Neil Patrick Harris shares adorable Christmas photos with Twitter followers

One of the perks of social media is that celebs are now taking to Twitter to show off their holiday photographs.

How I Met Your Mother actor Neil Patrick Harris posted a series of photos of his two-year-old twins, Harper and Gideon, enjoying their Christmas with his partner David Burtka.

The new dad posted an adorable photo of Gideon dressed in a Santa suit playing with a broom writing, “Up until 2am constructing a table with wooden trains for Gideon and all he wants to do is play with a broom.”

Another photo reveals daughter Harper in Santa pajamas wearing Mr. Potato Head glasses. “Ms. Harper likes Mr. Potato Head’s fashion sense. She is quite the looker, but I think it’s a bit shortsighted,” he tweeted.

The holidays wouldn’t be complete without a playful picture of a significant other and Harris did just that snapping a photo of Burtka cuddling with his pillow. “Here is @Davidburtka enjoying his favorite, much needed, and well deserved gift,” he tweeted.

The last photo posted shows daughter Harper in a green tutu and red cardigan looking quite excited over the holidays. He sarcastically writes, “Harper is, as usual, calm and understated.”
