Christmas at Home, Part 2

"Tyler, who came last night?"

"SANTA!"


not sure about that face!

his very own "Hot Dog," so we wouldn't have to constantly show him the Hot Dog Dance video (it didn't work...)

 Tyler needs a little work on his jumpshot, so we just stuck with dunking.




His big gift was a tent and tunnel.  When he came downstairs, he saw it and immediately said "Addison!" because his cousin has a tent.  We had to explain to him that it was his tent.

We all joined in playing in the tent!

"Hey, Mom?  That's cool and all, but get out of my tent"






He's obsessed with keys (what little kid isn't?), and Santa found these metal keys that come with buttons that make honking, ignition, lock/unlock the doors, etc. sounds.  I have to be clear -- at no point did we stage/direct Tyler to do any of the following things:

"lock" his Chris-moose after he got off of it

try to unlock the door

no really, that's what he's trying to do!

Christmas at Home, Part 1

Since Santa was coming on Christmas Day, we decided as a family to open presents on Christmas Eve.  Jason got most of the pictures, so the awesome in-focus ones of me and Tyler are his.  The dark (because our house is a cave) fuzzy ones of him are mine.



that's a toy eggplant, in case you were trying to figure it out...
