Rowan had four Christmas' this year. The first one was at Grandma and Grandpa Hopps' house Dec 17. Rowan enjoyed pulling off all their tree ornaments and wrestling with cousin Adam! Christmas Eve at Aunt Krista and Uncle Harry's house was a blast. This year for the first time, he really understood the concept of gift receiving. After the first couple gifts he was unstoppable. He would grab a couple gifts from under the tree, bring them to me and wait in desperate anticipation for the approval to open. At the end of the night we put all 3 boys in the tub together. What fun! Christmas morning at our house was also very exciting. We had the tree way up out of reach until Christmas Eve. Christmas morning we were so excited, we woke him up! We video taped him climbing down the stairs and the look on his face when he saw the tree, gifts, and stockings. The little Cozy Coupe (car) was a smash hit. I wondered if he would open anything else....but he came around pretty quickly. Christmas morning brunch at Julie and Sean's was delicious as always. Next it was off to Nana and Papa's house for dinner. So many gifts, so little time!
