Christmas has come and gone! We spent a quiet day at home, pacing ourselves during present opening. Matt slept in surprisingly late, only stirring around 8:45 am. As soon as I walked into his room, he asked, "Is it Christmas?" He was very happy the answer was finally yes.
Matt and Andy both did very well with presents, especially books. Matt and Jon both got a lot of games, too. Matt is still working on learning that the rules of games are more than departure points for doing what he wants, but he is enjoying playing his games, even if it's by his rules.
Some of Matt's favorite presents are his take apart crane with its battery-powered drill, his mini Thomas train set, his wooden dinosaurs on wheels, his games, and Andy's books. Andy especially likes his new car. The boys like all of their cards and presents, and we thank everyone for thinking of us at Christmas.
Enjoying a quiet moment before his brother awakes and the unwrapping begins
Stopping to read a book
Playing with his new trains
The astronauts prepare for takeoff
Getting ready to count his chickens
Flying the plane from the busy, busy airport
A tired Andy tries out his new hat
Another reading break
Watching his big brother play trains
Andy playing with his new car and teether keys
A tired, contented baby
