It’s here! Christmas Vacation, Part I

(I know, I’m ridiculous)

 

Colton was REALLY excited to be back in California again. He recognized the house and ran around like a little puppy dog who recognizes an old scent he loves. It was precious to see. Dad (aka Gramps) showed him around outside so he could see the lights on the house. That become one of C’s favorite things, to drive up to the house at night and get to see the lights, or go to the window and look out and see them. We bundled him up sometimes and took him outside just to look at them for a while. My mom has a chair on the porch and they would sit and just watch them.

The Grands were especially excited to give him his first presents right away after we arrived. There were just a few big presents they wanted him to have at the beginning of the trip so he could spend the whole visit playing with them, instead of just the last few days after Christmas. When they put the first one in front of him the look on his face was hysterical. He was in shock from the dozens of snowmen who were suddenly on the paper in front of him. He LOOOVES snowmen. We had a big giant blowup one on our block that we would pass every single day to and from the apartment. We’d stop and say hi to it, give it high-fives, and practice saying it’s name, Snowman.

So he recognized them looking up at him immediately. This picture is pretty blurry, but I just love the stunned and confused look on his face.

We helped get a corner of the paper started and as soon as he ripped the first piece, he was so pleased with himself and the result of it in his hand. 

I have several dozen pictures documenting this and just as many different facial expressions I captured of him, but I’ll save you that onlymamacanlovethat stuff and just go ahead and jump to the opened gift. Again, stunned at what suddenly appeared before him (we let him dump the box once it was opened).

100 balls for a ball pit! He took a while to warm up to it, but he eventually got the hang of it.

The other big item had him captivated.

And so did the box…

(he LOVED his slide though)
