More Festivities

We officially had our first "good snow" of the season last week and Gunnar is definitely a mountain boy.  He LOVED the snow.  Spent hours out in it and any time he had to come in it was a major melt down.  Lucky for him his daddy is the outdoorsy type too so he had an excellent partner in crime.

Here is the view out the east side of our living room:

 Then we had a friend's Christmas party to attend.  It was a blast but I am pretty sure the highlight was that SANTA stopped by.  Here is my favorite candid shot ever as G squealed with excitement at seeing Santa:

 G and the big man:

 There was a pinata to wind up the festivities and of course all the kids were thrilled:

 Then, this weekend we had some friends over for a little Christmas celebration.  The highlight of the evening was the game we gave her son - "Doggy Doo" .  The kids were DYING over the dogs intestinal distress and the adults couldn't stop trying to imagine how the original marketing pitch went.  It was so much fun since G really was able to play and he was so into it.  We had a bit of a meltdown when it was time for the game to go to it's new home and he woke up still talking about "the poop in his shovel".  Hilarious!

 I thought this was also a great shot of G and his kitten.  They are both getting so big!

 We have done Christmas this year in a more Chanukkah fashion, allowing G to open a present a day.  It is really nice as the bribe is handy plus he really spends time with each new toy and acknowledges who it is from versus the total Christmas chaos we had last year.  Today he opened binoculars from Sophie and Keira in Tulsa and loved them!  Then of course we got to talking about going to see Sophie and Keira and now he is totally over the moon.

I am sure I won't be posting again until after Christmas so, MERRY CHRISTMAS from London Acres to your neck of the woods!
