We had a wonderful Christmas this year: Dutch and Chris both got spoiled, spoiled, spoiled. This was a notable year for me because it's the first time I've cared more about what others were getting. Yes, at 27 I finally realized the joy of giving and not receiving.
Christmas was an all-day event, as it always is with the Davis family. We woke up around 8:30 and Dutch got his stocking. He got two new small Tonka trucks and a pull-along toy. Then we got dressed and headed over to Greg and Kellie's for breakfast.
Dutch's 3 big presents at Greg and Kellie's were: a shopping cart with some fake food (from Mama and Daddy), a huge steel Tonka dump truck (from Uncle Zakky), and a Black and Decker Junior tool set, complete with drills and the requisite safety goggles (from Grandpa Greg). He received a few other little things that he loved, but those were his three big ones.
Then we moved on to Grandpa Morgan's house for more presents and lunch. Aunt Kim bought Dutch an awesome Toy Story 3 phone, and Great-Grandpa Bob (through Grandma Kellie) bought him a Buzz Lightyear, by far the biggest hit of the day.
Then it was over to Grandma and Grandpa Davis's for even more presents and dinner. Dutch received a couple of books and some Duplo and was pretty much done after this.
We went back to Greg and Kellie's at about 6:30 and Dutch was out for the night. Besides a brief period where we woke him up to put on pajamas, he slept until 8:30 the next morning! Poor little guy got all worn out!
He had a great day and really got into the spirit of helping everyone open their gifts. There were a few minor tantrums, but no major meltdowns to speak of. It was a wonderful day and so much fun to see Dutch's immense joy at every single gift he opened. They were all greeted with "Wow!" (some even before they were unwrapped).
Pictures coming tomorrow.
