On the eve of Christmas Eve Houston and I baked cookies for Santa's early arrival and left him a glass of milk to wash them down, I may have been more excited to leave cookies for Santa I felt like a kid again this Christmas with the anticipation of Houston's reaction to all the fun!
I think one of my favorite memories from this Christmas was Houston's reaction to seeing Santa's cookies gone the next morning... His eyes lit up and he whispered "wooowww!"
It figures the one day we want Houston to wake up early he doesn't... Brooks and I were actually waiting on him... I was too excited to sleep. When he rise and shine he was a little groggy for his initial look at the tree and the gifts under it... you could see the wheels turning in his little noggin wondering where all this stuff came from and who it was for... but I have to tell you when he locked eyes with his very own "grill" it was love at first site and to be honest didn't care much about opening his other gifts... McKennon was all smiles and giggles that morning.... Life doesn't get much better than this!
Houston looks a little embarrassed by his Sesame Street big boy underwear Santa left in his stocking!
Daddy was a good boy too this year!
Christmas Eve... all dressed up for church! After Church Martha and Chipper joined us for Dinner.
Christmas day Brooks was Mr. Mom and took the kids to Ginna and Pooky's for the Jones' Christmas. Then on Sunday we concluded our festivities with a visit from Nana, Jason, Charlie and Kelly. By this point Houston was a pro at opening gifts and even had appropriate reactions. While opening one of McKennon's gift he pulled out an outfit and exclaimed "Cuutee!" It was hysterical!
All in All we had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to 2010!!!!
