We Believe: Christmas 2011

Merry Christmas, Patrick and Tommy! Patrick, we had to wake you at 8:00 so we could open some presents before mass, but you jumped right in. Immediately you started in on Santa's gifts looking for your garbage truck, and your eyes literally lit up when you opened it up. Tommy, you lasted only 30 minutes before it was nap time, and your brother quickly tried to make claim to all your presents in your absence. Sharing is going to be an issue in the coming weeks. Patrick wants to play with all of Tommy's toys, but doesn't want Tommy even looking at his.

Happiness = A boy and his garbage truck

Pap Pap loved his hawaiian shirt with old fighter planes from by brother and sister-in-law.

Even Ollie, Alligator (already off playing with his), and Teddy received presents from Santa.

After church, my mom stopped by and P received another garbage truck! the two garbage trucks were by far his favorites-he has not stopped playing with them. Bonus: Neither make any noise.

For dinner we drove the 2 miles to Tom's parents house. Baba opened our gift - 42 pages of her two favorite little guys.

Tommy received his first pair of walking shoes (we are gearing up) from my mom. The velcro straps are Earnie's hands. Cutest shoes ever, except for...

...these new boots P received from Baba and Grampy. Can't wait to start this boy on riding lessons.

Bliss.
