Christmas Morning

We spent James’ first Christmas morning at home. We had such a fun time watching him experience the excitement of Christmas. James relaxed by the window while we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus…

and placed Him in the manger.

After breakfast we took a look at what Santa brought us! He brought the girls treats in their special dog bone tins, and he used some of James’ current toys to decorate the scene. He did bring some new things though…like a kid sized table and chairs set, some clothes, a set of spikey bouncey balls and the busy ball popper!

 

This little guy was happy to see the loot!

But, instead of heading to the new toys he went straight for his old ones. Mom and dad, I mean Santa, learned a valuable lesson about having things out and unwrapped.

  

We quickly unwrapped his toy and George worked to install the batteries. Another lesson learned, have the batteries in and ready to go! James didn’t mind the opportunity to play with the box though.

And the bow.

And the wrapping paper.

(Side note, I swear this outfit was long enough a couple weeks ago. He must have grown overnight and is now sporting the knickers look. Oh well, it shows off those chunky calves!)

And then he took a moment to say HEY to the dogs.

And to play with a few of his favorites. “Oh, its ready now dad? I’m coming!”

It’s the busy ball popper!! My favorite!

He first played with this toy at his friend Austin’s house and LOVED it! He was excited to see that this toy was at his house too.

He was so concerned about the balls that rolled away. He wanted to make sure he knew where they all were at all times.

He liked putting his face over the top where the air comes up and I enjoyed watching his wispy hair fly!

 

Are you watching this mom?! So fun!

 

Just like Santa said, James has been a very good boy this year and a huge blessing to his mom and dad. It was such a fun morning with our sweet baby boy. Merry Christmas James George!
