Unpacking the stocking with Mommy (the grandkids have stockings about 10x the size of anything I ever dreamed of having...what's up with that????) This was a puppet book about a Polar Bear.
Elmo's Birthday DVD...WOO HOO! And he also got the book, Potty Time Elmo, which I'm sure we'll be using in the next 12 months.
Grammy was trying to help him open a big lollipop, but I believe Granddad said "No, he'll get it on the furniture!" Thanks, Dad, now he can get it on MY furniture!!! He was able to bite the head off his Russell Stover Santa with relative ease and little stressing out from Granddad.
Look who else was hiding in my stocking...UNIQUA!!! And TYRONE!!! AND AUSTIN!!! (Apparently Santa couldn't find Pablo or Tasha...)
This is one of those Fisher Price dooes that you go through, but it's the barnyard, which he loves. We chased plastic eggs all over my parents house for three days.
Grammy found this sock monkey toboggan with matching sock monkey gloves, which he looks adorable in, but had no use for at that moment...
Opening presents from Uncle John and Abby Lynn.
Abby loves to help out...Benjamin loves to let her.
The holiday was full of family, food, laughing, grandkids chasing each other around the house, dragging the dogs to and from the kennel, gasing up the car for the -nth time, Granddad snoring on the sofa, Grammy doing endless loads of dishes from all of us grazing all day long, Pippi consuming 1/3 of the world's crisco in her baking, Poppa yelling Yabba Dabba Doo, and lots of fun and relaxation. I can't wait for next Christmas to see where we are, what we are doing, how Ben and Abby have grown, whether or not there will be another on the way, and the end result of all that 2010 will bring. I think it's going to be our best year yet.
