Christmas 2010

WARNING COLLASSAL POST

Although this post is very long I think you all should know that I whittled 70 pictures down to these 24

PART I

Christmas morning started bright and early at 7am since that is when Matthew wakes up. He was our gift sherpa this year.

He was very interested in everyone's gifts and wanted to help rip paper all over the place.

I got this weird long skinny gift from Mum and Dad and could not for the life of me figure out what it was.

HOLY CRAP it's a Norwex Mop!!!! OMG YAY (ten years ago I would never have thought I would utter those words.)

Matthew was equally excited.

Look Nana and Papa got some cool stuff too!

Hey there's that cutie again with lint brush that came for him in the mop box.

Daddy got a cool jacket.

And near the end Matthew got stuck in the pile of wrapping.

PART II

After a nap, Matthew got changed into his new Christmas Jim Jams and started round two of presents. There was more than one round because we way overestimated his attention span this year.

Daddy brought in the easel from Grandpa Rick and Grandma Ida. He's only a little excited.

Daddy helped him get started.

BIG smile

Enjoying the crayons (we are still working on not eating them)

Grandma Joyce got him this great bean bag chair.

It's a little tough to get out of though...

PART III & IV

After yet another nap, he changed into his snazzy Christmas sweater and turtle neck and read books with Grandma Joyce.

Aaron and Uncle Brian were wearing their caps and Matthew had to be one of the boys.

Yes this is the best picture of the three of them I could get.

Matthew came back a few minutes later with his hat turned around like Uncle Brian.

After dinner and a bath, we have our fourth outfit for the day. Puppy jammies and a housecoat from Grandma Joyce.

Even though its been a long day he is still moving so fast I can't get a still picture on him in his robe. Oh wait...

I think we've finally hit the wall.
