This was the greatest Christmas ever for our family! Having Sam here with us to share such a special day was a wonderful gift. Our son is a sleepy head so by 8am (and after 2 cups of coffee) Craig and I decided to wake up our little man so we could start the festivities...we just couldn't wait any longer! I think Gus was the most excited this Christmas...I have no idea how, but he knew exacly which presents were his! Instead of letting Craig and I help him open his gifts, he used his paws to open them all - even Sam was entertained by it! Sam really enjoyed opening his gifts too! After he opened each present, he played with the bow and wrapping paper first and then explored his new toy. He seemed to like his new laugh and learn table and his lion walker the most! They both light up, sing, and make lots of noise :-) We weren't sure what he would think of the lion walker but he took off with it immediately! He holds onto the handle in the back and pushes it forward...shouldn't be long before he's walking all by himself!
After we finished opening all of our presents, we ate Craig's most favorite breakfast...cinnamon rolls and mimosas! Grandma Jane was nice enough to share her cinnamon roll recipe with me so I decided to attempt it all by myself...and I was shocked (Craig too!) when they came out almost as good as Grandma Janes :-)
We played with our new presents the rest of the day and had a yummy Christmas dinner together. It was a quiet Christmas but very memorable! I know that we will always remember our 1st Christmas with Sam in Fort Riley, KS.
