We did our family Christmas for the 4 of us yesterday and it was so.much.fun! We decided to do this before we leave for IL the 24th so that 1: we can still enjoy our time together the 4 of us for our Christmas and 2: so Eli and Zacary had all week to play with his new toys from us!! It was so perfect! Eli and I left cookies and a note to Santa on the table and Santa ate all the cookies and Eli kept saying "all gone" :] When Eli saw all the gifts he was soooo amazed!!! He loved opening them all and it was so cute to see his reactions to all his new stuff :] He would concentrate so hard while opening the gifts and then get so stinkin excited to see what it was and to get it opened asap :] His favorite toy from us was the Woody doll that is exactly like the one on Toy Story. He had the pull string, the hat that came off, and his boot said Andy on the bottom of it. He was sooooo into him too- checking him out, holding him, having him talk all the time- it was way too precious!!! We also told Eli all of the gifts were for him and Zacary so he wouldn't get upset at all. He did so good with this too- and he would take toys over to Zacary to see also :] It was so stinkin sweet and so good of him to do- he's such a good big brother!! It also works out good we say that all the gifts are his and Zacary's b/c then if something is for Zacary Eli also likes- it works out good for him to know it is his too since they will always share toys anyway :] I am so proud of him for how good he shared and how excited he was to show Zacary the new toys also :] Melts my heart! It was also so sweet to see Zacary react! He would kick his feet and smile so much when we would put toys up for him to see and make it talk, sing, etc. :] I just loved it so much- it was a great great time with the 4 of us for sure!!!!! I also took 100 pics and they take foooor freakin ever to upload on here so I ask you to check them all out under the album * Christmas 2010 <3 on my Facebook page :] Yes- I am very obsessed with my new camera already and absolutely LOVE it!!! I love it so much sometimes Eli doesn't want his pic taken hahaha- then I put it away and take a big break from it :] Makes me laugh!!! Just Mommy's new toy!!! The pics are so precious though and show every bit of feelings I had to spend Christmas together with my lil family- it was absolutely perfect and so much fun- allll smiles and makes my heart so happy <3
We also took the boys to Mickey Mouse live today too! That my friends was also sooooo much fun :] The dang place didn't allow cameras though so I didn't get to take any pics. I am so glad we chose to take the boys though! I had them in matching Santa Mickey shirts of course and Mickey had a magic show and it was so so neat. Eli really loved seeing Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, and Goofy :] He also once again would concentrate on them so much hahaha! It cracks me up! He loved the whole show though and afterwards we went out to dinner at Chili's and he would talk bout Mickey and Minnie and then when we got home tonight and I read him a bedtime story and went to tuck him into bed he wanted to sleep with his Mickey doll and would just keep looking at him and smiling... it was the cutest thing ever <3<3 I had so much fun this weekend, and I know Noah and the boys did too. I just love love love my family sooooo much <3 I can't put it into words with how much love I have for them!! :]
I also want to mention that Zacary is feeling much better- thank goodness. I broke down sad for him and never want to see him in so much pain ever again. I am still hoping to get him into the Dr tomorrow but oh so glad he had a good weekend and felt good... my poor poor baby :[ We bought him little tummies gripe water and that seems to help him out too. How terribly sad it is to see your child in pain :/ Hoping so much he continues to feel good!
This week's agenda: library for story time on Tuesday, playgroup Wednesday, Zacary turns 3 months old this week also (holy moly), and then hanging out with our wonderful friends we met down here on Thursday evening! We then are off to IL Christmas Eve until the 28th~! We are now flying b/c we found cheaper prices to fly then what Noah's truck with the gas milege costs to drive! Noah may have to work the 29th and 30th so it works out also to fly for that reason too :] I am so glad we are flying- so much less time on the boys for sure! Have a great week everyone- and a Merry Christmas :]
