When Christmas Day Is Here...The Most Wonderful Day of the Year!

Merry Christmas! Today was such a great day. Jay and I woke up this morning and Jay was feeling back to his old self again. He had set up the video camera the night before to get Truett's reaction when he first came into the room to see what Santa had brought. Of course, at 7:00, Truett was still sleeping...on the one morning we WANT him to be up early! :)

I stood outside of his bedroom door and rang jingle bells while Jay yelled from the living room (in his best Santa voice), "HO! HO! HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS!" After 3 unsuccessful attempts to wake Truett up 'Christmas style', we finally went into his room and woke him.

He came out into the living room and went straight over to his gifts. It was funny because he saw his gifts and then ran over to see if Santa had eaten the cookies we had left out for him. He almost seemed bummed out that Santa had not left any cookies for Truett! :)

He started opening gifts and each gift he opened, he'd ask us to take it out of the package/box. He wanted to play with everything and look at everything. He even wanted to watch the movies he had gotten. I guess it was a good sign that he liked everything, but it made for a long morning of unwrapping gifts! :)

He got his very own digital camera. It's really great to see the pictures he takes, too! Here he is taking my picture.

Of course, Christmas just wouldn't have been the same without some Thomas the Train trains and tracks.



Jay gave him a football...gotta start 'em young here in Texas! :)

If you closely in this picture, you'll notice the blue Curious George bandaid on his face. This was from the box of bandaids he got in his stocking. Joy (my parents' dog) scratched Truett the night before so Truett was happy to stick one of his new bandaids on his face...too bad it wasn't covering one bit of the scratch!

Emma just kicked back and relaxed while Truett opened his gifts. I guess it was good that Truett had slept in because I was able to feed Emma before he woke up. This meant that she was happy and content and I was able to enjoy Truett opening his presents.

I guess all the excitement was too much for her!

My poor baby Nugs...What a different world he's living in now! :) He got pig ears and a chew toy for Christmas and he seemed perfectly happy to go off in a corner FAR AWAY from Truett!

We had a very low-key and relaxed morning at our house. Jay and I loved waking up with (or before) our kids and being at our own house Christmas morning. We love being able to share that time together as a family. I hope you and your families enjoyed that time together, too!

Merry Christmas!
