Colton Does Christmas

Santa wrote Colton a letter to address yesterday's gnarly temper tantrum ~

Dad: Santa left you a letter next to plate of cookies that you left for him.
C: Are there any cookies left?
Me: No, buddy.  You left them for Santa. 
Dad: Do you want me to read the letter he left?
C: Yeah.
Dad: Dear Colton, You've been a pretty good boy this year, so I kept you on my nice list.  You need to work on listening to your mom & dad and not throw tantrums when it's time to go. And keep picking up those toys so I can keep you on my nice list.  Love, Santa.  Hmm.  Looks like Santa saw that tantrum you threw yesterday.  What do you have to say?
C: Sorry, Santa.

I got a Colton in a box!

C: I'm gonna go check the tree!!  And see if Santa came!

Aunt Shannon was very excited ;)

Me: You can pick one gift to open before we go to Granddad's.
C: I'm looking for one that looks like a train set!
Me: Sorry, buddy.  Santa didn't think you needed any more trains.

Dad & Colton work on Legos

C: I'm getting really tired of this wrapping!

Colton & Uncle Craig work on more Legos

C: Santa just LOVES to bring me things!

Finger-painting with Audrey & Uncle Craig in their new "makers" (aprons)

Dad: Read the tag.  What does it say?
C: This is from SANTA!
Dad: No, it's from Granddad and Grandma. 

Colton had an awesome Christmas!  And really, aside from the over-tired / overly excited tantrum from yesterday, he really was well-behaved all things considered.  He sure has a wonderful family that spoiled him rotten again this year!

Playing Play-Doh ~ he played about 5 hrs between the cookie cutters and his "ice cream shoppe."

C: Sprinkle, sprinkle, little sprinkle!

C: Thank you for making me that blob of ice cream!

C: I'm using the power of technology for tech stuff!

Me: Hey babe?!

C: Huh?

Me: Not you!
C: Silly goof!
