Keepin it light, so I’ll give you a brief tour of our Christmas with pictures.
A taste of Christmas Eve Activities.
An idea of how spoiled Braden is.
Breakfast.
Test Drive!
Fire Engine Siren Testing.
Tootsie Adoration Moment.
Taking a Break.
The Posse Ventures Outside.
After that, Momma’s trigger finger kind of went numb.
This was the best Christmas I can remember in a long, long time. Having a child really brings the magic back to the day. I think he had a lot of fun today. I know I sure did. He’s fast asleep and I look fondly at these pictures now. I hope your day was as great as ours was.
Oh, and John still has one more present to unwrap…
Merry Crotchmas!

How did Braden go with the present unwrapping? Amy got overwhelmed after a few gifts and we had to leave some until later. She was much happier with the food and the small trickle of gifts from family though out the day.
Merry Christmas, I’m glad you had a great day!

I love those little Tyke’s cars. We always called them the Flintstone cars. Unfortunately, my children never had one. Back in the day of our small kids, that was a major expense. And they’re too big for one now that I could buy several!!! Oh well, now they get computers and expensive cameras and such. My son did get a fire truck and a tractor to drive. And did he ever wear them out.

Ha-ha-ha!! The look on your husband’s face is priceless when he’s reading those instructions. I spent the better part of Christmas Eve with that very same look on my own face!

My grandkids have one of those cars. It’s held up for 9 years, through 4 kids. Must be well-made. I want some of your munchies. The salami and the bread look very tasty!

Good to see the great things that happened in the Carroll household today. Amos went sledding! He wishes he could have shared that with Braden.
Merry Christmas, Carrolls.

My kids loved those cars – we gave ours to my 2 year-old nephew & it’s hard to pry him away from it.
Looks like you had a great day (and evening!).
Angie
Why didn’t I think of that? My John would have much rather received that than the traditional ‘dad’ gifts of socks, t-shirts & underwear! Okay, maybe he got a few more things than that, but he still would have preferred that red bow!!
Glad your day went well.

the bow was the perfect ending to your (as usual) wonderful photos.
toes, though. i’m gonna chew on those toes. i can never get enough baby toes. (must be because my “babies” walk around on freakin’ GUNBOATS now.)

Looks like the little guy had a great Christmas. It is amazing what children add to the holidays. Nothing quite as precious as the holidays through a child’s eyes!

My daughter got one of those cars for Christmas several years ago. She loved it, but it drove me crazy because she then wanted to go everywhere in it instead of in the stroller. Observe, if you will, the astounding noise they made on asphalt. Glad she enjoyed it but was even happier to pass it on to an unsuspecting friend. Good luck!!

Merry Crotchmas! I love Braden’s new wheels.
My mom got me a ton of new undies from Old Navy. I was sooo excited. I am officially old.
p.s. I am going to post Miss A’s meme this week!
