Birthday Time!!

December’s a big month.
First we get ready for Christmas, by decorating the tree downstairs.

Hey, they all fit on 1 branch!

Dad let me hang all the balls on the tree.

Those candy canes will make a great midnight snack!

This year, Caleb and I got our own tree, too!

You need a tree right here.

I also wanted to help Mom put her Christmas Village out.

A train would be great!

And of course, I visited with Santa.

After all that Christmas preparation, it’s time for my Birthday!

Bob The Builder time!

I had my first Birthday party with my friends this year.

Somebody light the candles!

I had a Bob The Builder Birthday Party…

Muck wants some cake too.

…complete with a Bob The Builder birthday cake…

HONK!

…and a special party hat.

Now we're talking!

The cake was great.

I'm the Birthday Boy!

Of course, on the actual day of my Birthday, we got to eat more cake!

Before I knew it, it was Christmas Eve!

Don't forget to blow out the candles!

I kissed Grammy goodnight…

I left some for the reindeer, too.

…and put out Milk and Cookies for Santa.

When I woke up, Santa had come!

Sleepy-head.

I got an awesome train set!

Buzz is my favorite Toy Story guy.

And a Buzz Lightyear!!

But the best part of Christmas (besides celebrating Jesus’ Birthday)…

Christmas Cousins

is visiting with your Family!

Caleb’s First Christmas

Caleb’s First Christmas

I heard that Christmas was coming up.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth...

It made me very happy.

Prickly!

I helped Grammy put up her tree…

I think we need more presents!

…and then we put up one of our own.

Brandon told me to not be scared.

…and went to see Santa…

Open Me First!!

…and wrapped up all the presents.

On Christmas Eve, we had some guests!

Just like a trampoline!

Paw-Paw came up...

Do I have to go to sleep now?

…and so did Grammy!

The next day was Christmas!

Faster!!

I got a new ride-on car…

Now who can I get to read to me...

…and new books…

Dad - It's talking!!

…and a talking Pooh Bear!

I think this one's bigger than me.

The gifts just kept on coming…

Another package and I think I'll be snowed under.

…and coming.

2 Angels in their Christmas Outfits

I think Christmas is Mommy’s favorite holiday.

Christmas was wonderful

Do you have a hat that's a little smaller?

I wonder if Santa needs a helper.

No? Oh, well.

Probably not.
