Here comes Santa Claus

Daddy's favorite job of the year is unfurling a tied up Frasier Fir from Lowe's only to discover, it is rather puny and deficient of full pine-needle-action coverage.

Mommy opened her best Christmas present ever -- Baby Bear!!!

Daddy wants to take a nap and a bath while Baby wants to play and eat the pine needles.

This was Brantley's first ever Santa experience. He seemed a little confused about this dude at first, but did well. We were concerned, because we have a family member that has clinically diagnosed Santaphobia. This could potentially be a hereditary condition, so this was a big step. (Let's just say that as a child, if one of us wanted to see Santa, we had to stand in line ourselves...that's tough for a 3 year old).


Brantley did start cyring, however; but only because St. Nick yelled and Ho-Ho-Ho all up in his ear. You gotta warn a brotha' before you go doing that all point blank and such.
