I want to do the same for our son..give him all the time in the world to be a kid who has an imagination and believes in Santa Clause. I love traditions, I love my family..I love togetherness..I love the Reason for the Season (Jesus Christ)..which by the way I'll go ahead and say Happy (early) Birthday Jesus!! You're the reason we're here today! Please folks, don't forget what Christmas is REALLY all about..enjoy the day and your children's faces and the love of your family! Here are some photos from tonight's little present opening adventure!
He was only 1 last year (had just turned it Dec. 7th) so he really wansn't much into ripping off paper...we had to help him do most of it..but this year it's different and he's in it to win it! :)
Then of course Daddy jumps in and saves the day (because he's a professional toy box opener) and gets the toys open and ready to be played with!
Dillon waits with the look of EXCITEMENT on his face! (This is my FAVORITE SHOT!)
Hosted by Cecily and Lolli
Yay!! It's Slinky Dog off of Toy Story...his collection has gotten BIG! He now has Woody, Jesse, Buzz, Mr. Potato Head and Slinky!!

Kids are such a blessing. Your photos are cute.
Thank you so much for stopping over at my blog and leaving such a sweet comment.
Hey thanks so much for linking up. I'd love to know what kind of editing you did on that shot of Dillon. It looks vintage and I LOVE it. I'm a sucker for babies, bokeh and vintage, so, yeah, that's my favorite shot too!
Aw, I love that he's kissing it! And I love that he's collecting toy story toys... you think they come alive when he leaves the room? :)
We also have the tradition of opening ONE gift on Christmas eve (as children).
Now that my grandma has passed on and I now hold the Christmas Eve festivities Hannah got to open ALL of her gifts from her Uncles and Mimi and Papaw.
Oh and that shot of Slinky the Dog and that tiny foot is perfect! LOVE IT!
