Christmas Morning with a 1 1/2 yr Old

   Another Christmas has gone and passed, and this one has probably been the best yet! Even though Aidan isn't quite old enough to grasp the concept of Christmas and Santa bringing presents, he sure enjoyed all the loot he got, and we sure enjoyed watching him have so much fun!

Grandpa got him a Buzz Lightyear 4-wheeler and since we had that out and unwrapped in the living room, it was the first thing he ran for! He hopped right on, pressed the power button, and rammed it right into the bottom of the stairs (our next lesson will be in steering).

  We decided to let Aidan dive headfirst into opening presents. He opened the first one which was a new Truck from Grandpa and then wanted to play with it, having absolutely NO interest in opening any more gifts. Awesome. We even tried hiding them after each one was open, which also didn't work because he's too smart and he knew they were hidden somewhere so we couldn't get him to concentrate on opening any more. Sooo...we let him play with the small group of toys that he opened and we moved on to opening all of our gifts instead.

    It was really nice to have my Dad and my Brother here for the Holiday, and we had an amazing filet mignon dinner for Christmas night. We're also looking forward to going home to NY for New Year's weekend for a family wedding!
