new family traditions

this year we wanted to start some new family traditions for christmas morning. here goes: santa gifts - lifesaver book? check. pjs? check. toy? check. caramel rolls for breakfast? check. christmas music in the background? (this one kills kyle) check. I'm sure our traditions will build each year as our family grows, but we are having fun mixing in some of our childhood traditions and adding some of our own. miles sort of understands the concept of santa. he gets that he puts presents in your stocking. so when I got him up in the morning I said, "who do you think came last night?" he said, "santa!" I asked, "what do you think he brought?" and miles said, "presents!!" smarty pants. so here are some pictures from our morning at home.

the stockings barely made it out this yearsanta even remembers tinker & tessie

miles thought it was funny to put my lip gloss on his headone of many for the little monkey
I will post a video of him doing this later...he LOVES it!

new PBK backpack - I'm not sure if I should love this picture or be terrified that he looks so old in it!
a good day to be miles!
