Today is Christmas Eve, the day we celebrated our family Christmas since I work tomorrow. Since we had painted upstairs yesterday, it still smelled bad like paint so Oliver slept on his mattress on our bedroom floor. We all awoke around 6:45 this morning. I think Oliver forgot that it was Christmas at first because I asked him if he heard Santa last night and he said "yes" then thought about it and ran out too look under the tree. I had a monkey bread that rose overnight in the fridge that I threw in the oven quick before he tore into the presents.
It was hard for him to wait to take a picture first but he did.
Oliver was so excited when he picked up the long present. The only thing he had asked Santa for was a fishing pole and he knew it had to be that. I captured his reaction and was so happy that I did. Watch it below.
His fishing pole
He was very excited about his pirate ship too
All of his presents. He received 3 from Santa because that is how many Jesus got and 3 from us.
My poor baby doesn't understand that it is too cold today at -16 degrees this AM to go fishing. It didn't stop him from attempting to fish in the house and from asking us it seemed every hour to go fishing. Soon after this picture everything of course had to come out of the boxes to be played with.
The rest of the morning we cleaned the house, did laundry and made food for Christmas Eve tonight at Grandpa Doerschery's and Grandma Sandy's all while Oliver played with his new toys.
As I said, we are going to my parents tonight with my sister and her family to celebrate and tomorrow, Shawn's parents plan on coming over to our house where they plan on deep frying a chicken. Thanks for following us on our 24 days of Advent activities this month. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year.
