After Andrew's nap, Uncle John, Aunt, Sharon, Peter, Kathryn, and Sharon's dad, Joe arrived at Nonna's house. Immediately, the kids wanted to open presents and have Andrew open theirs. They are so sweet to him. He loved his garbage truck that they gave him and played with it for a good while.
Peter and Kathryn also had fun with their gifts. We got Peter a Bakugan video game with which he immediately proceeded to head to Nonna's room to play. We gave Kathryn a Snow White doll set and she immediately wanted James and me to play with her as the Prince...and definitely not as Snow White! Ha! But Andrew and Kathryn played a lot together. She is just so good with him.
Afterwards, we headed over to Aunt Janine's house as the Gonzaleses were hosting Christmas dinner. Andrew had fun with Stephanie, Thomas, and Bandit of course. As we waited for the final preparations for dinner were being made, the kids all played together. Then, dinner was served and was fantastic! The turkey was so freaking moist!! Compliments to the chefs! Andrew ate mostly ham and mashed potatoes. He did try some turkey and sweet potato casserole too. He ate a good amount, but didn't a crazy amount, which I suspect is because he just wanted to go play.
After dinner, we opened presents. Yet again, Andrew had a wonderful time opening gifts. It's just too much fun watching him go at them! I am just in awe of my little boy who is growing up too fast. I can't believe he's been around for two Christmases already!! It's such a difference than from last year. This holiday season with Andrew has been so great. I can't wait for so many more in the future!
Thanks to everyone for a terrific day! Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope yours was as wonderful as ours!
