When we installed the gas longs a few weeks ago (thank you to Dave and Cindy for our early Christmas gift), Nico was very concerned about how Santa was going to get down the chimney. Fortunately for us, Santa found a way.
He must have been a good boy, because he made out nicely again this year with tons of presents! Christmas with a 3 year old is awesome. Loved his reactions to it all!
He played with his new toys for an hour or so, and then, it was off to Grandma and Grandpa's house for my dad's famous french toast and a continuation of our Christmas with my family.
We thoroughly enjoyed giving my mom a hard time for her fancy mimosa bar and attributed it to Jessica being in town and her "desire to impress."
This guy was anxious to get to the gifts!
My favorite reaction of the day to his giant tractor.
Nico completed his Ninja Turtles set with 4 other characters and a giant playset. He also got many other gifts from my parents, Ryan and Jessica, and both sets of great grandparents that it was hard to keep track of everything. My favorite gifts were the latte machine and the cutest framed picture of Nico that my parents took. David's were the Jack Allen's cookbook and soccer XBOX game.
Here's that picture that made me tear up...
I love my little family.

We had a few rematches of Jenga and Cards against Humanity.
This led to shots.
And a little backyard golfing.
They crack me up.
Had a nice traditional ham dinner with all of the usual sides. Nico especially enjoyed jello jiggers for dessert.
I had the no-makeup look going all day, thanks to my intense itchy eyes from cedar fever! Ugh!
Take 1 of 2 of the end of night group selfie photo. This involved me going midway up the stairs, hitting the camera button, and sprinting back down to make it in time. It was difficult to keep a straight face at this point in the night.
Take 2.
Another memorable Christmas with the ones we love. Life is good.
