A Merry Christmas Day in Colorado

 stocking check...Yup, Santa was here!!!

 so happy he wasn't on the naughty list!

 He asked for candy from Santa so he got a big bag of M&Ms in his stocking

 favorite toy this year from Santa was a remote control motorcycle

 but it's all about Star Wars this year too!

 This one is heavy

 Relaxing morning at Holly's house

 ...but Alexander was full of antics on the stairs

 oh, the look in his eye...what's he going to do next?

 A moment of calm before more presents with Ali, Matt, Barb, and Gene!

 showing off the shades

 I want to be in the picture too

 playing his new game with Nana

 Matt :)

 Ali :)

 Alternating opening gifts with eating Pirate Booty

He got a giant bag of pirate booty for Christmas and he snacked on it all day long (see family pic above too)!

 Star Wars Legos!

more December activities...

 Snowflakes on our window mimic the wintery days we've had

 making gingerbread cookies for gifts

 ....and decorating some for himself

 a little get together at Debbie's house (Barb and Gene's next door neighbors)

 I love eating popcorn but I love dumping it our even more

 still loving my bath time

 helping Nana with dinner prep

 he loves bananas

 and yogurt sometimes

 goofing off with Holdon

 in line to see Santa

decorating cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve at our friends' house

getting ready for Christmas

 I left the room for a minute and Nate took charge with the decorating!

 

Out on the town in Summit County

Thanksgiving

 very curious and getting taller...uh oh

 maybe the broom could clean up the puzzle pieces

 Alexander stirring the science experiment after he saw Nate doing it.

 Science in the kitchen

 good thing it is pretend or he would have no eyelashes or eyebrows left

 I love bath time

 Nice snowy day in Boulder County
