Christmas Day

Christmas Day finally arrived...you woke up and came out of your room (you figured out how to open doors and not nothing keeps you in!) Grandpa and Uncle Steve came up and got you. Mommy and Daddy heard you and woke up too. We all come down stairs and opened stockings...

Now our stocking at not your average size stockings and not everything fits into the stocking. Grandmas stockings are things of legend. They are little, special things that she bought personally for you! They are awesome and a highlight of Christmas (no pressure Grandma!!). 

You saw the gifts and got pretty excited, you ran right over and grabbed one. 

 but first, Mommy got the footstools Daddy had been working on...they were beautiful and as you can see I was pretty excited about them!!

 As we were talking about the foot stools and getting ready to sit down to open stockings you discovered your train table. "Wow, look at that train!" you exclaimed! You set down your gift (yes, you paused, set down the gift) then you ran over to the train board. 

 You were very excited...you love this thing!

 We finally peeled you away from the train and started to open stockings and then gifts!


 You finally got this opening gifts thing down. Between your birthday, advent and Christmas you have become a pro at ripping into gifts!

 Always so excited about your gifts!! This little guy is super cool. It's a color changing chameleon that changes color to match what you set it on...super cool!! You love it and insist on it being on during naps!

 You got a TON of new cars...we have been stockpiling them for months! It took a lot for your Daddy to not give them to you!! You also got a new car rug to go with them!

I actually surprise your Daddy this year with a new air soft gun!! He was super excited about it!!

 You by the Christmas tree...we brought down your chair so we all had big comfy chairs to sit in! 

 You being cute!

 You also got an easel...you were really excited to paint and you loved naming the paint colors! 

 Ted, was inside with us all morning, he got a stocking too! But, before we ate Ted got a special surprise! He sat so pretty and waited...

 Then he dug right in...this is a cow leg bone...super gross but, he loves it. Ted is one tuff dog and can shred and destroy any toy so, this is perfect for him it is still out in him dog run...no way is it coming in our house!

 Here you are sweet Jake...

 Merry Christmas my boy!

 "What mom? all the cool kids sit like this...I'm so done taking pictures!"

 You loved this tree...you loved looking at all the ornaments and you talked to it. You would say good night to it and tell it you were just taking a nap and would see it later!! So funny!

Playing cars by the tree!

Being a frog, "ribbet, ribbet!"

 Hugging the Christmas Tree, we think we are all allergic to it so, it was being taken down the next day. You were saying good bye and telling it, that is had been a great Christmas tree!

 I love this picture of you...You just couldn't get enough of this tree...and it looks like Christmas wonder to me...it's so fun to experience Christmas with you, we get to rediscover the magic and wonder that is Christmas! It's a beautiful thing to see Christmas thought your eyes.

We had such a great Christmas, you were such a joy to share it with.
