Pictured here are some of our stuffed bears. My Great Aunt Sher collected bears, and when she passed away last year, we all got to pick a bear from her collection. Jerry and I both chose Christmas bears, so they get boxed away until the holiday comes around. On the couch there in the above photo is brownie bear, whom I chose from Aunt Sher's collection. Pictured below is polar bear, whom Jerry chose. Lo Lo especially likes to wrestle with the polar bear. =) And yes, that is a smile in the photo below, but he was scrunching up his face anticipating the camera flash.
Ready for more bears? Last Christmas that Lo was just a little guy. Here he is in his "first Christmas" outfit, and it has a wittow bear on the front. Can it get any cuter? Well, yes. Keep reading. =) 
We took photos of him last year next to his "Baby's First Christmas" teddy, and it was almost as big as him. 
This Christmas, I brought out the same old bear and could not even get our big boy to pose with it. He was having too much fun wrestling the stuffed animal. I had a "my baby is all grown up" moment. *sniffle*
I think it will become a new Christmas tradition to take photos of Lo next to his first Christmas bear and track his growth that way. Fun!

That is a fun new tradition and great way to see how Lo is growing!
I have begun saving and rotating toys as well (I got the idea when you talked about it with the Easter Basket). I saved toys from the baby shower for Christmas just so I would have plenty of wrapped toys to get "just the right" present un-wrapping pics with.
Super cute bear photos! We amassed a collection of stuffed animals as well and even got more for this Christmas. I like your idea of rotating some for the holidays!
I didn't know that Uncle Myron had passed out Aunt Sher-bears bears out!
Oh, I don't know how organized the bear distribution was. It was weeks or maybe months after her funeral, when they were clearing out some of her things, so you wouldn't have been around to get a bear. But next time you go to Utah, ask Myron if he still has a few extras if you want one. There were literally hundreds.
