Worth the Work

Kept ya waiting, huh? Hehe. Sorry. So.....

We got home at 11:00pm Christmas Eve, put the bug to bed and worked on putting together all of his presents and bringing them up from the basement. Erm....I mean.....sat back and watched as Santa set them up. And because, lets face it, Santa is a busy guy and doesn't have an eye to detail like say, ME, I rearranged them all to my liking.

I'm picky like that.

{but doesn't it look so pretty?}

{he walked around the corner and was all WHOA. Then he let out a trademark 'heh' and we knew he was happy!}

{first he sat on his Mickey chair}

{then on his Mickey table}

{then on his elmo chair}

{see a pattern here?}

{then in his new igloo tent}

{he really liked the tent!}

{heeeey! there are some toys other than furniture here!}

After all of the opening present and playing with presents and then moving onto more presents and OH MY GOD HOW MANY PRESENTS DID WE GET THIS KID? I started cooking and preparing for our Chirstmas guests, my parents. WOOT!! No driving for us! Eddie was perfect and went down for his nap and even woke up from his nap right on schedule. And of course, when he woke up from his nap there were even more presents to open. Oh my.

{I love this picture for many reasons. Check out my dad's cheek bones and eddie's. check out their smiles. all the same! so cute.}

{all of my elves working away. how many adults does it take to put together a toy?}

The next day, we went to my parent's house (in the blizzard, if you don't remember!) to celebrate Christmas with my brother and sister in law. Besides the sledding, we had some awesome food and Eddie looked so freaking cute rocking some of his new clothes from Nanna and Grandpa.

{seriously. how awesome it he?}

{i could only sneek quick snap shots because i soooo did not expect him to keep the hat on for as long as he did!}

{my momma, the hostess with the mostess}

So there you have it. All of our Chirstmas celebrations. We are so thankful, as always, for our wonderful families. I hope that you all had a very, very Merry Christmas with your loved ones.
