As scared of Grandma's fake Santa as Aiden was just a month ago, he got over it pretty quickly when we got back to Gunnison for Christmas. By the end of the second day, Aunt Kathryn had hidden the power cord to spare us a homicidal Christmas. Aiden and all his little cousins pushed the button for pretty much 7 hours straight.

This is exactly how happy it made Aiden...


He did pretty well with the REAL fake Santa, too!

As promised Mom, here's some pictures of Aiden in his Christmas presents:


Our own little Sheriff Woody, how perfect that when we got home there was a box waiting from Christine with Jackson's old cowboy boots in it.

Lori and I took the kids out sledding, the absence of hills placed the majority of the burden on us to pull them. Aiden didn't actually LOOK like he was having fun, but the arms say it all!

And finally, our token snowman, pretty small, I know, but to the little kids it was life-size, right?
