Winter Wonderland

We had a great holiday season and an especially fun Christmas. My little monkey is just old enough that he likes opening presents, loves Santa Claus, and really loves playing in the snow. The picture above is the monkey right before going down our homemade snow hill in front of our house. 

The little monkey loves the snow and will keep playing in it for hours, until you make him come inside. Our dog also loves the snow and I like to watch him hop around in it like a giant bunny. He also likes eating it.

On Christmas Eve we went over to Grandma's for some tasty fondue, a Christmas pageant, and our traditional ride to look at Christmas lights. My little monkey thought he was the star of the pageant.

Here is Mr. Tigger and my little monkey opening up a Thomas the Train movie, which has been playing continually at my house ever since.

Santa brought my little guy a mini guitar so that he doesn't have to borrow mama's anymore. It doesn't sound as good, but monkey doesn't seem to mind.

Monkey also got one of those old-fashioned viewers in his stocking and absolutely loves it. He gets to look at pictures of the Incredibles and Clifford, which he thinks is awesome.

Don't worry, Santa didn't forget the dog. 

On Christmas we went over to Mr. Tigger's parent's house for lunch, more presents, and a rocking good time. Gotta love that rock band.

And, after all of that holiday partying, we were pretty tired so we all went to bed. Monkey has a new big-boy bed that he loves, although I'm not sure how he fits in it with all the animals that also have to come.
