Santa came to Tobias' preschool class and the only reason that he was willing to sit on his lap was that he got a present out of the deal. When I tried to explain to him the whole idea of Santa bringing presents to our house, he said "I do NOT want Santa to come in my house. I don't like him."

When we got our Christmas tree from the the tree lot, Tobias was so upset because the tree was so big! Apparently, he was expecting something more his size. So I gave him a little one to decorate for himself.
Here's Tobias "helping" uncle Eric open his presents :)
Here's Papa (my dad) opening a present with Kiernan.
The first Present Kiernan opened had these pretty decorative berries on them and he was so excited about it that he ditched the rest of the present! We had to show him that there was actually something inside the fun wrapping. It's so cute when they are so pleased about the simplest things.
Tobias with his stocking Christmas morning at our house. Tobias later referred to one of his little toys that came out out of his stocking as his "toe present" because it came out of the toe of his stocking :)
Justin is trying to coax Kiernan away from the new toy so he would open his stocking, but it wasn't an easy task.
Before Christmas, we went to Reno to spend time with Nana (Justin's mom) and their Aunt Niki, Uncle Justin, and cousins Emily, Rowdy, and Sawyer. Tobias was so excited about the snow in Nana's backyard!
Kiernan wasn't as excited about the snow, but he made the best of it. As long as there are dump trucks to play with, he's happy.
This is about 5 minutes after we got Reno. Tobias went straight outside to play.
Here's Kiernan all bundled up for the cold weather.
We went to Scheels (Justin likes to call it Shneeblies). Which is the hugest sporting goods store you've ever seen in your life. They have a Ferris Wheel inside so Justin took Tobias on it. It was first time on a big ride like that!
They have huge fish tanks at Scheels so here's Kiernan, Rowdy, and Sawyer checking it out. I think was actually taken in October, not Christmas, but whatever, close enough :)
Justin checking out the Gary Fisher mountain bike display at Scheels.
Here's Justin and Uncle Dylan (Uncle Justin's brother) playing with the kids.
Here's Kiernan all cuddled up with Uncle Justin.
I took this picture on our way home from Reno Christmas Eve when we were driving through the sierras in snow. It's the first time I've experienced driving in heavy snow so it was a little scary, but Justin did a good job driving and kept us all safe!
