Christmas....

I have to start this out with a funny story. Throughout the Christmas season I had been telling Talan that Santa was going to be coming to his house with presents if he was a nice boy. After my mom heard me saying this a couple times she mentioned that I should teach him about why we celebrate Christmas. So Tal and I were in the car one morning and I told him that the reason we celebrate is because it's Jesus' birthday...he thought this over for a second and then replied "Mom, you need to go to the store and get Jesus his OWN presents!" Kids are so cute...but mine is down right hilarious!

Adam and I were SUPER excited for Christmas this year. Last year we were in New York over the holiday so we didn't put up a tree or any decorations and Talan was still pretty young to grasp everything. Needles to say, we felt as though this year we had some making up to do and we wanted to make it memorable for our little guy!

When we went to pick out a tree we were greeted by Santa Claus who graciously (for $5) took a picture with Talan and let him ring his reindeer bells.

On Christmas Eve I of course had to do the tradition of opening up one present...

...Christmas pj's!

Santa's most handsome elf, Adam, stayed up very late assembling the new bed and helping wrap the remaining presents!

Talan was so cute when he came down the stairs...

a new bike!

Walking around deciding what to open...

Trying out his new big boy Cars bed!

Rico had to try it out too...

After opening gifts at our house we went over to White Papa's and Grandma's! We had brunch and had a nice morning watching Talan open presents!

Great Grandpa and Grandma Dunford....aren't they adorable!

Then we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner...and of course more presents!

We celebrated Christmas with my Mom that Sunday. Here's my little stud on the way to church.

Beautiful Nanna....so excited for her Shark Steamer.

Unfortunately Nonnie was sick but we had a great time chatting, cooking, and spending time at her house!

We are truly blessed with so many people that love Talan. He is by far the most spoiled child in the world but he deserves it!!!
