Christmas: Part 1 took place in Winfield this year the weekend before Christmas. It really was like being a kid again. The massive pile of gifts stacked under the Christmas tree made all of us giddy with excitement . . . and greed!
The fun started Saturday morning when we all woke up. Since neither Xan nor Canon are quite old enough to understand the whole Santa Claus thing, no one got up any earlier than normal. We ate a good breakfast, then headed to the Living Room to see what jolly old Saint Nick had delivered. Barry and I got tons of great stuff (mostly money for a new bed), but of course, our focus was on The Can Man. The pictures illustrate much better than my limited vocabulary can.
Though Canon is into lots of things right now, Toy Story is definitely his favorite. "Woo-y" and "Buzzss" are said multiple times each hour. So you can imagine his excitement when he opened these gifts. Not sure if you can tell, but the shirt he's wearing in the first picture is a Toy Story 3 t-shirt. We had to put it on immediately. He wouldn't even give me time to take off his pajamas first. Aunt Lydia gave him the Woody doll, and he carried it around the rest of the day.
These are some other great gifts - a dog that follows his bone, and an IXL by Fisher Price. The IXL comes with interactive coloring pages, games, stories, music and pictures with each downloadable game. Canon loves playing with Barry's iPhone, so Nonna and Poppa thought this would be more age-appropriate. Of course, he loves it!
Canon loved everything Xan, and Xan loved everything Canon. Ever since the whole New Baby thing has entered our lives again, Canon has been very interested in babies. In fact, no matter how many times we tell him to say "Xan," he responds with "Baby."
Besides opening presents and obsessing over cousins, we spent the rest of the weekend just relaxing. We put in Toy Story 3 to subdue Canon for awhile, but the adults were more into it than he was. Barry suggested several times, whenever he snapped out of his Woody-induced coma, that we turn the movie off because Canon was not even watching it. Then Buzz would appear, and we wouldn't hear from him for another twenty minutes or so.
The long ride home was broken up by a visit to Big Mom. What did we do the rest of the way home? Watch Toy Story 3, of course!
