This was Christmas with just Blake, Beckett and me at our house. Blake and I try to keep Christmas presents a little low-key at our house. Beckett has been blessed with two sets of grandparents who spoil him tremendously, so we decided that we would get him a few small toys (puzzles, books, clothes, etc) since he would be getting showered with gifts from his grandparents. I haven't really ever been one to buy him a lot of toys, although this became a little more difficult this year with all of the cool toys out. I kind of feel that if he has too many toys that the majority of them get abandoned anyways, and we end up just wasting money and space. Blake and I did get him two bigger gifts (Legos and a basketball goal) that we gave him later. We spaced his gifts out because I didn't want him getting all of the big gifts at once. I'd rather spread them out and have Christmas (and the silence of him playing alone) last longer. Crazy? Maybe, but it's what works for us.

He would have been a happy camper with just his stocking stuffers.
Goldfish and cookies, what more could a kid want? :) |

This is his concentration face. Not sure why his cheeks look 10
times bigger while concentrating :) He wanted to trash each small
piece of paper as he tore it off. Opening presents became more time
consuming that we had planned! |

| Puzzles and books |
 |
| Elmo pajamas! |
