Christmas Celebrations

Prior to traveling for the larger family Christmas, the three of us had our own little celebration.

Putting together one of the new Lego minifigures

One of his new Toy Story books
I love that in the middle of the celebration, he stopped to
read his new book. He even asked if he could.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer has
become a bit of an obsession this year

For the big family gathering we met in St. Louis this year. The last time we had Christmas outside of Mt. Carmel was when I was Alex's age when we went to visit my grandparents in Florida.

Dad's played this game with all of the grandkids

This year, Alex got him back

Mom opening the annual calendar

Patiently waiting

Alex got to pass out the gifts,
an honor going to the youngest in the family
(Forrest and I had the longest stints in that position)
