The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (toddler mania style)

Nate is completely and totally smitten with Elmo, and he has never even seen Sesame Street!
Meet Spike! Milo is pretty sure there is only room for one large creature in the family!
Total Christmas overload Face!
Nate liked stacking his presents up to climb almost as much as opening them!
 A Little Christmas snuggle with daddy!
Eli and his Pop Pop!

Pop Pop singing to Eli!
Wild man Nate on the loose at Aunt Valmere and Uncle Wyn's House the day after Christmas!
Mommy and her boys! 

We had the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!! Having small children is such a treat at the holidays because they bring back all of the magic and wonder! Watching Eli's face when he realized that Santa had eaten his cookies was priceless! Nate and Eli marveling over their amazing presents and the pure joy that each one elicited was so special! Most particularly, I loved watching Gromma and Pop Pop and Eli and Nate enjoy each other so much! We even had an adventure (fog and flooding... what's next the plague?) when we drove to Bloomington the day after Christmas to spend some family time with my Aunt Val (Gromma's sister) and Uncle Wyn! We really cherish the time with family!

P.S. Notice in the first two pictures you catch a glimpse of the elusive Gromma! She is practically as rare of a sighting on film as the Yeti!
