We decided to just take Eli to see a free Santa (hence why this dude really isn’t even trying) since we didn’t think he would happily sit on his lap anyway. It was a wise decision because Eli has never clung tighter to Charles more than when he was about to be placed on Santa’s lap. I really didn’t want the screaming kid picture, so a family picture will do.

On Christmas Eve we went to a coworker’s house for dinner and presents. Eli got some pretty cool trucks! On Christmas day Eli gave us the gift of sleeping in until almost 10am (!!) We spent the day opening gifts and lounging around (Charles and I even stayed in our around the house clothes all day). Eli really loved opening his gifts, and of course playing with them. We spent several hours opening gifts because Eli liked to play or put on everything that he opened! At least it showed that he appreciated every single thing that the family sent him.

Here he is kissing an ornament; which was his way of getting around the “no touching” rule. Not that he followed that rule anyway. Next year we will not be putting any breakable ornaments on the tree, except for maybe at the very top. We will not be taking our chances when we have TWO boys in the house. Lesson learned! We already stocked up on felt ornaments to use next year (yay after Christmas clearance).
