Christmas 2010!

This was a very special Christmas for us because it was your second Christmas and our first in our new house in Nanoose. We moved the Christmas tree straight into the living room and set it up right away since moving day was December 5th. We weren't sure how much of this holiday you would understand, being almost 2. You definnitely know who Santa (Anta) is but don't know what he does. You know what a Christmas tree is and even what reaindeer are but you aren't grasping the idea of Christmas as yet. You knew that you got a whole lot of goodies under the tree but that's about it!
On the big day we tried to get you to open your presents but you were so transfixed with the previous toy you wouldn't tear yourself away from it. You would cry and scream when we tried to pry you away from the last toy so we would open up a new one and show it to you and when you saw the new one you would throw the first toy aside to inspect the new one! It was too funny.

Daddy made his traditional cinnamon bun Christmas tree on the big day!

This year Daddy fulfilled a huge dream of his and bought a Turducken. He was super excited about it but in the end we were a little disappointed with the "meatiness" of it. I know I know, what were we expecting! I think we'll go back to the traditional turkey next year!

I can't wait until next year when we have a little more time to prepare for Christmas and when you'll get the traditions a little bit more. Things are so exciting when we can see them through your eyes. XOXOXOXOX
