Reindeer games

Here in the South, we sled on our boogie boards. And we build "snowtoddlers" instead of full-size snowmen.

Christmas loot

Elliott must have been a nice boy this year because Santa sure was good to him! The eagerly awaited bicycle with no pedals arrived along with a few other things.

First school picture

Ho Ho Ho

Elliott chatted with Santa this afternoon at The Summit in Birmingham.

Elliott was pretty quiet during his visit, but you can see that he says "bicycle with no pedals" as soon as he sits down. He later clarifies that he wants a red one. And then he clammed up. Because what else needs to be said anyway? (Maybe if the lady taking the photo would give him 5 uninterrupted seconds to talk to Santa, but anyhoo.)

Bathtub Rehearsal

Elliott's class is singing "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" in the school musical on Friday. I think that he's been coached to sing LOUD. Or maybe they said to sing EVIL.

This wasn't the clearest version, but it's the one that made me laugh the hardest.
