We spent Christmas Eve at Mom and Dad's house. This was going to be the night that we opened all of our presents except for Nathan's from Mommy, Daddy, and Santa. Everyone was there: Me, Wayne, Nathan, Carrie, Chris, Jennifer (my sister), Robert (nephew), Grandma, and Cookie and Otis!
We actually opened presents with Alexandra a few nights earlier because she was spending Christmas with her dad. Nathan loves the book Goodnight Moon, and bribed Alexandra to read it to him.

My sweet little Nathan knows to SIT in his rocking chair, not stand...yeah right!
Boys will be boys! Robert got the idea to tie Uncle Wayne to the chair. And, of course, Nathan thought that sounded like fun, so he was quick to help out. What a follower.

"Hey, it was Robert's idea. I didn't even touch the ribbon...promise."
These next pictures are from Christmas Eve. Nathan was so excited about all of the presents that we had to keep him from opening everyone else's!
Robert opened a mountain diorama kit, metal making kit, a volcano, magic tricks, games, and more. Being a kid is so much fun!
One of Nathan's favorite toys was Elmo from Mama and Papa. This toy is so cute! He waves his arms, sits and stands, even crosses his legs all while telling stories and jokes, singing songs and playing games. "Melmo" is Nathan's new best friend!
He also got a broom from Mama and Papa so he can help clean up.
And his own copy of his favorite book, "Goodnight Moon."
Auntie Carrie and Uncle Chris got Nathan a puzzle, a cleaning trolley complete with a vacuum, mop, broom, spray bottle (can't wait for him to figure out he can put water in that), and a dust pan. Nathan always wants to get my broom or mop to push his toys around, but is constantly hitting the wall or nearly knocking over things on the tables because they're too big for him, so this is perfect for him. They also got him a book about puppies and piggies :)

Aunt Jen, Alexandra, and Robert also bought Nathan his first motorized 4-wheeler! Nathan isn't spoiled is he?
Thank you to everyone for all of Nathan's gifts!

Nate, you were a very good boy this year. You got TONS of gifts from everyone! Christmas was so fun with you this year because you really tore into the wrapping paper!
Love,
Auntie Carrie
We had such a great Christmas. We loved having all of you at our house. Mother talked about all her presents all the next day. We love all of you. Mama, Papa, and Cookie.
