Merry Christmas (Again)!!! - 12/25/10
Santa Claus came!! Harrison ran right over to the cookies and milk when he got up this morning!
He was SO EXCITED when he noticed the stockings had been filled!
More excitement!
An early break to try out the chocolate bars that Santa brought for him.
Declan's new buddy and other toys from his stocking.
"This is a neat new toy!"
"My favorite toys from Santa!!"
Time to cook! (Harrison made us hamburgers right away)
Another chocolate bar break...this one on his new Snoopy plate.
Declan got this adorable new hat from Santa and he tried it out on our walk today. It wasn't really Christmas weather, but a beautiful crisp day.
Declan and Aunt Jane (modeling her new hat!)

Christmas Eve Cookies For Santa!! 12/24/10
We made more cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve...and Harrison was a pro! He had so much fun!!
He did a great job decorating all of the cookies for Santa...
...and transferring them to the cookie tray
When it came time to fix a plate of milk and cookies for Santa, Harrison decided that Santa should have all two dozen cookies...
...and that some of them should be pre-dunked in milk
...okay, a lot of them needed to be pre-dunked!
Here is the finished plate of cookies for Santa. Harrison took a lot of care in getting those cookies to look just right and wanted to get as many in the milk for Santa as he could. He did not want to leave the plate there and kept wanting to work on his arrangement for Santa! (Last I checked, he was still awake in his bed, too!)

Merry Christmas (Early)! - 12/22/10
Merry Christmas (early) from our family! Since Kevin has to work over the holiday, we celebrated an 'early' Christmas as a family...but, Santa is still coming on Christmas Eve! Harrison had so much fun and did a great job helping hand out presents. Declan seemed to enjoy all of the excitement as well! I took tons of pictures, so of course it was hard to trim down which ones to include on the blog...this is only a small part of what I took!
We made cookies for Santa, but I don't think any will make it to Christmas Eve!
Digging in to the first gift!
Baby Declan wasn't left out (we even took a break for most of his nap time).
"I wonder how often all of this craziness takes place??"
Looking for the perfect gift to hand out (or open).
Checking out his new book while Harrison runs around opening gifts.
"I wonder what this could be??"
"This one looks neat!" (see video)
"For Me!!"
The aftermath.
Time to start playing!
What happened?
Helping Declan play the next morning.
Declan was in love with this little blanket he got...even the next morning.
And some videos....
