He's Back!...And so am I...

Well, it's only been two years since my last post.  No big deal.  Not like life has been crazy or anything.  And since the last post was about Phillip our elf, let's make this welcome back post about Phillip's return.

Phillip came back with a bang.  Not only did he bring candy which became the breakfast of champions, he brought with him a new Lego advent calendar and a HUGE smile to this little guys face. Can't wait to see what Phillip gets himself into this year....

Merry Christmas To All...

It has finally arrived...Christmas Eve.  Still to this day one of the hardest days for me to get through because I am so excited for Christmas.  Every year, and again tomorrow, no matter what I do, I will be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 5:00am (that's being generous) ready to peak around the corner to see what Santa brought.

I hope that even though it seems right now like Colin doesn't really care about much, that some of the things we do as traditions will carry with him and he will look forward to every year.

Farewell Phillip.  We had a great time and will miss you.  I hope to see you again next year and I'm sure Colin feels the same way!

Merry Christmas!

Hold On Tight

I would hold on tight too if I got to ride on the back of RoboCop, a.k.a. Joel Kinnaman.  That would be one exciting joy ride :)

That's A Wrap

Well, not quite!  Phillip was ready to help Nana do some wrapping but didn't realize it was time to go back home.  Colin was very worried that Phillip didn't make it, but rest assured, he did.
Thank you Nana and Papa for such a fun weekend.  Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Quite the Bookworm

Nana and Papa read a lot of books, so Phillip decided to do some hide-and-seek in the book pile.  This was a good one because he hid so well, it caught people off guard when they finally noticed him.

The Write Stuff

Phillip did make his way to Idaho and Nana and Papa's house!  And mom got behind on her posts.  I think everyone had a fun time over the weekend and is just a little bit sad to be back home.  However...there is no place like home for Christmas!

Hi-Ho T-Rex, Away

I never knew Phillip was such a good dinosaur rider.  And who knew there were still dino's around to ride?  Colin was impressed that he again was wearing jammies that matched the antics of Phillip.

Now it's off to Idaho.  Will Phillip follow us?  More than likely he will and Nana and Papa's house is always a fun place to play at!
