I Still Want a Hula Hoop

After a few run ins with some odd-looking Santa stand-ins, we were fortunate that the real deal came for Christmas:

I can assure you that this year mommy wasn't kissing Santa Claus.

As we got to the gifting, the excitement at the Curtis residence was palpable:

Topher was a lot more animated than last Christmas.

Santa apparently learned that if it has wheels, Topher will love it.

The day wasn't without an incident or two. First there was a monkey attack:

Fortunately, a monkey Pillow-Pet attack is a relatively harmless event.

And then a zombie showed up:

A present or two was all it took to neutralize this threat.

At the Huffs, Topher was warmed up and in fine present opening form.

Santa's onslaught of wheeled items continued:

This one played music, which in our family we refer to as a double whammy.

Overall it was a good Christmas and we'd like to thank all the Santa's out there (Cotton ball bearded ones included).
