Eli Bear, This was the best Christmas EVER! I knew it would be magical having you understand the concept of gifts! On Christmas Eve we headed to Chuy and Grandma's house for a dinner. You had tamales and loved them. At one point in the night, I had gone to the bathroom and when I came back, you were pulling your pjs out of your diaper bag and wanted to put them on. So, Uncle Eric asked if you could open one of his presents. You did and you were so excited to discover they were Woody pajamas! You immediately started ripping off your clothes. Then Cristy wanted you to open one of her gifts, so we just went ahead and started gifts early. Your aunt and uncle spoiled you with Toy Story presents and so did mom, dad, and grandma. You walked away with a Woody, Buzz Lightyear and a Jessie doll. You lucky little boy. Oh, and Eric got you a matching Woody hat and holster, needless to say, you were the coolest cowboy on the block.
Christmas morning was extra special because we got to spend time with just us 3. You, daddy, and I all took turns opening presents and spoiling each other. Of course you helped us open ours as well. We got you a pair of Doc Marten boots, and when you opened the box and saw they were shoes, you said NO and promptly closed the lid on the box. Dad and I had a good chuckle. Grandma bought you a scooter that you were not interested in, and Nana got you a motorized car wish you are afraid of. We hope that by summer time you will be ready to rock your new toys.
After breakfast, Nana, Papa, Dejia, Grandpa Alan and Grandma showed up for even more gifts and dinner. You were spoiled yet again and had such a blast showing off all your toys and being a ham for everyone. We had a very nice dinner together and put you to bed at 6:45. You were one tired little boy and slept for 13 hours straight.
It's been a few days since Christmas, and you are still peeking under the tree and saying "Presents?" Me too little guy, me too. I wish it was Christmas every day. I am so glad that you are finally at a stage where you are able to understand holidays and we can start all sorts of traditions with you. I love you so much little guy,
Momma
