Christmas

Be prepared, this is a long post, mostly because there are a lot of pictures....

I have yet to post anything about Christmas so here goes. Alex had TONS of fun on Christmas. On Christmas Eve, I got off work early and we came home and decorated the Christmas tree. Alex helped of course.

Later that night we went to my mom and dad's and we helped decorate the tree there. Uncle Brian and Uncle Cliff were both there too and we had fun. Something funny about the tree was that when we put the angel on it looked funny so my dad took the angel off and cut the top of the tree off! Then he started drilling holes in the tree and cutting off branches from what he had cut off the top and he put those branches in the holes! He says he does that every year but i've never seen him do it. It was funny to watch him ghetto rig the tree... and I thought my tree was ghetto! LOL.

On Christmas Alex woke up at about 9:30. We had already gotten phone calls from my sister saying she wanted us to come to my moms to open presents so I woke him up. He opened his presents from me (which ended up being nothing compared to what everyone else got him) and he had breakfast. From me (Santa) he got a book, mega blocks (the big huge legos), a toy box, and a couple other little toys.

We went to my mom and dads and got presents from Kelly, Michelle, Mom, Dad, Uncle Brian, Uncle Cliff and my Grandparents. Alex got bath toys, an EAGLES sippy cup, a chair to watch TV in, clothes, a little canteen, some money, a CD of kids songs (which is perfect because he dances to every song he hears and it's good for in the car), and a mini ATV. He got used to opening presents after a while and loved ripping apart the paper.

A couple days later we went to the other Grandma's house and he got a "Spin N' Bounce Pony" which he can sit on and when he bounces, it does stuff on the TV.

Then he also got a Little People airplane and a Chicken Flashlight which he loves from Kristy and William. And he got a Tool Bench with little electric tools and stuff from Jen and Jerry.

Alex has way too many toys now and he LOVES it! We had a great Christmas and unfortunately I had to go back to work the day after Christmas.
