Merry Christmas!!!!

What a day!!! This year Christmas was wonderful, they all are but this one was extra special.  We had practiced with Christopher and started reading him Christmas books a few months ago. He knew where to point when you asked "where is Santa" about a month ago. He was ready. My parents stayed the night Christmas eve so after waking, Christopher when right in to say good morning.

And then we started opening gifts. We started with Christopher's so he could take his nap. Watch his face...

He also got clothes and toys. Everyone was so generous.

He was WAY more into it than we thought a 14 month old would be...

A short little video...



His favorite toy was the Cookie Monster toy. He talks when you shake him up and down.





Then off to my parents for Christmas Dinner. Christopher's toy he got from his Great Aunt Mary Pat was great and entertained him for quite a bit while mommy and grandma cooked (mostly grandma).

All in all, this was a great Christmas. Junior was more aware, he had a great time. He took his naps (which are great for the rest of us). My parents got to know our new dog Cody really well with positive results. Spartan (our first dog) got to see his Grandpa again (I think he'd been in withdrawal) and we spent the day with family. It was great.

Merry Christmas!!!!
