Merry Christmas Morning! Alan and I actually had to wake AJ up (after I woke Alan up!) on Christmas morning! Maybe growing up with 4 sisters trained me to be up and ready to go at 5am - I let them sleep until almost 7...maybe closer to 6.
Any of my girlfriends know 
that if you spend the night at our house I do not like being up alone in the mornings - don't you miss those days Trisha and Helena!!

I am not sure where he got the sudden need for them but I will 
assure you that they do not exist in Columbia - or didn't the week before Christmas - I was even one of those crazies who went to the mall at 7 am and still nothing. Sooo after a trip to the fabric store - we put AJ to bed and made Thomas pillows and pillow cases. Which changed the mood of Christmas a bit - instead of ripping into his toys like 
Alan and I were so anxious for him to do he started to get a little bit lazy!! He lay on those pillows and asked for 'another present please' and that is how he opened the next several presents. He finally woke up though and from that point until now whenever he is awake he is scooting through the tunnel his Aunt Kate and Uncle Gwen gave him.

The rest of the day was just as fun - Alan's mom and her husband came over in the morning. Scott and Deanna came over for lunch and brought the very treasured remote control firetruck. When Alan relinquishes the remote AJ gets so escited - it actually squirts water out of the ladder - Jager and Gozzlin do not find it as amusing as the three of us! We went to dinner at Pat and Jim's with Trish and Shane and Tom. More fun - lots of love! Definetly a wonderful Christmas!
