Christmas Celebrations

We had a wonderful time this Christmas with family. The two days were busy, but they were full of fun and memory-making.

On Christmas Eve day, Cael got to sit on this horse that Uncle Shane had at Gramma's house.
 Later that evening, after games and our traditional Christmas Eve food, the kids played the parts in the nativity. Cael was an angel, complete with wings and his ook and en to record the events for future generations.
 Getting new pajamas on Christmas Eve is a tradition in our family. Cael loves his new soft reindeer pajamas complete with socks to keep his toes warm and toasty.
 On Christmas morning, we had to wake Cael up at 8:15 to open his gifts. First, he saw what Santa brought him: notebooks and new crayons; a Handy Manny game for his IXL from Mom-mom and Da-da-ee; a doodle pro; and, of course, an orange and some candy in his stocking.
 Hope gave Cael a Cars suitcase that contains a blanket and a pillow. She also got him a new Mickey Mouse cell phone. He decided to lie down and call Mr. Mouse to tell him all about his presents. You can see his loot around him in the pictures.
 All tuckered out already...
 After brunch at Gramma's, we headed to Woodruff and Holbrook. Cael needed some caffeine to get through the rest of the day.
 At Grandpa and Grandma's, Cael got a cowboy hat to match Grandpa's.
 More Coke!
Cael was spoiled with gifts, as usual, but he has been a good boy this year, so I suppose he deserves it. What a great third Christmas we celebrated!
