On Christmas Eve we started a couple new traditions. We woke up and mommy made a special breakfast with French toast, bacon, fruit and hash browns, it was delicious. And then we played for a while as a family and you took a little morning nap. We then watched the movie the Polar Express, which you didn't really get or were you into but daddy watched it for the first time and loved it. We can't wait for you to watch the movie and read the book so you can learn all about the magic of Christmas. You and mommy also spent lots of time in the kitchen making cookies to leave for Santa. Santa loves peanut butter cookies with m&ms on top and that is exactly what we made and left out for him. Lastly, we gave you a bath and put you in some Christmas pajamas and read you 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. We read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas last year in the NICU and it was so wonderful to read you the poem while we were snuggled together as a family in our own home.
Christmas morning was very exciting as well! We woke up and Santa had placed your gifts next to the Christmas tree! Santa brought you a water table and mom and dad bought you blocks, A Charlie Brown Christmas book, flash cards (which soon became your absolute favorite) and some new clothes. We even let you play with your water table in the kitchen, on top of a tarp to see how you liked it. After we opened presents we went to Grandma and Grandpa Lowe's for Christmas breakfast and more gifts! You were one very spoiled little boy. We had to wait one more week to celebrate with the Bennett side of the family but you got more gifts and had fun playing with your cousins Anna and Isaaac. Can't wait for Christmas next year!
You are not very excited about Christmas morning! haha
Now you are starting to get happy...
