Our First Christmas in New York

We took the kids to see Santa at the mall.  Porter wanted nothing to do with the man in the red, so he's not in the picture : (    Gabe on the other hand enjoyed his visit with Santa!  We made sure we told Santa we moved and that he needed to visit us in a hotel this year.
And sure enough he found us!
  
 
Our family's big gift this year was a Nintendo Wii.
You can see how excited the kids were when they opened it!
Unfortunately, the TV at our hotel wouldn't allow us to play the Wii.  John spent a very frustrating day trying to get it to work.  Thankfully, the kids had a great day even without their main present working.  So John decided that today we would just buy a new TV so they could play.  Done.  That just made an expensive Christmas present really expensive, but they're happy!  John's so much nicer than I am.  I told the kids they'd have to wait until we moved into our new house and unpacked our TV.  What a nice Daddy.
Porter tucked in bed with his new teddy bear after a long day of Christmas fun!
Our Christmas was wonderful, even in a hotel!  
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas too!

Porter has gotten so big! He looks like he is catching right up with Gabe. Porter would have fit right in at the Christmas party with Dax this year, who wasn't a Santa fan either.
