Merry Christmas!!!

As he does every morning, Collin crawled down the stairs to get some breakfast. This morning, he was WAY distracted by the NEW BICYCLE he saw once he was downstairs. He did not care that he was hungry. He was way too interested in the new bike in his house. He crawled over to it and said "ooooohhhhh" as he pointed to the shiny padding and the reflectors on the bike. Daddy put him on the bike and he had the biggest smile. I pushed him around and he loved it. He completely forgot how hungry he was until I pushed him a little to close to the kitchen. He saw his milk waiting for him and started to cry for it. The fun bike time was over for now.
After breakfast of healthy cinnamon rolls and blueberry waffles, Collin opened one of his many presents. We thought it would be fun for him to be able to open one every few hours today instead of all at once. The first present he opened was a six-sided Curiosity Cube. He had fun looking at all of the different sides and exploring what each side would do.

Daddy then put mommy's gift together which is an art table for Collin and I to hopefully spend many hours on coloring, drawing, painting and other fun activities. Here we are checking it out. Right now, Collin likes to crawl and sit on top of the table. He did sit on the seat a few times and helped mommy read the mail. Mommy then showed him the different colors. He was focused on pulling the cups out of the holes and throwing them. Every time mommy put the chalk or crayons back in the cups, Collin would take them back out. It was part of the game, right?

All of the bicycle riding and crayon throwing made Collin tired. He sat on his daddy's lap and was quickly ready for a nap....which turned into over a 3 hour nap!!! We were not expecting that.
