Beau & Bennett: A Very Merry Christmas

We truly had a very Merry Christmas this year with Beau. He was so excited about every gift and seeing all our family. He was so much fun! He didn't want Santa to come, since Santa is a big, scary looking guy, so we didn't make a big deal of it Christmas Eve. Then on Christmas morning, all the toys were under the tree, and Beau started to think that Santa was a pretty good guy after all. He kept saying, "Look at all the toys! All the toys Santa Claus brought! Thank you, Santa Claus!"

Our first stop was Hansen family Christmas in White Hall.

They were amazed at Beau's iPhone skills...impressive for a 2 year old.

Opening the 1st gift - Kung Fu Pets! I was skeptical of the hamster concept, but Beau loved it!

We spent Christmas Eve in Hot Springs.
Beau and Nee Nee made gingerbread cookies.

The finished product! Beau liked the gumdrop candy the best.

Barkley got a BIG bone! Between it and Christmas dinner leftovers, he was a happy dog!

This camo truck with a 4-wheeler and trailer was a big hit! Thanks, Nana and Pokey! This was the 1st toy Beau picked up when we were finally home for a play day with all his new stuff.
