Christmas Morning

We had to delay Christmas morning a few days because one of L's presents didn't arrive in time.  It was still a ton of fun.  I was so excited last night as I wrapped up all of the presents and put them under the tree.  When I told L that I would be wrapping his gifts for him to open in the morning he told me that he wanted a present in the tunnel of the tree.  That's what he's been calling this huge gaping hole near the bottom of our tree haha.  Luckily I had a present that fit there perfectly!  I think he was the most excited about his books and a set of small cymbals.  He has never seen cymbals before and had no idea how to use them but when he opened them his face lit up and his eyes got huge and he said, "SEERCULS!!" which is his word for circles.  He absolutely loves circles lol, he draws and paints circles often and even makes orange circles he calls the sun and blue circles that he calls bubbles.  Pretty smart kid :).  Anyway he was mega excited about his circles lol.

He also got the DVD "Cars" but about 15 minutes into it he asked to turn it off and watch the "Fish movie" that's "Finding Nemo" which is his all time favorite movie ever.  ;)  So that's what we did.  We also got him a little punching bag, a bow and arrow, and some more books, candy and water beads in his stocking.  We got him a whole bag of marshmallows (his favorite food) and he was pretty excited about that.  His big gift was a Waldorf Rocker Board and that thing has gotten a lot of use today!  He wasn't that enthused about it at first (it's just a curved board..what kid would be?  lol) but after he figured out a few things to do with it, he loved it.  It's a very open ended toy that can be used as a balance board among about a million other things.  Just today so far it has been a baby cradle, a boat on the ocean, a tunnel for his cars, a tunnel for him, a slide, a mountain to climb, something to jump off of, a bridge for his cars, and a fort when we set it up long ways against his toy box and covered it in play silks.  It's been a lot of fun to play with him!

Baby J had a great Christmas too.  He got a few little hanging toys to play with, some play silks, and a couple books.  He loves the play silks and so does L, if I had known those would be such a hit I would have bought them for L sooner.  J tries to mostly eat the silks but L has a great time throwing them in the air and he and J watch them float down.  I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas!  This evening I put string lights shining on the inside of a cardboard train L got for Christmas...it was a huge hit!!

Oh and did I mention they were in matching Christmas pajamas?  They are almost impossible to photograph together though lol.
