Christmas Morning

Santa left sweet Merit fun toys and a nice note.

He couldn't wait to try out the Duplo dumptruck.

Swollen eyes :(  But excited about the metal Tonka dumptruck for outdoor play!

Fun shark puppet in Merit's stocking

Daddy showed him how to turn over his stocking and dump everything out. :)

Lots of presents to open!



Wow! A Hot Wheels race track!

A new Eric Carle book...he loves these books!

Neat diosaurs from Papa 'D' and Grammy!

Mimi opening her special gift from Poppy; a Grandmother necklace.

Well, Merit woke up Christmas morning with both eyes almost swollen shut. Poor baby. It was really sad to see him sick. He was coughing and crying. We wiped his eyes with warm wash cloths and then took him in the living room to see what Santa brought him. He perked up when he saw his presents on the fireplace. He absolutely loved his dump trucks and all of the many Hot Wheels cars. I fixed a delicious breakfast; homemade mini frittatas and captain crunch encrusted french toast. It was yummy! It took us quite a while to get through all of the gifts. Merit really had a great time tearing through the wrapping paper. He really got the hang of it and then when we were done he asked if he could open more presents.
