Christmas Festivities

I can't believe this was my third year celebrating Christmas! Each year it gets better and better though! I can participate in all the fun activities and better understand the reason for the season. We kicked off our holiday on Christmas Eve by decorating the gingerbread house! I had fun sticking pretzel sticks and  candy canes on the house, but even better was decorating all of the gingerbread men! Daddy helped me with the sprinkles so they would look great! Later in the day we went to church to celebrate Jesus. After a delicious dinner of spetzel soup (I had three helpings) we sang Christmas carols (Jingle Bells is my favorite) and finished the evening opening our exchange presents. I think Cora liked the gift that I got for her. Plus, we got fishing rods from Mommy and Daddy that I can't wait to use at the pond!

Opening my first present!

Tonka Trucks!

The next morning, Santa had left our presents! I made sure to sleep the whole night (a perfectly wonderful Christmas present for Mommy and Daddy) so that Santa would know that I am a good boy and deserved the Tonka tucks I asked him to bring me. Sure enough, it worked! I got my Tonka trucks! A concrete truck, dump truck and extra large trash truck!!! He also got me some clothes, Thomas train stuff, my own doodler, and more blocks! The new toys kept me very busy the remainder of the day, although we were able to sneak in a walk on the greenway to enjoy the beautiful sunny Christmas weather and also see all the grandparents on the phone! We also saw Uncle Marcus, Aunt Tracie and Saige who got me a Mater Truck! I LOVE Mater!
The last few days have been nice and relaxing, especially with Daddy not having to go to work. We had a special visit from Uncle Mike, Aunt Sandy, Kaitlyn and Lauren a few days after Christmas! They are fun to hug! Plus, they brought more Christmas presents which are always fun to open! They gave me a stool with my name on it! It's a perfect place for me to sit! I enjoyed spending the afternoon with them.
