Christmas Day (Part 1)


We decided that we would try to keep the presents simple.  He's so loved and spoiled by everyone, so there really isn't a need to buy him a lot.  We're going to try to follow this little rhyme that I got from a friend each year as we buy Christmas presents:
Something you want,
Something you need,
Something to wear,
Something to read.  

Plus, Santa will deliver a present each year.  :)  




He was in LOVE with the bow.  


His "Something you want" present.  




A present from sweet Samantha, a church friend.  





He thought wrapping paper was yummy.  



His "Something to wear" present-Food bibs.  



Hanging out with our dear friend, Jean.  She and her daughter, Sarah, are like family and we were blessed to have them come celebrate Christmas with us.  


Present from Uncle Bobby and Aunt Becky.  



This is one of his new favorite toys and loves playing with it.  We also got one of these from Uncle Keith and Aunt Kay, which is awesome because now he can have one here and one at Ms. Shannon's house.  





His Santa present (which one of my student's parents gave us after her son outgrew it.)  



















Skyping with Nana and Papa









His "Something You Need" Present-Blankets 
(Of course, Buzz and Woody were attached, but they were a bonus.)  


















I regret to say that I didn't get a picture of his "Something to Read" present, but obviously, you can figure out what was in that present.  :)  

Here's my present from N!  Dave said that N was enthralled with them and just had to get me one.  




Our pups checking on things outside.  


Christmas Eve

I'd love to say that I took lots of cute pictures on Christmas Eve, but by the time we got him dressed for church, it was time to leave.  Then, by the time we got home, he was ready for his pajamas and bedtime bottle.  I thought he would fall right asleep after his bottle like normal, but he decided that he wanted to stay up for a while, so he and Dave skyped with Gramma and Papa.  :)
