From now on, our troubles will be miles away.

We had such a splendid little Christmas. This was the first one in our own home. Last year, we were in the process of buying said home. And 2010 was also Baby Guy's first Christmas -- I think he's a big fan of the holiday, judging by the amount of wrapping paper he ate.

Anyway, here are some pictures of Christmas 2010.

First up: What did Santa bring? Well, for the little one, a LeapFrog activity table.

Oh, how he loves it!

For Miss Bubby ...

A bike!

Another highlight: Monkey slippers (practically stolen from the Gap for $4.99 on Black Friday).

Highlights for Mommy and Daddy: A springform pan AND a bundt pan, movies, PJ's and lots of candy. Our parents also got us a wheat grinder and some loaf pans (his) and a $100 gift card to our favorite restaurant, THE MELTING POT (mine)! To be used in conjuncntion with our 5th wedding anniversary, coming up this Thursday.

After we opened all the gifts, we decided to take the Buttercup out for a spin.

Dill was very concerned, as you can see.

Smush and I enjoyed the amazing weather.

Aww! She's practically an adult. How'd that happen?

Love that girl.

This about sums it up for me.

Merry Christmas and Happy 2011.
