Christmas this year was really exciting...Charlie was at the best age yet for it! At 2 and a half years, he didn't fully understand the whole Santa deal, but he definitely understood the present part... and loved it :)
Christmas morning was more exciting for Blaine and I then for Charlie (and Casey, of course). We could hardly fall asleep the night before and woke up extra early the morning of. The gifts were already under the tree and Charlie woke up around 7. Blaine and I raced into his room and tore him out of his crib (that's right.. he is 2 and a half and in a crib). As soon as he saw the mess downstairs in mom mom and pop pop's house, his eyes lit up! Blaine also had set up his 50s diner aside of the tree, so immediately he ran to it. He was so into his diner, so was almost bothered opening his other gifts. He actually didn't finish until 2 days later. But he had a great time!
Off to Meema and Popple's day After Christmas event... where he received probably his most favorite gift... the Thomas and friends complete set! He hasn't stopped playing with it yet and even has to have a train in hand wherever he goes. Woo-woo as he says it.
Casey's first Christmas was somewhat uneventful. He was just as jovial and content as he usually is... best baby ever. And was completely fine with pretty much his Binky and Bumbo seat. He did get plenty of gifts... which he will come to appreciate later. He was the cutest in his Christmas morning pjs.
Wrigley, of course, got some gifts too. Santa couldn't forget him! He was good all year long. He loved his treats and toys.
Blaine and I didn't go all out with gifts for the kids because we knew they would be well spoiled by the grandparents.... we were right! We are all too spoiled. We are ALL cutting back next year.
