Christmas

Because we were flying South on Christmas day, and staying at a hotel near the airport on Christmas Eve, we opened presents a little early.
This would be a picture of Max's forced smile because I promised him this would be the last picture if he would smile.
"What is my favorite gift?"
"Pablo!"
(from the Backyardigans cartoon. He also got Tyrone; although he is still holding out for Uniqua--pronounced "you-KNEE-qwuh"
This present was a big hit for Atticus. He sat in front of that thing for days. It is the perfect height for him to look in the mirror and smile at the baby looking back at him. He also gives him lots of high-fives.
After opening presents, we headed over to the park for some sledding.
It was really really cold, but we didn't have a far walk. In fact, you can see the back of our house...the yellow one on the far right side of the picture.

While Max went sledding,
Atticus slept.
Max REALLY wanted to go down the snow-covered slide. Big surprise...
it led to this.
