Santa comes to Hendersonville!

With the travel that we have scheduled over Christmas, we decided to ask Santa if he would mind coming to our house a little early this year.  We are flying to Pennsylvania and didn't want to have to worry about taking our gifts on the plane, and we thought Santa may enjoy lessening his load on Christmas eve!

So....last night...Santa came!  We woke up, made a pot of coffee, and woke up our sweet Nashman.  He's too young to really "get" it obviously, but we had fun anyway!  We of course took the obligatory pictures and video...he was much more interested in ripping the paper off so he could eat it, versus ripping the paper off to get to the toys. 

The loot:  a set of alphabet blocks, stacking/nesting boxes, Melissa and Doug shape sorter, the classic stackable rings, pajamas, a puzzle, and a toy that shoots balls into the air (it may have a real name - I'm just not sure what it is!). The toy that shoots the balls was defnitely his favorite, and he caught on right away.  Of course it's his favorite - it's the loudest!  :)

So, even though it wasn't Christmas eve....it was the perfect little Christmas celebration with just the three of us.  I remember this time last year so vividly - envisioning what our Christmas activities would be like with a little one around.  This.....was a perfect start.  Merry Christmas love bug!

The barricades are gone!  I can finally get to the tree!

How do I get this paper off so I can get it in my mouth?
