Christmas 2011

Christmas was great, I don't think John or I expected too much out of James this year because he still does not really get the whole Santa/gifts idea - so we just wanted to take it easy and have a nice day together. After James went to bed Christmas Ever, we put together all of the toys and made sure everything was under the tree. We even watched Die Hard, because as John puts it - it is the perfect Christmas movie.

When James woke up in the morning, we had breakfast like normal - it wasn't until he was almost all the way done did he notice all of the gifts. His eyes lit up and he started talking a mile a minute. James loved opening all the presents - anything that was clothing he wanted to try on right then (I think at one point he had on two hats, a scarf and two shirts on over his PJ's) He played with everything and really had a blast. I was worried that he would get overwhelmed or only want to play with one toy, but he didn't - he loved all of them and lined them all up so he could play with them all at once.

It was a tiring day for sure, but watching James really get to enjoy Christmas was awesome. We cant wait for next year, it will get even better. And yes, he has a black eye. It looks even worse now than it did yesterday. Merry Christmas!!
