Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas! We had a fun day today! Robbie was up on the earlier side of normal (6:15), but I figure that's sleeping in on Christmas. After Robbie had breakfast we opened presents. I love that Robbie was more into opening his presents compared to just a couple of months ago when we opened his birthday presents. We weren't in a hurry, but Robbie went through the gifts pretty quickly. He has enjoyed playing with them today (as well as gifts that he has already opened from Grandma and Abuelo and Grandpa and GiGi). Matthew and I gave Robbie a ride on fire truck and Robbie has had fun pushing it around.

We went to church this morning. There wasn't any child care, so Robbie sat with us. We sat in the back and several other families with young kids had the same idea. We brought plenty of Puffs and Cheerios to keep Robbie's mouth full. :) I like to say that he agreed with the pastor a couple of times. Toward the end of the service a few of the kids started talking to each other. It was really cute. I'd say that Robbie did well overall, but next week he'll be back in the nursery!

We had a light lunch because we had a big dinner planned. Matthew cooked a ham, made REAL mashed potatoes (that's a big deal considering our mashed potatoes usually come from a box), corn and rolls. We also had a bottle of sparkling grape juice. It was all very good.

Robbie Skyped with Patrick, Mariruth, Caitlin and Will, and with Nana later. We let him play a little while longer before getting him ready for bed. He was so tired he could hardly keep his eyes open while we put his pj's on him. Robbie gave both Matthew and me good night kisses! It was my first kiss from him, though I think Matt has already gotten a few. Best Christmas present ever!!
