Post Christmas Round Up #1

What a glorious Christmas weekend. I pray everyone reading this also had a fantastic time with their family and friends.

I'll post a few over the course of the next couple days for our different get-togethers.

First up - our little family Christmas on Christmas morning! Logan woke up a little before 8 and we headed downstairs. Our tree was in the family room - the same location as our fire place - the one totally 100% off limits items in the house. So of course the temptation was too fantastic for Logan. We had to put the end table in front of it and that mostly deterred him.

I digress - Logan was pretty good at opening his gifts this year and helping us open ours. I tried so hard to get a video of him, but he was not feeling it. As soon as he saw the video camera he went after it. But with every piece of wrapping paper he tore off he squealed and screamed with happiness! It was fantastic. Logan's favorite toy from us was a toy vacuum and piano. It got to the point he carried them both around because he didn't seem to know which he wanted to play with. We also got him a sit and spin and I was shocked to see him just sit down and start spinning. He is also the proud owner of an Aquadoodle. I love that thing! He and I kind of fought over who would get a turn with it. I loved drawing with it and he loved sucking the water out of the pen after doing a little doodling. Was pretty funny actually.

Then I made some cinnamon rolls! YUM! Logan has never had one and while I did intend to give him some bites I did not expect him to walk up and snatch one off the plate. He chowed down on that thing! Nathan and I were just dying. I think I must have said, "Oh my! Look at him!!" a dozen times. ha! He really enjoyed his treat for sure. (I did follow that unhealthy breakfast up with some yogurt for good measure!)

Here are some photos from our morning.

Sitting on top of one of daddy's gifts (he got a new lens for his fancy camera, a 4 week photography class and a new Nintendo Wii game.)

Helping mommy open one of her gifts. (Nathan gave me a new jewelry box, a Snuggie and an HD radio/stereo for my iPod.)

What a sweet face... angel boy!

Proof he couldn't decide what he wanted to play with!

Cinnamon roll time!! NOM NOM NOM!

Okay - here you go!
