So anyways, we went to Erik's family in Burlington on Christmas Eve. We got to celebrate at Grandmaw's nursing home because she is hard to remove from the home so we went to her! We had a great time and played dirty santa with the family. We came back home that night so Gage could wake up Christmas morning to see what Santa brought him. He didn't wake up until 9:00 :) Wahoo.
To prep for Santa we made him cookies (Gage asked if he could leave two so see if Santa would share, haha) and milk. Gage got carried away with the sprinkles....as usual (see below).
This is the first time Gage really "got it". In the past we really just had one small toy for him to open but Erik HAD to get him more this year. All he asked for was a squishy snake. So he definitely got that and who would have thought that a $14 toy would be his favorite! His "big" gift was a new tool bench. He liked the shop vac that came with it and thought it was pretty cool that it had a light to help him see. He got "big boy underwear" and Santa wrote him a note. Santa told him he wanted him to be using the potty and sleeping in a big boy bed by the time he comes back next year. Ha, we can only HOPE. He has no desire to not wear diapers, argh.
After spending some time at our house Christmas morning, we went to my mom and dads to eat lunch and open gifts there. That night we went to Mimi's and had Christmas with my moms side of the family.
As always, we are beyond grateful to have both of our families and get the opportunity to share Christmas with them.
YaYa and all her babies!
