Christmas

What a joyful Christmas! The only thing that could of made it better would have been to be surrounded by the entire family. Mike, Sue, Kelty, Al and I (plus all the dogs) enjoyed a beautiful Christmas together .... it was one of those days where we stayed in our PJ's all day and opened gifts, played with the toys, made phone calls to family and ate a great Christmas dinner!

The day started with the normal "early morning" wake-up from Kelty ... stinker has been getting up between 5:30 and 6:00 am the last 2 months. Fortunately he slept until the late "sixes" on Christmas morning. Kelty and I stood at the top of the stairs until Al called us down ....

Our families were too generous ...

Kelty went for his new bike first! Thanks Mimi and Papa!

Couldn't resist this pic ... he was so content in his "hunting" hat!

Kelty's first Slim Jim in his stocking .... we always had Slim Jims in our stocking growing up!

Kelty's school held a "Santa's Workshop" several weeks ago ... I sent him to daycare with 10 dollars and he shopped on his own for his grandparents and us. The teachers put them in little bags with the name of the recipient on them. We held onto them (no peeking) and we put ours under the tree ... this was the gift I anticipated the most! I opened up my gift from Kelty and broke down in tears ... he bought me a necklace! I will treasure this forever!

Kelty gave Aunt Susie a check-up with his doctor's kit.

A Kid-O Bilibo from Uncle Shawn and Aunt Rachel! If you haven't seen a Bilibo ... Google it and check out this product! It's great for endless creative play for the kiddos!

The "Day After"

Playing with his Little People Farm ... thanks Nana and Papa!

Wearing his Christmas shirt I appliqued for him ... a little Christmas Tree.


Endless play! Thanks again everyone for your generosity ... Kelty really "ooh'd" over each and every gift and has enjoyed playing with each and every one!
