Christmas 2010

Christmas this year was as good as could be as expected. Christmas morning I still felt pretty crummy but I was determined to make it a great day, what with it being Zane's first Christmas. Zane slept in until 7am, which was a bit of Christmas miracle. I let Zach sleep in, which was actually part of Able and I's plan to pull a Godfather and put the rocking horses head in bed with Zach. I put it in his bed at like 7:30am and he didn't roll over and find it for an hour, but when he did it was absolutely hysterical. Zach found it as funny as we did and was upset that he hadn't done it to Able first. After Zach got up we had a delicious breakfast of cream chipped beef on toast, a childhood favorite.

Abbey and her family got to the farm around 10am and then the fun began. Brendan and Maggie came in their jammies, which were absolutely adorable, and they were both excited to see the big horse by the tree. Everyone got amazing gifts and we had lots of fun watching the kids open their gifts. Zane got a music play/activity table which will be perfect for him when he is sitting and then when he starts to cruise around stuff he can stand up by it and play with it as well, thanks Aunt Abbey we love it. We got Zane some soft blocks, a shape sorter, a soft book, pjs, and just some little toys for his stocking.

After gift opening Grandpa Dotter came over for a late lunch. In the afternoon we all just chilled and watched the kids enjoy their new presents. Brendan played his new Mario galaxy game and his new winter Olympic game on the wii, which was highly entertaining. Maggie loved all her new play food and baby dolls. It was great to have time with the kids and time to relax at the farm. All and all Zane had a fantastic first Christmas. It was great to spend this Christmas with family, it was hard without Dad their but we carried on and found joy in the day none the less.
