Our Christmas Photo Review...

What a way to end Christmas day...a little naked play time with a new car. ;)

Christmas cheers!

My Mama and me :)

Let the train table fun begin!

A big thank you hug for Mimi!

Testing out the bike...frog helmet and all!

My FOREVER best Christmas present...my Bear Cub!

Here he is, carefully putting on the GIANT plastic ruby ring that he picked out all by himself for me. In all its plastic glory, it's just about the most beautiful thing ever. :) He's so proud to have shopped for me. What a sweetheart!

For Daddy, he chose a heavy-duty Post-It notes holder for his desk. Too cute. :)

Opening his new vet kit...Zoe was interested in that one!

"Reading" one of his new books

Daddy and BC playing with his TiNY new "mote and troll" car that Santa brought!

Yup! The cookies and celery were gone...left in its place, a LONG letter back from Santa, answering the many questions BC had for him. "Do you like dogs?" "What's your favorite type of frog?" "Do you like Rudolph?" "Do you like science?" Santa just HAD to answer all of those! :)

Posing with his stuffed kitty and new frog that Santa left.

The Wonder Pets "fly boat!"

Zoe, going to town on her new stuffed fox from Santa.

Bear Cub on his big boy bike! He's getting the hang of it! He rode all around the block this weekend!

LOVE those stockings!

BC checking out his Santa goods...Zoe fussing at him about something. :)

Heading in to check it all out! (even Zoe!)

"Can we go downstairs yet? PLEASE??"

BC helped EVERYONE open their gifts!

Giving Grandpa a squeeze after he opened up the screwdriver set that BC picked out ALL by himself! :)

Spending some time with Grandma! BC picked out a pug in a sweater ornament for her!

Playing with Aunt Steph and baby! We're expecting that lil girl to arrive within the next 24 hours!

Christmas Eve at Auntie A and Uncle E's house!

Handsome Mr. O!! Mimi came over for a visit that afternoon too. As always, we LOVED having our cousins here! :)

Hi everyone! I truly hope your Christmas was as joyful as ours! We had a very busy week last week, with BC's 2 days of school, a GREAT visit from my cousins and their baby (Mr. O!!), and of course, Christmas Eve and Christmas day with family.

Bear Cub was SO excited to come downstairs on Christmas morning -- he was up by 6:45 and ready to GO! He pretty much walked right passed the main Santa gifts and headed straight to the stockings on the couch! He had fun digging in (and of course, opening up some candy!) and we finally had to direct him to the BIG stuff. Like, "Hey, LOOK! Santa left you a BIKE and more cool toys, too!" :) I just don't think he knew where to look....new stuff all around! We had a really nice morning, just the 3 of us here. Bear Cub really took his time, opening, and then playing with, each gift. Our morning was spread over at least a couple of hours - it was so fun and relaxing! Mimi came over later in the day and we enjoyed more Christmas time...and the main event for BC was opening his BIG gift...a new train table from Mimi!! Oh my, he is in heaven with this thing! It really is amazing!

Ahhhh....so another Christmas has come and gone. Bear Cub makes them so special - it really is just the best to see it all through a child's eyes again. Lots of sweet memories made! Enjoy the pictures!
