Santa brought me a skateboard!

After eating breakfast we got dressed and headed out to give Coby's skateboard a whirl. We didn't invest in pads (yet!!) but we does have a bike helmet that he wore while skating. We were the first ones there, but the place filled up pretty fast - some of them looking darn good too! Coby held his own, especially considering that he's not even 3 yet.

Here he is at the edge of the skater bowl. Yeah, this place is definitely a little more "big time" than I realized. Coby, on the other hand, was undeterred and unafraid!
Here come the kids to really show us how it's done!

I am happy to report that we left the skate park in one piece, our only injury a busted lip. I give this board until his birthday before he's needing an upgrade - and some beefed up pads!

Christmas Morning 2011

I think this was the first year that Coby really "got" the whole Christmas morning thing. He was definitely ready for Santa to come - I think he believed that Santa would be in our living room when he woke up, waiting to pass out presents. Still, boy was he excited to get a look at the presents under the tree and in his stocking!
Note to self: Need to find out where to get one more of our family stockings!!!!
The much talked about skateboard...

And another Buzz Lightyear action figure. The one we got last year has (literally) been loved to pieces. Let's hope this one lasts!


Now that breakfast is done, we're off to the skate park to test out the skate board!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

All I Want For Christmas...

Our visit to Santa was the best yet! Granted, we'd walked by a couple of times on previous visits to the mall, but even so, I was pretty impressed by how calm he was. When it was our turn, Coby jumped right up on Santa's lap, told him he wanted a skateboard for Christmas, and hopped right on down. Strictly business that guy :)
