Christmas is kind of crazy. We did a lot of traveling; I tried to eat a lot of paper (which was constantly getting fished out of my mouth), and Preston and I got some sweet new toys. I would have liked to have gotten my two front teeth (implied song totally intended), but they have yet to make an appearance. Preston is in his glory and loves EVERY new toy we brought home, including all of mine. I hardly get to play with anything.
We stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's house on Christmas Eve; Santa visited us there. Grandma made me a new stocking for my first Christmas, and Preston and I had matching pajamas. Tia Debbie joined us, too.
After breakfast and presents on Christmas morning we packed up and went to Gigi and Grandpa's house for Christmas dinner... and a TON more presents. I snoozed through dinner, so Mom actually got to enjoy herself a little bit.
Then the next day we went to Mema and Poppop's house for Mema's 84th birthday. By then we were all on Christmas overload. We needed all of today to recover, and Mom is still pretty worn out. All she wanted to do was take a nap, but that was the last thing I wanted to do. Tia Deb came over in the afternoon to help out a bit.
In all it was a very fun first Christmas, and I'm pretty excited to do it all again next year.
From Preston:
Christmas is AWESOME! I got SO MANY cool new toys and books and clothes and FISHIES!! Yup! Santa brought me 3 fish! I want to feed them all the time, but Mom says they only get food once a day. I also want to touch them and fish for them and play with them, but all they want to do is swim. They live in my room, and I get to take good care of them.
I also got a huge expansion pack for my Lego duplo train set from Uncle Joe that included a Diesel pulling freight (a flat car and a hopper), two switches, a bridge, extra track, a crane, a dump truck, AND a grade crossing. Can you even imagine how awesome it is? I'll tell Dad to get some pictures so you don't have to.
I also got some awesome pieces for my wooden train set including a stone bridge from Liora and Talia, a fish pond, and two light up aquarium cars. I currently have 3 different buildable train sets, and that doesn't include Daddy's O gauge around the Christmas tree. What a lucky boy am I.
Oh! And we got a Thomas Roller Coaster... yup, you read that correctly. Lukey and I have to share it, but he's still too little to ride. Maybe in the summer time.
