Christmas Morning

Jeff, Dylan & I spent Christmas Eve visiting and partying and didn't get back home until around 10:30 p.m. or so. It was way past Dylan's bed time so he was out cold during the whole transition from the car to bed, haha. 

The next morning, Jeff & I were up before Dylan. Since he went to bed late the night before, I was not surprised that he wanted to sleep in. However, we still had plenty of stuff to do that day so around 8ish, Daddy woke up Dylan while Mommy made some coffee.

Dylan cuddled on the couch with Daddy for a few minutes to wake up.  After he woke up, he realized that there was a bunch of stuff under the tree.  He hopped down from Daddy's lap and decided to go check it all out.

Ironically, out of all the presents that were under the tree, Dylan decided on the smallest in the pile to open first.

It was so cute to see him open his presents.  He tears tiny little pieces off at a time and hands them to you one by one.  Not to mention, we obviously had to check out all the new stuff we opened too, haha.

Dylan got an Elmo in a sub from Santa that he can play with in the tub.  Dylan wants you to constantly keep winding him up to see him move across the water.

Dylan was rearranging some gifts in this picture.  He picked up one of Mommy's presents and moved it to his pile on the other side of the tree, haha.

Santa also brought Dylan some cool animal puzzles to play with.  He loves the piece with the "Ki Ki" on it.

Dylan loves to play with Mommy & Daddy things.  This includes cell phones, cameras of all sorts, remote controls, etc.  Dylan got his very own remote control from Santa.  He also got his very own camera!

Dylan taking a break from opening his presents to help Mommy open one of hers.  Inside this box was one of my favorite presents, my new Eagles sweatshirt!  Good thing too since they are going to the PLAYOFFS!

After getting all of the presents open, Dylan & Daddy started digging in and playing with some new stuff. Dylan got a ton of blocks for Christmas. Now he has enough blocks to build really cool stuff with Daddy!


After all the presents were open, Dylan grabbed a quick breakfast and then ran back to the living room to dig into his new toys.  He was building all kinds of things with Daddy (as seen above), playing with his new cars, balls, camera, remote, etc.  In the meantime, Mommy & Daddy gathered a few things and started getting ready to go to Grandma & Grandpa Gray's house for Christmas Day.
