Back to reality

Well, we're back from hiatus! The last week and half was jam-packed and busy, but we're back in New Jersey. Brian and I are back at work and Little Man is back to enjoying his days with Grammie.

Landon had a great first Christmas. We really went out of our way not to spoil him...but that doesn't mean everyone else followed suit! He had so much fun opening his presents and playing with the paper. I lost track of how many times we had to pull tissue paper out of his mouth!

Yum, stocking stuffers are tasty. And I know what these are for!

(He started pulling out his stocking stuffers without any encouragement from Brian or me.)

I got it, Mom! Lay off and let me open my own presents. 

Where is my special Christmas breakfast? 

Landon surrounded by his pile of presents. I waited until Christmas to give him all his 6-month toys. 

I think he knew that they were for him...

...because he immediately started opening them!

Thank you, Pop-Pop. I couldn't reach that one. 

This paper is so exciting! 

Blocks! Yay! 

I gotta hold the present with my feet while I rip as much paper as I can.

Still working on opening the blocks. 

Finally! They are free...now what do I do with them??

Again, I have to hold them up with my feet. 

Trucks!

My first Christmas...and I liked it *THIS* much!

Bring that back here! Where are you taking my toys?

Thanks again, Pop-Pop.

Well, what else do you have for me?

Seriously...where are the rest of my presents??

Thanks, Mom. 

Keep 'em coming!

Woo! I love paper and I love being the center of attention. 

Dad, bring me some gifts, please. This is fun.

You can take this one back. I'm not sure I like it. 

I'll write more about his first Christmas and our trip to Ohio soon.
