Cael had a great Christmas, which means we all did. He certainly received many fun gifts, with which he already loves playing. He saw his wagon from Mama and Dad first, since it wasn't wrapped. He ran to it and got in. He wouldn't get out, so he opened the rest of his gifts while in the wagon. It was cute. We also got him a little camping chair. Santa brought him a doctor's play kit, the movie UP, a book, and some Smarties, his favorite candy. Gramma gave us a game and snacks to play and eat as a family. Grandma Jill gave Cael a cute outfit and a basketball hoop that adjusts up to six feet. Grandpa and Grandma doled out a car track with cars, a stuffed-animal puppy that makes noises, a Mickey Mouse phone, and a little four-wheeler. Aunt Kirsti and Jalen gave him an outfit and a Steelers' football that makes sounds when he throws it on the ground. They also went in on the basketball hoop, along with Aunt Sarah. From Aunt Julie, Cael got Handy Manny with all the tools. Aunt Amber and Uncle Chad gave him an adorable little Bass Pro hat. James, Dad's friend from work, gifted Cael with a Leap Frog learning bear. From Hope, he got keys with a remote that makes sounds. Also, Cael's great-grandparents came through with a cute bear and some money for his college/mission fund, great-grandma Baca and great-grandma and grandpa Ellsworth, respectively. What a spoiled kid and what a haul! It warms our hearts to know, however, that he was and is truly excited about everything he received. There was no ho-hum attitude about his gift-opening and playing.
