Grace is getting so big, at this point she was very nearly walking, but not quite. She is the most intense yet happy baby I've ever known. You can't help but smile and laugh right along with her.
Will is so sweet and careful with Grace; her mommy is always on guard to make sure she is careful with Will which should be the other way around, but don't put it past her to grab a chunk of his shirt and pull him around!
Present opening wasn't that interesting to Will this year. Of course the boxes and sacks were a hit, but I did get him to pay attention a few times and help.
Grace on the other hand was front and center for all the help you needed. Really Will was more interested in her gifts and she his.
Will is now more stocked in the garage department than his father. He got a chainsaw, tool bench, tool box w/ tons of tools, a tape measure and a power washer to clean the cars. (and it actually works w/ a hose)
Then Chrismtas morning Will got to see what Santa brought him. He wasn't having it though, guess it was to early for our enthusiasm, we had to be taken down a peg or two. Can't wait for him to get excited with us; Santa's a HUGE deal!!! Oh and the dinosaur rocker freaked him out! He got a picnic table too, but the massive snow Christmas Eve didn't allow me to pick it up from the office. Thank HEAVEN he's not old enough to know something is missing! WHEW!
Then Christmas morning after presents at our house, we spent the day with my parents. Oh, before I go on, I failed to mention in all this that our house is officially equivalent to Toys R Us. Will enjoyed carrying around everyones presents by the bows. Again, not that interested in opening any.
He did throw a hissy when this gift was opened and it had to set up immediately. It's one of those deals you drop a ball in and it winds its way to the bottom. Big Hit!!!
Then Grandpa and Daddy put together his shopping cart which he now enjoys using to unload kitchen drawers and take over to the trash and throw the stuff away. Yeah, time to lock up the kitchen! Anyway, Will helped when he could; you know taking parts they needed and placing them somewhere else.
Then after the presents were opened and all his gifts were put together he got to go out in the snow for the first time. He wasn't really sure about it mainly because it made him fall down and because he hates wearing the stuff he has on, but we gave it a try anyway.
That was our wonderful Christmas Holiday. My mom and I got a stomach bug Christmas Eve so we were both down for the count and didn't get to enjoy the yummy delicious food for the season. No fun being sick on Christmas! Other than that minor glitch, it was a great end of 2009. We hope everyone had a blessed holiday too.
