A very merry Max and Kira

Kira enjoyed her first Christmas, while Max got spoiled by Santa (and lots of other generous elves).  They both required/requested several outfit changes throughout the day.  Max is completely certain that Santa is Uncle (a byproduct of his birthday party), but still despises his beard. 

Merry Christmas!!! 

Like wearing my pjs, Kira? 

Sure, Max! 

Very excited about this toothbrush...it did come with Yankee stickers  

All aboard!

Santa finally made his way to Target to get the bike Max had been eyeing during  every Target run for months.  

Max did a great job decorating the gingerbread house, eating a reasonable amount of the decor, while creating an edible work of art.  Too bad mommy destroyed it as soon as he left the room.  Totally by accident.  Really!

Baby grande piano- huge hit!!

This enormous hoop was a birthday present.  Max loves it, and despite it being way to high for him and our house, he has made tons of baskets and can only get better.
