We hope that everyone enjoyed the much needed family time and break that this holiday brings us. Also I hope that Santa treated everyone well and fulfilled some wishes. In our house there is a little boy asleep in his bed all tired out from playing with all the new toys that came this morning. He ran, Daddy & I ran, Tigger was chased, many batteries were exhausted of their juices, lots of belly laughing, tickles, kisses, hugs and of course cuddles. It was a day that was well used up. Wish we had more like that.
Auntie Mary cooked us turkey dinner with all the trimmings and we spent a couple of hours lazing on her couch fighting the tired turkey eyes while the little men ran around like crazy playing with each other. We came home in the afternoon for naptime for E. He slept and I decided to do a little housework. I managed to mop the floors, clean the bathrooms and clean up our bedroom which made me happy. Supper was snacks from the fridge…I had to make a huge pan of meatballs for work tomorrow as we are doing a potluck dinner and I volunteered to bring Sweet & Sour Meatballs.
We got some great pics of E enjoying his new toys today. He still doesn’t get what presents are and has very little interest in opening them. We pretty much had to tie him down the open them…probably the last year that will happen!
Anyhow, it is so much fun watching him discover how things work and which buttons to push…such a smart kid I tell you! But enjoy the pics and I will also be working on a post of Mom’s fantastic 70th Birthday party that we just enjoyed last weekend!
This big box had been banged on all week but it took some persuasion to convince him to open it up. Once he did he was happy and loved what was inside. As we expected the little couch that folds out to a bed was a HUGE hit. The popcorn ball popper thingy?…louder then I remember…
Daddy made us breakfast this morning, French Toast and Bacon. Mmmmmm!
Opening our PJs on Christmas Eve…they were extra cute and cozy this year as you can see from our pictures above!
Ethan having his bath on Christmas Eve, Daddy slipped with the bubble bath…He giggled his head off and so did I! All you could see was his little face.
As for the presents, Randy gave me a bottle of my favourite perfume in a really nice makeup bag, Wii Fit Plus, and a whole pile of scrapbook glue and a dispenser. (Inside joke!) He also gave me a gorgeous white gold chain from Ben Moss but unfortunately it won’t hold the pendant he bought it for so we are going to take it back and find something that will work out better. Santa brought me the new Dan Brown book. Randy got a book too, the newest Robert Jordan book, a documentary DVD, a collection of black teas and a new thermos lunch bag for work. We got a very cute picture frame from E made from popsicle sticks with foam hearts glued to it and a picture of him mounted to it. Too cute! It’s a keeper! Ethan got a comfy fold out into a bed couch, a popcorn maker (you know the Fisher Price one that we all grew up with), crazy bath beakers, a Cozy Coupe walk and ride toy, a couple of tonka trucks, socks, toothbrush and toothpaste and a collection of books from Grandma Rogers. Auntie Mary and Cole gave him a gianormous caterpillar that sings the ABCs. (It is probably 8 feet long…)
He LOVES his couch so much, it will get lots of use. But that ball popper is soooo going to the basement!!! So there are the highlights from our Christmas hope yours was full of joy and lots of memories!
