Christmas Day 2011

Clay and I had been looking forward to Christmas Day for several weeks. Last year Bryson was somewhat excited, but didn't know what it all meant. Now that he is 2 1/2 and he'd been talking about it more and more, we knew this day would be so magical for him as well as us. Christmas through the eyes of your child brings such a smile to your face. Watching them experience the magic and the joy this season brings makes my heart overjoyed!


I got home from work right before 8am and Bryson was still in the bed asleep. So I went ahead and started on breakfast and looked at everything Santa had brought. :) I think Bryson was a good boy this year!

This year Clay and I decided not to exchange any gifts. But I did sneak him a Christmas card that might have had an iTunes gift card in it. Even though we didn't buy gifts this year I thought it would be nice to give him his card before we woke Bryson up. Maybe this will be another tradition we can start; exchanging gifts right before the kids wake up.

Clay went in and woke Bryson up and told him that Santa had come to visit. I was sitting in the living room with the camera ready listening to Bryson tell daddy that he didn't want to come out and "No Santa!" I think he thought Santa might be waiting on him outside his bedroom.


Here he is seeing his gifts for the first time!


He was really excited about all of his presents. One by one he would show Clay and I want he had gotten.


Bryson and Daddy


Out of all his toys, Mr. Potato Head was the BIG hit! I would have never guessed the cheapest toy would turn out to be his favorite. He hasn't put it down since Sunday.


Mommy and Bryson (sorry the pic is blurry, it's the best one I could get).

I stayed up til about 10:30am then I had to get some rest. I'd been up for over 24 hours and it was beginning to take a toll on me. So this was the first year I was going to miss out on Christmas at Clay's dad's house. Clay was sweet enough to take the camera and get some pictures of Bryson opening his gifts.


Clay said he was so excited about "opening" the presents. Both Bryson and Owen got Buzz Light Year Power-Quads. Nana cleaned out a spot in the kitchen so they could ride them around the house.


OMG!!! This was what Nana and Pawpaw got mommy for Christmas. Y'all I was uber excited when I woke up and opened this up! I cannot wait for the boys to see this next Christmas.


After a looooong day with NO nap, Bryson crashed in our bed and got to sleep with daddy while mommy went back to work for her last night.

I hope each and every one of you had a Very Merry Christmas!
