Family Christmas 3

 He outgrew his tortilla blanket, so now he has a bigger waffle blanket!
Surrounded by tons of gifts and she still isn't done yet!
As is a Christmas tradition, Ledge piled all his gifts on the table and drew them!
Now that's a fun Christmas!

Family Christmas 2

 Eating up our cinnamon rolls, building up our energy for the gift unwrapping marathon about to begin!
We've got the fireplace roaring as Ledge opens gifts.
Getting a little peek at what's inside!
I even found some Barbie wrapping paper for the wife's gifts!
What a silly Rainbow Friend!

Family Christmas 1

 Our newly decorated tree looks quite lovely on Christmas morn.
Now that's a lot of gifts!
We've got one lucky little boy, that's for sure!
Let the unwrapping begin!

 Chowing down while watching the football game. It may come as a shock, but I wasn't really too disappointed that my seat couldn't see the TV.
Ledger opening up one of his gifts!
A cool pouch to store his new Sphero ball in!
Even more gifts!

Get after it, kids!
So cute!

Shop Local

 Wandering around downtown Allegan.
Making up stories and doing silly voices for the different crocheted characters in the store. The ladies behind the counter were spellbound and laughing so hard! That boy is funny, I'll tell you that!
A veritable feast of pizza goodness to end our successful shopping trip!



Puttin' Up the Tree

 Ledge had to, as per his annual tradition, hop in the tree box!
I'm pretty sure Ledge's favorite part was the tinsel!
All tinseled up!
It's starting to take shape!
Ooh! Looks good! (We kind of forgot to get a new tree skirt that would match our new colors... I guess we will fix it next year!)
We even made the outside lights Christmasy!

Choir Concert

 The auditorium starts to fill up as the concert start time gets closer.
Mema and Papa, ready for the show!
Proud parents of our lil' singer!
Sing it, kid!
A successful concert performed, his grandparents are quite proud! 
Well done, Grun!

Santa Parade

 Ledge chatting with friends.
Mema and Papa trying to stay warm.
The fire truck all decorated up!
My beautiful wife and I!
Get that candy, boy!

Santa arrives in Allegan!
Walking over to the park to see the tree lighting!
