJ told Santa he wanted a remote control big rig and a guitar.  I wonder if he'll get what he asked for...

Random Holiday Pictures

 Jingle Bells, our resident elf from Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, is up to no good.  He took AJ's underwear and hung it out where the stockings go!

 Jingle Bells = Shenanigans.  Having a marshmallow fight with Oreo.

 See, we used his Santa suit again! At the Mobile Meals Volunteer Holiday Tea.

And the candy canes!  Sweet shenanigans this time by Jingle Bells... I heart AJ.  So cute!

St. Nick came around to our house!

AJ's question this year to St. Nick was "What is your horse's name?" to which he replied, "Constantine".  I love St. Nick day because it is so simple and fun.

Chop, Chop, Chop, TIMBER!!

We cut down the tree on a rainy mild weathered day.  It was kind of weird and very un-Christmas like.  We tried a new place this year because our usual place was closed for some reason.  Our usual place is much more festive and charming.  AJ had fun regardless!

Field trip to the School Forest

AJ and his class had a field trip to the School Forest.  It was a cold, clear day but we learned a few things while we were there!

 Listening to our guide do turkey calls.  The kids thought it was hilarious!
