Christmas

Ian definitely got into Christmas more this year than last (you know, when he kept crawling away from the excitement), but mainly because of Audrey's excitement. He loves her so that anything exciting to her is equally exciting to him! He had learned to check his stocking over the recent weeks, but the prize on Christmas this year was the football from Eric. We knew this would be his prized possession and that it had to come from daddy. I mean, this is the boy who will throw his arms up in the air and yell, "FOOTBALL!!" And sometimes there is actually a game on when he does it! I do love this picture of him first thing in the morning at Grandma and Grandpa P's, Nuk in mouth, surveying the chaos that is about to begin!  

Carousel

Yes, Ian really did have this much fun on his first carousel ride at the Children's Museum!

Santa

This is as close as we got to Santa this year! Ian was all smiles until we got a little too close to the big guy. I thought he would sit on Santa's lap while Audrey was talking his ear off, but, not so much. Oh well! He did help Santa out and give him back his sleigh bells!
