"I'm SO SO SO excited that Santa came!" #merrypatagonia

Lincoln loves reading books, especially his new Christmas books like Snowmen at Night. Lincoln does not love taking pictures and tries to avoid the paparazzi.  

 Lincoln got a new awesome sticker and cut out book that he has been playing with every day. Now Grandma and Linc have decorated our windows with snowmen, trees, angels and stars. Red finds the funniest places to hang out like his hiking backpack or stroller.

 Christmas morning we came downstairs to discover that Santa had eaten his brownie and the reindeer ate all the carrots except the last one they just nibbled on. Santa filled up all our stockings with fun surprises and left lots of presents.

Lincoln loved opening all of his presents and everyone else's too. Now he's got new games, a truck puzzle, castle blocks, a helicopter and too many things to ever be played with in just one day.

Bethie got Lincoln to pose for the camera and he showed us all of his best smiling faces. Not sure where he got his definition of smiling but I'm loving it.

Red got to climb up into some ski boots since he was wearing his ski shirt but couldn't really get moving. So he opted for stroller again.

We went back out to the mountain to ski again with the whole gang. Linc made a few more runs down the mountain like an expert.

The Wright-Dekoster family skiers!

Did you know you can even go swimming at Crystal Mountain?!

It's been a very merry Patagonia Christmas for so many friends today. If clothes could be a spirit animal, patterned pattys would be mine. (That or Nike running shorts.)

The newest (and returning) Patty Pals-- Rachel, Annie, Maddy, Milly, Cecilia, Julia, Hope, Frances and (not pictured) Genna, Mallory Watson, Sophie Van O and Kaitlyn Ray.
