Christmas 2009

This Christmas was much more experienced than the previous; I think the birthday round of presents to David solidified what should be done. We spent this Christmas, first, with my parents at our house. My favorite moments, by far, were when they opened the ceramic cross David had painted for them, and also when David opened the Home Depot Stool/Work bench. He cutely said, "Oh, thank you. A stool for time out!" (David has a time out stool at the end of our hallway). We giggled and giggled.
Our second Christmas occurred at our house on Christmas morning after Santa had come. David enjoyed his knight costume, R2Potatoo, Backyardigans computer game, books, fruit snacks, world map floor puzzle, and, most importantly, his VTech camera. He spent the morning taking interesting pictures: everything from the dogs, us, himself, the insides of bags, and rooms in the house. We finished off our morning with pancakes and digging ourselves out of the driveway so we could leave for Tulsa.
Eventually, we made it to Tulsa, and because they were snowed in, we celebrated at Scott & Andrea's house and helped rescue them from their covered driveway. David appreciated more books, clothes, Backyardigans figures, and Star Wars action figures.
Overall, it was a plentiful and enjoyable holiday, and the cool aspect of this Christmas was the David understood and was ready for the loot.
Thanks to all, and Merry Christmas.
