Our "tradition" (tradition, meaning we've now done this for the second year in a row. Remember, this is Christmas with the Jews after all. We don't know what we're doing.) is to open stockings on Christmas eve. Here is Noah opening up presents from his stocking. This particular gift was some big boy underpants, assuming he ever fains interest in the potty. I'm beginning to think the kid will be in diapers as a teenager.
Notice Audrey eyeing the wrapping paper. She loves to eat plastic and/or paper products (strange cat). This means that we are unable to put presents under the tree until Christmas morning because she will eat through the wrapping paper if given the chance.
And, here is our tree Christmas morning pre-present unwrapping.
The first present Noah opened was this Good Night Moon matching game. Seriously, he had to show it to everyone, he was so excited. I think we could have stopped there.
But we didn't. Noah really enjoyed opening up the presents, so we let him unwrap every one, including the gifts for the adults.
Here is another big hit. Noah loved this big truck that Aunt Sue got him.
By far my favorite present of Noah's are these Automoblox cars. Santa got him one and Aunt Sue got him a second one. They are wooden cars with rubber wheels, but they are so cool. You can take them apart and reassemble them with mixed up pieces once you have multiple cars.
Noah was enjoying playing the Good Night Moon matching game with Grandmoo, but then he decided it was even more fun to just play with Grandmoo.
And, far more fun to ride Grandmoo.
Another Christmas highlight for Noah was getting to eat homemade whipped cream and strawberries. The rest of us had homemade strawberry pie, but Noah's a purist, and would rather have the berries themselves.
