Cameron and I had agreed that when we had kids of our own we would stay in Illinois to celebrate Christmas as a family and make our own traditions. We kind of started that last year but due to bad planning on our part, we had to leave Christmas afternoon to drop Dane off in Indiana because we flew to Mexico the next morning. So this year will be our first real Christmas celebrating with our little family at home...no plans to go anywhere for the day. Because of this decision, we travelled back to Leesburg to do Christmas with my family last weekend.Dane made out pretty well...got his first "motorized" vehicle - a little John Deere tractor from my mom. Jeff & Christy got him his first tee stand with bat & ball - he loves it and heads straight for that when he wakes in the morning. The Zehrings got him some clothes including a much needed "big brother" shirt...now he has something to wear to the hospital! Dad and Pam got him a big John Deere dump truck and some car movies. He was pretty bored with all his toys so Christmas came at the perfect time and he's getting more on Saturday...we are trying desperately not to raise a spoiled boy but I guess every kiddo is spoiled in some way, right?
The 3 amigos:
Opening Presents:
A standoff over dinner? No, Dane hadn't started bullying yet:
Training with Uncle Jeff:
Aside from trying to keep Dane from hitting, pushing or tackling Presley all weekend (please tell me it's a phase and he'll outgrow this bully thing), the boys were able to have their annual onesie party! This year was pretty slim with the crew...between surgeries, kid's birthdays and sickness - only 4 of them could make it!
