This year was Leif's first Christmas (just like any other day for him- sleep and eat ;). It was Asher's second Christmas, and I'm not sure that he completely understood what was going on, but he had a lot more fun than he did last year.
He really got into tearing the wrapping paper and loved getting new toys.
He got quite a few really fun gifts that he has loved playing with
since, but the clear winner on Christmas day was his "popcorn popper"
from Uncle Brent and Aunt Niccolle. This thing went everywhere with him as he pretended to vacuum the floor.
I thought I was quite clever to pack Austin's present in a big box with packing peanuts so he wouldn't know what it was. It wasn't as clever an idea when Asher and his cousins decided to throw the peanuts all over the room. But it cleaned up pretty quickly and they had a lot of fun doing it.
All in all, Asher loved being able to eat candy for breakfast, have his cousins over all day, take a shorter nap, and have new toys to play with. But by mid-afternoon he started having a melt down. His "popcorn popper" had to come everywhere with him, but for some reason was making him upset. He wouldn't calm down when I rocked him and sang to him, but did calm down a little when he got to take a bath with his cousin, Ben, and play with one of his new tubby toys. He went to bed by 6:30 on Christmas and we were glad to have some peace :)
Asher love the hairdo, looks like way to much fun!!!!Nonna
