Before bed on Christmas Eve we got Ben's special plate out that he made for Santa cookies and grabbed a few cookies. Then we put them on the plate and told Ben that they were a snack for Ho Ho (aka Santa) when he comes to our house tonight. He then picked one up and started to eat it-when we reminded him they were for Ho Ho and he lost it. Poor guy was sick and here we were telling him he couldn't eat a cookie because it was for Ho Ho the man that he was scared to death of. Fail.
Christmas morning started with a quick breathing treatment and then it was off to see if Ho Ho came to our house. And boy he sure did! Santa brought Ben a trike! He was so excited! This year was the first year that when he opened his presents he would have a expression on his face-like when he opened his set of Cars 2 cars he had the best look on his face...pure joy! It was so much fun! But he didn't quite grasp the concept that everyone has presents not just him so he "helped" us open our presents too!
After we wrapped up Christmas morning at our house we went to my parents for the second Christmas morning! Again Ben helped everyone open their gifts and would then try to steal them! And he was spoiled rotten with all his gifts! A little over an hour into opening gifts you could tell Ben wasn't feeling very well and he was getting pretty cranky so we left to go home and take a snoozer.
After nap time Grandma Carol and Grandpa Jimmy stopped by to see Ben and exchange gifts. Ben loves his new waffle blocks! He keeps building houses!
Then PaPa "White Truck" and Grandma Marq stopped by with more presents! He got a gift card to Barnes & Noble and he is going to be so so excited to go pick out some new books!
Up next was Christmas dinner at our house. My parents and brothers came over to eat lasagna and meatballs and see all Ben's new toys! It was a perfect day minus Ben not feeling the best.
This year I guess I slacked pretty bad on taking pictures. I failed at getting any good pic's of Ben with his 3 sets of grandparents or anyone for that matter. I won't let that happen again next year-I promise!
