Christmas #1

Sunday, (Dec 23rd), we spent time at my Dad's house, and exchanged gifts with him and my sister Kelly and her husband Brian.

This was the boys' first taste of Christmas gift giving frenzy this year, and both responded in the exact manner we suspected.

Ben was (in this order): surprised --> captivated --> crazy --> bored --> crazy.

Xavier was (in this order): unsure --> unhappy --> screaming --> laughing (after musical intervention).


Here's Xavier in his 'happy mode' of the morning, modeling my new scarf from Kelly.



Brian, Kelly, Bennett, me, Nick and Xavier.
Bennett = captivated mode
Xavier = entrenched in unhappy mode - rapidly approaching screaming mode.
