In preparation for Christmas, we made the trek up into the mountains to take advantage of a neat program here in Colorado where you can go and cut down your own Christmas Tree. Michael loved being all bundled up and carried in the backpack through the mountains in search of the perfect tree. He had lots of opinions of the tree we should get and made sure to point out each of the trees that looked like good candidates. We finally found a perfect tree and even though it looked really small when compared to all the other trees, it fit perfectly in our house.
Michael wasn't too sure about this Santa Clause character and wasn't even willing to sit on his lap. It was very funny since he is very social and loves to go to just about anyone. But the boys had a great time at a special Polar Express Christmas party. Something about wearing their pajamas and going and eating cookies was very fun to them.
Christmas morning was filled with exclamations of delight at all the fun and interesting things that had magically appeared overnight. He wasn't too interested in opening all the presents, he wanted to enjoy each gift. When he opened a present that had toy cars inside a box, he wouldn't let anyone else continue until we had opened the box so he could play with the cars. He just wanted to enjoy each gift before moving on to the next one. It was so special to share this Christmas with him.
