Merry Christmas!!

This year we were really excited about James opening his gifts & hoping that he would be interested in doing so, but no. Don & I had to open most of his gifts, we learned what type of gifts should be open last like legos. James helped me open his legos that we got him and he didn't want anything to do with his other gifts, it was cute! After having our Christmas Friday morning at home, we headed off to Knoxville to Don's parents, despite the weather. When we got to Grandma & Grandpa's house James was very excited about all the wrapped gifts under the tree. Though when we started to open gifts that afternoon, James was more interested in reading his books that we brought from home than about the presents. He got super excited about a puzzle they got him & well the Police Charger that his Aunt & Uncle got him!! It was funny when he helped me unwrap it & he pointed straight at Don & chatter off something to him, like Dada get over here and put this together!! It took Don & his dad awhile to get the car put together but they got it & James loves sitting in it. The car goes up to 5 mph, has lights/sirens/2 way radio& looks like a real Dodge Charger!! Saturday morning James woke Grandma up to come get us, because he saw that Santa had came & brought him a tool bench & a stocking full of goodies. James has been playing non stop with the tool bench & his legos! We had a GREAT Christmas, having a child makes it so much more better!!

Santa!!

We took James to see Santa on Monday when Don got home from work. James did pretty well, I will say last years visit went alittle better but than again he was only 4 months old too! The whole way there I kept telling James that we were going to visit Santa. When we got there and waiting in line I kept telling James see Santa & he would wave hi and smile. Well when it got our turn to go up and talk to Santa James got SUPER shy/bashful. When I tried to put him on Santa's lap he grabbed ahold of my neck so hard, I'm pretty sure that there are still marks on my neck from his fingernails!! He did not cry but the bottom lip was sticking out pretty far.
