Okay okay, so it IS the most wonderful time of the year afterall...

Merry [belated] Christmas to everyone. We had a great day, Tyler was absolutely loving every minute of it. Of course, it was probably a bit much in retrospect. We started opening presents at 8:30 and finished at 5:30 (not counting the ones that arrived today in the mail...) No, I didn't get those times backwards, we really spent most of the day opening presents, it was fun. I made Tyler a train table, and Gail and Paul supplied a lot of the tracks and accessories for him. We set it up in the back room with some chairs blocking his view... it was our attempt at getting him to open most of the presents before just gluing himself to the trains... but it didn't last long when he opened a new train and immediately wanted to go put it on the tracks... he ran into the chairs and was like "what the!?"... so we opened it up and he slowly walked over to the table, as if to say, "is this really here? where did this come from... Ah... who cares, let's play!". It was all over after that... not very interested in leaving it, not too interested in what else there was to open, but we eventually convinced him that there was more neat stuff to unwrap... then he got back into it. It was fun. Thanks everyone for everything, and we hope you all had a great day as well!
