Frequent viewers will note that Xak was the very picture of a “good boy” during his visits to see Big Red in his first year, as well as his second year.

Not so this year.

I guess it’s a symptom of self awareness, or maybe a side affect of the terrible twos, but this year, he was having none of sitting on some strange elf’s lap.

So we all got in the shot (for the first time).

The smiles are genuine…

…for the sake of consistency, here’s a fake of Xak and Big Red, 2011…

Xak has reached that age. His first (but I assure you, not last) Turkeyhand creation:

You got it for me, right? RIGHT? RIGHT?!?!?!

Grampa, Lisa and Heath came up for a visit…it’s been quite a while since the original Grampa Visit.

You all know how much Xak loves TRAINS. So we took him to actually ride on a REAL steam train. There are seven minutes of unedited footage of the trip below.

What we should have expected – but, being first time parents, totally underestimated – was the utter KAOS that he would wreak when it came time to go.

Thusly, we present to you, this short film about the trauma of LEAVING THE TRAIN YARD!!!!

The happy train ride (seven minutes of it)
