Brody came down stairs and headed straight for the tree. I wonder how he knew that the 4-wheeler under the tree was for him? He didn't even wait for us to show it to him...he just pulled it out from under the tree and hopped on! As you can see, it's John Deere green and (just as Daddy Steve & Namaw were hoping) he immediately started calling it his mower. He loves going on the riding mower with Mike, so everyone had hoped that this could be a winter alternative to mowing with Daddy. When he pushes the button it'll go forward (at 2 mph), however, he hasn't learned to steer yet so he runs into lots of things (especially when he rides it in the house)!
He was just as excited about what Santa left in his stocking....2 toothbrushes!!! Not only did he brush his own 2.5 teeth; he also wanted to brush Daddy & Mommy's teeth! Here is is brushing his teeth and Mike's teeth at the same time. That's talent ;)
Mike surprised me with a pregnancy body pillow and 2- 1 hour massages for Christmas!!! While I was excitedly talking to Mike about the massages (and not paying attention to Brody), our son was busy climbing on top of the mower seat and jumping off!!!
GG and Sissie came over later in the morning and stayed for lunch. I think they had fun watching Brody play with all of his new toys. Before they left he had to give them a "bonk" (fist to fist). They got a kick out of that.
Tonight Caleb and Audria invited us to their house for Christmas dinner. Audria made a delicious meal for everyone to enjoy!
Carl & Tricia and David & Daina (Audria's parents) were also there to celebrate with us.
Brody and Mike enjoyed the fire. It's hard to believe that Caleb and Audria just moved into this house a few weeks before Christmas! Can you imagine having Christmas dinner at your house just 2 weeks after you moved in and having your house look like you've lived there for 2 years?!?
Brody was excited to open yet another present (from Caleb & Audria). This was a manly present...tools!!! Considering the fact that he goes to sleep with a toy screwdriver in each hand...this was a perfect gift for Brody!
We didn't get to stay very long after dinner. It was a long day for Brody. It's amazing how much different this Christmas was than last year. Last year he didn't really care about opening gifts (or even playing with them). This year he said, "WOAH!!!" and "WOW!!!" as he pulled the wrapping paper off of each gift (before he could even tell what it was)! It was so much fun to watch his enthusiasm!
