This year I decided to make cookies for "Santa" since Alexander is now keenly aware of Santa and the milk and cookies concept. I attempted several times to tell him about Jesus and while he did say Happy Birthday Jesus each night during his prayers, he went into his own rendition of baby Jesus when I said his mom's name was Mary. He began a story about eating salsa and chips with Aunt Mary and Uncle Rick, I assume since we had eaten Mexican with them on the 23rd. HAHAHA. Very entertaining to Jesus I'm sure! Christmas was so overwhelming for Alexander he didn't even open all of his gifts before he fell fast asleep! I had to open the last few while he took a nap. LOL! We had a ton of gifts...only because there were 9 of us all together yesterday and LOTS of food. Alexander's favorite gift by far is his new guitar. He hasn't put it down since yesterday. Thanks to "Santa Lori" for that FREE gift. Such a blessing! He got a lot of music items like drums, a Fisher Price DJ toy, and a xylophone. (he's playing the guitar as I type)
We're fighting colds but ramping up for a week off of work and Karate and a three day trip to Chicago to get away from Indy. Can't wait!
(In case you're wondering...that is my sister in feety pajamas, Cha Chi is wearing actual sweat pants, and my mom has Smurf pajama pants on...these are the traditions that we don't openly discuss - YIKES)
