I made a little slideshow of bits and pieces of our Christmas weekend with our little guy, starting out with Christmas Eve cinnamon roll making (awesome new tradition) and ending with him opening a few straggling presents today.

I’m hoping to post some video soon, but I know my family is chomping at the bit to see photos. So here you go, a quick little slideshow wrapping it all up. Oh, and Elf is one of my favorite holiday movies, so even though Pennies from Heaven isn’t a Christmas song, it always feels “Christmassy” to us.

Here’s a bit of a top 5 list of Miles’ favorite (most played with) gifts, so far.

My mom found this play violin that Miles is in LOVE with.

Hungry, Hungry Hippos is a hit with ALL of us. When it gets really close, Miles and I scream really loud. It’s so much fun.

The Disney semi-trailer thingy was a huge hit too.

We were all at Borders a while ago and found these squishy gag gifts that Miles (and us, as well) laughed hysterically at. The rubber chicken was the first gift Miles opened in his stocking and it started the morning with laughs. I wish you could see the yolk in the “egg.” It’s so weird! That’s John wearing his new tool belt in the background with a new pancake spatula in one of the compartments. (Yes, we are strange.)

This was a close second, the super gross squishy net ball thing.

To wrap things up, I had to post this silly photo of Whisper. I don’t know what it is, but her little ernest head just sitting there holding her toy, just melts my heart. All three of the pugs had gifts to open and they always add so much to our Christmas morning.

Thanks for taking a peek into our holiday!
