Christmas Day

Christmas Day brought more gifts.  We barely get in the door and it's on.  W being given his gifts, paper flying, in general - mass confusion.  C and I have a hard time keeping up with what comes from who.  These are the few photos I was able to get.

W wearing his new track suit with his faux hawk (that he wanted).  

He's ready for the gift opening frenzy

As soon as the gifts are all opened, C starts in on transforming Optimus Prime.  I believe this is for 5 and up, but it took two adults an hour or so to get it to work.  The instructions are on a large, 3 fold, 2 sided piece of paper. 

W playing with his cousin Gracie and her new xbox kinect (which uses your body's motion in the game).  W was a bit too small to register.

The day after... W was already to go.

Christmas Morning

So, Christmas morning finally came.  We was stoked when he saw what Santa brought him, a bat cave and kitchen.  He played for a couple of minutes and then it was on - opening gifts.  It did not take long.

W and Zeph checking out their stuff in their stockings.

W was stoked to see the accessories to his bat cave (ie; joker, two face and vechicles).

Zeph was a little overwhelmed with the whole scene.

Once again, W held up all of his & Zeph's) presents for the camera.

W helping Daddy with his gifts.  He not only helped us, he let us help him with his.

Zeph made an effort to open a gift.

In the end, W was very excited with all of his gifts, just a little disappointed that we were done opening them.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve finally came.  W waited so patiently to open gifts.  But once we started, it was hard to contain him. 

 

We had pirate pasta for dinner.  W was part of the clean plate club. 

W was very helpful in opening everyone's gifts.  Then he would show off the unwrapped present for the camera.

It was hard, but I got him to stop long enough to model a vest he got from Auntie Susie & Paul.

I don't think Zeph really knew what to make of it all.

Baking

W made sugar cookies with Daddy on Christmas Eve.  W may have Carlin's baking skills.  He really likes to "help" with anything Carlin is making.
