Christmas!!!

Christmas is always a special time, but this year was extra special for our family. It was Egan's first Christmas and the first time Blake was actually excited for Christmas. My boys (including Tony) were definitely spoiled this year. I was actually nervous that Blake would have too many presents to open on Christmas morning. I debated about having him open presents from us on Christmas Eve, then open Santa presents and the other family presents on Christmas day. We decided to only have the boys open their Christmas P.J.s on Christmas Eve and everything else on Christmas day. Of course, Blake handled the big day like a pro. No problems being overwhelmed with presents. He played with every present as soon as he got it unwrapped, but he was always ready to open the next one. Hundreds of dollars worth of presents and the biggest hit: snow boots. He put them on right away (after taking off the tennis shoes he had just unwrapped) and didn't take them off all day. Or the next day. Or the next. He looks real cute in just diapers and boots!

Being a mom on Christmas is the best gift ever! It really makes the season more special and helps me remember what this time of year is all about.
