We are back from St. Louis, where we spent the holiday at Brian's parents' house. We did a lot in our few days there! For Brian's birthday this year I got him tickets to the Mizzou vs. Illinois "Braggin' Rights" basketball game, so we went to the game on Saturday (they lost, but we're not going to talk about that)...
...while Grandma and Grandpa entertained Chase. They had lots of fun with him. Grandpa shared all of his Christmas toys (Rock N Roll Santa, his Christmas train, and Chase's favorite: the motion censored musical snowman)...
...and Grandma got him dancin' to Barney!
While we were in town we also got to have dinner with our friends Todd & Toni, who are expecting their own little one in May! We had a good time, but Chase was not very cooperative! We're hoping we didn't freak them out entirely with our embarrassing "what's to come" display!We did our traditional Christmas light display outings at the Lady of the Snows and Rock Park. It was past Chase's bed time each night we went but he was such a trooper. He really liked the lights and each place had a petting zoo which kept him entertained!
Chase also had his picture taken with Santa which went just fine. No big fits or anything to report. Phew! I'll try to scan the polaroid and put it here at some point.Christmas morning was stretched into Christmas afternoon, as Chase opened his gifts in 3 shifts!
Chase was generously showered with fun stuff by both of our families, while Brian and I mostly got him the boring stuff like socks, shoes and a new stroller!
(Yes, it was 3pm when I took this photo and my child is still in his PJ's.... It's the only way to do Christmas!)One of Chase's favorite gifts was a basketball hoop, and I think Brian got into the game even more than Chase did!
(In Brian's defense, Chase really had just made an incredible shot!)I hope everyone had as nice of a holiday as we did. For more photos, check out our Photo Album!

Looks like Chase was as spoiled as our two were! I love the looks of that cool activity table with the beads, xylaphone (I know I just spelled that wrong), etc...that was something I'd suggested to someone but no luck...but they got plenty of other cool things instead!
He loves that thing! He had so much fun with the bead toy at the doctor's office a couple months ago that we made the same suggestion. It is definitely a hit!
Noel spent most of Christmas day in her pajamas too. The only thing that got her out of then was the pair of tights she opened from my mom at about 6:00pm. Chase looks very comfy in his pjs. So I'm sure he had a great Christmas.
