We had a lot of fun taking our Christmas pics this year. Jordan took our pics and got Tripp to smile everytime (no surprise there, the kid is pretty goofy;).
Tripp got to see Santa twice this year. This one is at a furniture store. Tripp even touched his beard. I think he was grossed out cuz his hand is still sticking up after touching it -like it was germ infested or something.
We visited this Santa at the High School where they had a free community dinner and all the kids got a present after sitting on Santa's lap. We went with Tripp's friend Gabe.
Something we've learned this year is that Tripp is way too smart and can find a way to climb up on to just about everything.
And that he loves egg nog milkshakes as much as we do. Look at the seriousness on his face. He wouldn't even share with us, the little stink! 
We went to a Festival of the Nativity a couple of weeks ago with Mike and Tina, and got to see Nativities from all around the world. There were a ton! We got to dress up in nativity clothes and get our pics taken. This was how it turned out:
I hope all of you are enjoying this holiday season. And good luck with 2010!
I didn't make the door large enough so he always hits his head on the top of the door frame.

Tripp has been playing with it nonstop. So if you need any gift ideas, get a big box. Inexpensive and lots of fun. Making this house reminds me of a house my mom made for us several years ago when my sisters and I were little. Her's was more blinged out than mine. She painted it to look just like a real house with flower pots under the windows and everything. I enjoy reliving those memories with my son. Thanks mom for the awesome idea!
