Christmas 2010

Christmas was soooo much fun! Anthony really enjoyed the weeks prior to Christmas; putting up the tree, decorating the house, hanging lights and driving around looking at Christmas decorations around the neighborhood. He's become quite the candy cane junky too! We had to move all the candy canes high up on the tree so that he couldn't reach them. Although, he did figure out that he can move his chair and use it as a step stool to help himself! And just like last year, he LOVES daddy's peppermint candy cane cookies!

Christmas day was just an amazing day from start to finish.  Seeing the excitement and joy on our boy's face is just priceless. He opened his presents slowly and took the time to inspect and play with each one. And he was more than happy to help mommy and daddy open their presents (whether we wanted him to or not!) We were all happy that Aunt Michelle came over to spend the morning with us. It's such a special time and we love to be able to share it!
We were joined for Christmas dinner by Anthony's Grandma (GaGa), his Auntie Diane, his cousins Aaron & Kevin and his Auntie Chelle. It was a total group effort and everyone brought something for the meal. Anthony really loves to play with his cousins. They played and ran around the house non-stop! Anthony was SO wiped out by the time we finally got him to bed, he went straight to sleep!

Thank you WI & IL family for sending your love from afar. As always, we miss you all and look forward to another visit soon!
