Christmas Part 2, Santa Came


When Barrett woke up Christmas morning, he was ready to see if Santa had come.


He had to wait to open the presents until Nana, Paw, and Ray came over, but he knew exactly which one he wanted to open first... the big one.


Once Nana was here and he had told her all about Santa eating the cookies and the reindeer eating all their food, we told him he could open whichever present from Santa he wanted.


He went right to the big present.




Once he got it torn a little, he peeked inside.



As he peeked inside, he started jumping and saying it was a "stampoline".


He's never been on a trampoline or around one, so we were surprised at his reaction. We knew he'd love it once he knew what it did, but we had no idea how excited he would be just by seeing it.


He climbed on it as soon as most the paper was off.




He started jumping on it like he'd been jumping for years.





I guess all the practice on our bed and the couch really helped out.


After he jumped for a few minutes, he remembered there were other presents too.


He chose to open the other big gift, and he again tore enough paper to peek inside. He seemed surprised to see a Diego big wheel, and he turned to tell me what it was.



He also told Nana that he got a bike just like hers. (No, Nana doesn't ride a big wheel, she has a Diego ride on thing at her house for Barrett.)




It took him a while to get all the paper off of the big wheel, but he kept working on it until it was done.



Santa also brought toys for Fisher, but he was more interested in Barrett's toys.




Even though Mommy and Daddy weren't exchanging gifts, Daddy still had a couple things from Santa. Here is Daddy showing Barrett the shirt Santa gave him.





Fisher really wasn't too into the opening of the gifts, but he did find two things on Christmas day that he really enjoyed...







The boys had a wonderful Christmas day with Doug's family being here in the morning and mine in the evening. By the end of the day, they were both exhausted, but they did manage to find the energy to jump a little more before they went to bed.

Great pictures! I especially love the
"My Daddy Dressed Me" shirt...there've been a few times when I wished Lila had one of those just to prove to everyone else that I wasn't the one that chose her outfit!
