So how did Christmas go? In general, pretty good. He did have one present under the tree and I have to say it was the best possible present for him...a set of 3 balls. His big bouncy ball had just popped, so that went over fabulously. He got a couple of singing cards which he walked around with throughout the holiday, a couple of beautiful hats my co-worker made for him and these slippers from Mark and Sally which he is quite fond of. When he first got them, he wanted to walk around naked except the slippers for some time! And mom brought over a rocking horse a few weeks before that was great for pics.
I will say that the one thing I missed about having gifts at Christmas is the structure they offer around the day...when you have a tree full of gifts, you set a time to all sit around and open those gifts. It's a nice chunk of time with the TV off and the carols on...we'll have to figure that one out because minus that, it went along smashingly and we had a great payoff when we all went to Maui the next week! Before we went to Maui though, we had a fun time with Gid's family doing New Year's. Joaquin liked playing Rock Band in particular!
