Christmas Eve

Daddy was at work when Declan got up this morning.  Mommy was there and Gramma was too.  Had to work today so the little guy had a Gramma visit from 7:45am until Daddy got home at 10:40am.  Reports from Gramma say that Declan was a dear all morning.  He was bouncing on his butt and waving an arm to music and there were a few rounds of drop the monkey all to Gramma's enjoyment.

Then Daddy and Declan spent most of the day together.  Declan was great but Daddy was sick but he powered through best he could until I got home from work at 6:30pm. Earlier Daddy was trying to put together a new toy we're giving Declan for Christmas and the little man was curious about what Daddy was doing.  This is the only time he'll be able to do that since next Christmas Declan will certainly be aware of what's going on.

Just a half hour before bed we opened our Christmas Eve gifts, Declan's first Christmas gift.  Wouldn't you know it...what you joke about came true.  Declan was more interested in the box his gift (stripped sleeper) came in than the gift itself.  So cute though, he really liked that box.

8pm Declan was easily off to bed.  Went down with smiles for Mommy and Daddy.  We kissed him goodnight and told him Santa would be visiting in the night.  We finished wrapping our gifts and placed them, along with our stockings under the tree.
