Christmas! (Only a few weeks late)

So, I am late on the Christmas post, but wanted to write something so that I'll remember all the details when I'm old and gray. This Christmas was great...Will was definitely into it, although I don't think he really understood it. He loved all of the presents, but didn't understand the concept of opening one after another. Instead, he'd open one, be super-excited about that and want to play with it, and then get mad/pitch a fit if you encouraged him to open another present. So, I guess the moral is that we should make sure he only has one present, but we all know that's not going to happen. In fact, Will got TWO Christmas celebrations this year: we celebrated the night of the 21st with my family and then headed to C'ville and celebrated there on the actual day. Here are some of the gifts Will received this year (in no particular order) and a few pictures of him enjoying the gifts.

• A Will-sized green chair from Pottery Barn--he loves getting in and out of it


• Lots of books and some new puzzles



• Several new trucks, including a fire truck



• A trike with a handle so mom and dad (and anyone else he can convince) can push it since he doesn't know how to peddle



• A wagon (although, he doesn't know that he received this yet--Carol and Bill gave it to him and we didn't unpack it so that it will be easy for them to bring down in their car)


• Two tool benches--a huge hit


• Quite a few stuffed animals


• A CD player that plays special-sized, kid-themed CDs that were included with it


• A ball popper! He loves this toy and it keeps him entertained for a while, but it is just a wee bit annoying (understatement of the year), so we still haven't brought it in our house.
  

Obviously, he's one lucky kid. And we're one lucky family.
