christmas morning...

the day had finally arrived! christmas was here!

max grabbed the camera out of my hands so he could take pictures of "momma" and "daddy."

don't we look fantastic? :)

little dude dug right into his stocking, a peppermint bark snowman, jelly belly beans, a few silly toys, two new movies (epic and the lorax) and candy canes!

we enjoyed playing with the light up nose...until it stopped lighting up 5 minutes later.  booo.

then it was onto the presents!
first the gifts from santa...

could it be?
yes, it's the shark with rips in its fins, just like he wanted!

look at the expression on his face.  priceless!

and he knew, as soon as the paper was torn off

santa, went to build a bear, 

and got his red panda!

love at first sight!

such pure joy and happiness that his wishes were granted.

and next, his gifts from mom and dad.
libby had to get in for a closer look!

an imaginext pirate sub!
we also each gifted him a special adventure.
daddy is going to take him to a hockey game and i'm going to take him skiing!!!
