Did Santa come?

Yes he did (and he brought undies)

And football helmets!!!!!  And baseball helmets!!!!

This kid couldn't be happier with Santa

Studying those helmets while snacking

Santa's big present for Benny - a racetrack!!!!

The boys exchanging their presents for each other...Pokemon cards for Benny and Legos for Baxter

Super Benny

More helmets...what a GREAT Christmas!

Headed out to see the Christmas lights at Jellystone

They really did have a great Christmas...we're just working on those smiles for the camera!

The day after Christmas at the zoo (in short sleeves!)

The turtles must have had a big Christmas dinner, cuz the zoo keepers were a little stingy with the lettuce today

But, we still had fun

Playing some video games at the mall

Practicing soccer via video

Indian night!

In Asheville, back on the green!

Headed out for a ride with Gramps & Grandma Sherry

In Boone, NC - admiring the last of the Christmas decor this season

Someone's about to have some fun!

Cheer Balls at the hotel pool with friends...does life get any better?

Mom & Dad forgot to pack swimsuits, and the swimsuit selection in December is nonexistent, but luckily 5 year olds (and 2 year olds) can wear boxer briefs without embarrassment!


What luck!  Ready to head to the slopes and Boone got the first snow of the season!

This little guy is thrilled to be playing in his new Spiderman snow boots!

Our little ski bunny

One more year, but Benny can't wait!

This guy will turn anything into a shooter

On the slopes with the Burnette boys

Check out this super skier

Lunch break with Ruthie

Riding the ski lift for the first time

Ending a fun day of skiing relaxing with Gramps

Counting the minutes until the big bowl games start

At an indoor playground to burn off some energy before the games start (but catching up on the pre-game commentary in between slides)

It's game time!

Enjoying the Alabama game with some delicious snacks

Tried to stay up for the Buckeye game, but they looked so pathetic, it wasn't worth it!
