New Year Day Shopping

George and I went out to by bedding for his new bed, and he was thrilled to find some snow on the parking strip

The things he says!

New one from George this morning "Daddy, where are you going Daddy? Going in the basement Scooby Doo?"

George loves Jazzie's gifts too

Santa sent me a chuckit and balls for my stocking. George loves using it to throw the ball for Jasmine.

George and the Dragon

I had to go to work today, but Chris and George got to stay home together. George still had 3 unopened presents under the tree this morning, and must have opened at least one. Chris just texted me this photo of G with his gift from Uncle John & Aunt Sarah sent from Ireland.

Christmas Morning 2010

In spite of George's fear of Santa, he did like getting gifts.  Chris and I awoke at 6 am, too excited to sleep, though far too tired.  So we got up and I made blueberry muffins and we drank tea...lovely.  George eventually began to stir at 8 am.  We went in to greet him and told him Santa had come during the night and left him presents.  He was a bit worried.  He wouldn't walk down the hallway himself and halfway to the living room said to me, very quietly in my ear, "Santa be nice to me???"  When I explained that Santa had come and gone, he was much relieved and ran into the living room.  Below is what we watched:

After this he was so happy that he was in no hurry to open more gifts.  It is now half one in the afternoon and he's just gone to nap with more than half his gifts still unopened under the tree.  So Chris and I too are going to snuggle in for a while to rest.

A few more pictures of our lovely morning-

Father Christmas

Santa came and left his treats, Mommy had to take a peak!

Winter Sandbox Play

No matter the weather (this day was 22 degrees F) George loves digging in his sandbox.
