Just another day at the office, playing with blocks. He has no idea what is in store.

Troy just heard a booming “Ho! Ho! Ho!” coming from down the hallway.

And he’d really like to know WTH is going on here! Mama!

Santa comes bearing gifts!

“I still don’t trust you, mofo.”

Note the coaster in Troy’s hand. Even after he’d opened all of his presents, he still preferred to play with the coasters. Probably had something to do with the pictures of golden retrievers on them.

“Okay, fool. We’re cool, I guess.”

Or not…

Troy! Run!

Note the stunning lack of progress compared to the previous picture. This is due to a phenomenon known as “stubby little Japanese legs”, an affliction he shares with his father.

In the end, though, it was a very merry xmas, one I was fortunate to share with my family. Thanks for the great holiday, everyone!

And, Kelly, thanks for the new drawers.
