All I can say is it has been ages since I last updated. So much has happened since the last update with Eli's third birthday, I'll just give it a whirl and see how far I get.
Christmas was wonderful. Between spending time with family, seeing my brother, celebrating the holidays, and having extra time off, what more could we have asked for? School went rather long this year, we didn't get out until the Tuesday before Christmas. There wasn't much time for last minute anything! Christmas Eve was spent at our house - my parents and brother came over and we had snacks galore and a pot roast. We were just going to have snacks, but then I felt guilty for not having an actual meal to go with the evening, so we threw a roast in the crockpot. Lets just say there was WAY too much food for our family.
We all stayed up late opening presents and setting up Eli's new train table. He has really gotten into trains lately. Don't read that as he's out of cars and now into trains, but rather he likes them both. Our little man is still addicted to cars, especially if they come from the Disney movie. I swear, he has probably 8 different McQueens...
Here we are around the Christmas tree - well as close to around as we can get.
Papa, Grandma, me, Eli, Jess, Uncle Daryl (Uncle Doozer)
I love his sweet little smile. It wasn't the cheeseball grin we so often get.
He's such a big boy!
Loving the trains! Little did he know what was coming!
I mean really! Look at him. He amazes me every day.
His new train table, clearly pre-assembly.
Uncle Daryl and the notorious train table.
Absolutely engrossed in a Thomas the Train video before going to bed on Christmas Eve.
Christmas morning brought sleeping in (he's not old enough to wake up early yet!) then running downstairs to see if Santa had come, eaten his cookies, shared carrots with the reindeer, and filled our stockings. He had! Eli was very excited to dig through his stocking, but also ours. Santa was pretty generous with Eli, bringing him a few cars, candy, and games. Santa brought some well needed travel coffee mugs, and socks! LOL Santa is all for the necessities, I suppose.
He was so excited that Santa got the Ramone he had asked for. Thanks Santa!
After playing, snacking, and Eli napping, we headed out to my parents house for Christmas dinner and the traditional movie. This year we went with Happy Feet as we thought Eli would like it. We ended up having to take the movie home with us to watch a few times because he enjoyed it so much! My parents had Santa hats out and Eli really liked playing with them.
Our happy little Santa Eli.
