This is the first year that Tyler finally understands more or less what Christmas is. He went to see Santa to ask for Megatron, we baked cookies for Santa, went to cut down the tree, decorated the tree, and had people over for Christmas Eve.
On the eve, we left a plate of cookies and a glass of milk out for Santa. On Christmas morning, the first thing Tyler asked was, "How come Santa did eat ALL the cookies?" I believe we left a bunch, about 6 or so. And daddy was quick to tell him that he eats cookies at all the different houses and that he probably just wasn't very hungry. Not sure if Tyler understood that reasoning, but he dropped it after that.
Ahh present opening ... now that he can recognize his name, he was able to pick out his gifts from under the tree. Only asking us who they were from. He FINALLY ripped open the gifts really fast and threw the trash on the floor. Not like last year where he was anal and needed to throw trash in the garage as he ripped it, lol. Surprisingly he was okay with opening all the gifts first before stopping to play with them along the way. He was even helpful enough to want to open Emily's gifts for a while. But she got mostly clothes, which quickly bored him.
He opened all of his transformers first and mommy made him set aside his other toys for later. The plan is to open them once the transformers start to get "boring", lol. That way the excitement of the toys will hopefully last longer.
Mommy got the Cricut Imagine from daddy along with diamond stud earrings from Tiffany's (the later was a complete surprise). Daddy got his sound bar for the TV and a gift card to the iFLY (indoor flying simulation). Hoku got treats and a few new plush toys.
We hung around the house for most of the day. Headed to dinner at the Murakami's in the evening for Korean Chicken, left over prime rib and some crispy panned fried noodles. :) Uncle Shaun got some new games, which him and daddy played.
