In Case You Didn't Know...

Just sayin'

Photo-Op With Santa

Through a friend of ours, we were told that of all places, Bass Pro Shops had a pretty cool Santa workshop setup.  "You got to be kidding me", I thought.  "How red can this be!?".  "Is Santa chilling in a rocker on his make believe front porch with a 12 gauge waiting for Rudolph to get back from a smoke break 'cause he stole the last pouch of Santa's Red Man?"  

You know where I'm going.  Bottom-line, you don't expect a whole lot.

To be honest, it was pretty cool.  They had train sets running, games set up for kids, huge X-mas trees... the whole bit.  We got in line and waited for Ethan's first picture with Santa.  Right before it was our turn, Christina leaned over and told me not to act like an ass in the picture.  That's all I had to hear.

A couple of things to note in this picture.  Christina, the anal mom, looks pristine and happy because it's her baby's first Christmas picture with the jolly fat man.  My son, who is new to this whole experience, looks VERY concerned.  Even a little creeped out by the situation.  Finally, there's Pops... rockin' a 'burgh sweatshirt and throwin' some horns.  You gotta love this family.

Keebler Beware

Christina decided to make a few cookies this weekend for the holidays.  No wonder why a brother has packed on an extra 30lbs on his frame.  But they're sooooo good... and bite sized!

Let There Be Light!

This weekend I promised my wife I would put up some Christmas lights.  Unfortunately, I had to work majority of it at the office.  But this does not mean you can't at least try, right!

Within the darkness I was able to fumble around on a ladder with enough confidence not to break my neck... to my wife's dismay.  Christina was able to put up the tree and decorate it as if it was chillin' in the main lobby of a Macy's department store (more picture on that later this week).  You can definitely tell it's her favorite time of year.
