Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas this year. We stayed home and celebrated as our little family. We missed our families, but we also enjoyed our time together. Eddie joe's mom and sisters came up the Christmas afternoon and stayed for a few days. This post is just Christmas morning, the next one will cover Christmas afternoon and there will also be one for Jayden's birthday.

Santa brought Jayden a desk so that he can study just like daddy does (we are also hoping it will give daddy a little more of a chance to study). Along with the desk Santa brought him colors and paper and other "desk" items.

He had to put all of the colors in the color holder.

He also thought the chair was great, so he had to sit in it while opening his presents. It took us 1.5 hours to open presents because every time Jayden tore off a piece of paper he had to get up and put it in the paper pile. Then he would climb back in his chair. Next, once he got it open he had to actually open the item, it took some coaxing to move him onto the next gift.

He was pretty excited about those markers.

His stocking had some of his favorite "doughnuts" in it. They are actually cookies, but he calls them doughnuts, he was soooo excited. Ow, and the reindeer antlers were also a hit.

Eddie joe got this great hunting jacket from my parents, he wore it around all morning. Along with the slippers I got him and his antlers (isn't he a hunk). I got a Wii Fit from my parents, it has been a lot of fun so far. I was pretty insulted when it blew my Wii character up to my current proportions, but I guess it's time to lay off of anything that tastes good. Thanks mom and dad!

Also thanks to everyone in the family for the cards and gifts. Jayden will make good use of all of the toys, he is very into just playing these days (with us sitting on the floor with him).
