Christmas 2011

This was our first Christmas with two children and Jace wasn't even a month yet, so he slept most of the day. However, Drew enjoyed it to the fullest. It was the first year he really grasped it. We heard so many times "when hohoho coming"? Of course that lead to a lot of jokes between Damien and our close friend Gary.

Drew loved seeing the lights, eating Christmas treats, pointing out all the wreaths on our walks, smelling Christmas trees, checking out the ornaments, helping wrap gifts and of course opening gifts. It really made the Christmas holidays magical.

Drew decided that he wanted a blue car from Santa so when Jace was two weeks old. Damien, Jace and I went to Toys R Us. The store was packed, the shelves were pretty empty but Santa was determined. We found a big drivable blue car and a few other things. The hardest part of the night was NOT finding the gift, feeding Jace in the car or being tired. It was finding room to fit the car in Damiens Mazda. So Damien took the box apart, and threw the car and all the pieces into the trunk. We still need a bigger car.

It was all worth it to see Drews face light up on Christmas morning!
