Santa Remembered :)

Santa remembered that I requested he come on Christmas Eve morning instead of Christmas Day morning! Because mommy, daddy & I are leaving for Missouri to see Grandma & Grandpa Chinn on Christmas Day morning, I wanted him to bring my gifts early so I could have an ENTIRE day to enjoy my stuff before we had to head East.

I'm not really sure who this Santa guy is but he is amazing. He's one heck of a guy! How could he possibly know all the things I wanted/liked and then have his Elves build them in his workshop to bring to me? However it happens and whoever this Santa guy & his Elves are, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I mean....Santa knew the stuff that I wanted/like and not even my mom & dad knew that apparently! All they got me were cups with straws; socks with grips on the bottom & a reversible fleece jacket. Nothing fun like what the big man himself brought me! He brought me a Cars themed couch that flips out into a bed; a Cars themed chair; a remote controlled Cadillac Escalade; an Aquadoodle; a big Cat dump truck that makes noises and goes forward & backward and a couple little Cat machinery toys (a steamroller & a little dump truck). In my stocking Santa left a tube of mini M&M's (or num-nums); a Slinky Jr.; a pair of dinosaur slippers (when you walk the eyes light up red, super cool); a mini See'n'Say that is Sesame Street themed (and has Elmo's voice-yahoo) and a Dr. Suess set of flashcards that teach you how to learn your colors! Overall Christmas at mommy and daddy's house was a fun one! It did take us awhile to get through the gifts because after I opened each one, I had to pause the unwrapping to play with that particular gift for a few minutes before I was ready to move on!

Unwrapping my Cat steamroller. I had to pause while I was unwrapping it so I could push the buttons on the side to see what they do....they make awesome noises!

This may be my favorite thing that Santa brought me. I've recently discovered I like to draw things (maybe because daddy lets me take dry erase markers and draw on the kitchen floors; appliances and walls)! So Santa brought me an Aquadoodle. It is super neat....it comes with this fold out pad and a pen that you fill with water and it writes on the pad and nothing else! It's like magic!

Unwrapping presents is all fun and games until someone gets a bow on their butt! Unwrapping presents was great at first and then it literally got to be a "bow in the butt!"

"Let's see, what's next?" Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie!

This is my new Cars chair for my toy room. I usually sit in my bouncy seat from when I was a tiny baby, but I've really outgrown it so Santa thought it was time for me to have some furniture in my size for my toy room! Boy is he a bright guy!

"Don't you just LOVE it?" Christmas is so much fun! Even though I do not understand Santa Claus, I still had a blast waking up Christmas morning and feeding off mommy and daddy's excitement and then actually seeing what their excitement was all about. I ran across the living room, straight to my gifts (some wrapped and some not) and literally dug right in. Mommy and daddy thought it was fantastic that I seemed to know just what to do! I love all my gifts and I thank Santa and Mom & Dad for all the wonderful "big boy" toys and the socks and jacket!

This is me unwrapping my Aquadoodle! So fun! Mom and dad had a great time watching me unwrap my gifts and play with them this morning.

Hope this finds everyone well today! Today, my parents and I will be heading out to go East. Yep, we are going to go to Missouri to celebrate Christmas with my Grandma and Grandpa Chinn and also with my Grubb family! I'm so excited that this gift thing; good food thing and good company thing isn't over yet. And that we get to spend an extended amount of time at Grandpa and Grandma Chinn's! Yippee! This does not happen very often! As of Christmas Eve we are on vacation. Mommy is off for the next ELEVEN days. And we are going to spend it together as our little family and also with Missouri family and friends and with the Kansas/Nebraska bunch too! After we do Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Chinn and spend a few days there, we are headed to North Newton to do the Gardner family Christmas at Todd, Rhonda, Matthew, Abigail, Jacob and Levi's house (they are my aunt, uncle & cousins). So this will be a fun and eventful next few days! Hopefully the weather isn't too bad over Eastern Kansas when we get in that part of the country tomorrow! Wish us safe travels and we hope the same for anyone else traveling tomorrow! Good night!
