Nolan in a Box

Kaycee and I were wrapping the Christmas gifts Santa delivered from Amazon.com and we caught Nolan playing with the box. Yes he has plenty of toys to play with but he enjoys the boxes more. Must a be kid thing. If I were him, I would rather play with the toys. Here is the entire album for you to enjoy, Click Here.




Wow! A new box! How can I get into it?
