I won't give a blow-by-blow, but here are some of the better pictures of Isaac opening and playing with his presents. Every year watching him open presents gets better and better. This
year was definitely the BEST! He loved everything that was under the tree and made amazed, surprised, wow faces each time he opened something new. The Fantasticar and all the Fantastic Four action
figures and the Silver Surfer were a huge hit, as were Transformers, Connectagons and Jack and Annie books.
We didn't get too many pictures, but here are a couple of good ones. At the top you see Isaac giving bunny ears to his awesome Aunt Lorrie and Uncle Brian--he looks mighty pleased with himself. Brian and Lorrie are rockin' awesome! Above you can see Isaac with his cousins (Back row: Ashly, Samantha and Stephanie. Front row: Sarah, Isaac and Daisy). I am always amazed by the intelligence, courtesy and spunk of all these beautiful girls. Isaac is lucky to be the youngest of such a great bunch, I am happy to have him hang out with them and learn how to play with his cousins. The kids sang us Christmas carols, read us The Night Before Christmas, and were incredible with their little cousin. Going to Phoenix Christmas Eve is one of my favorite Christmas traditions!
As with every year, Paul, Isaac and I went to pick out our Christmas tree together. Isaac spotted this perfect tree and we all agreed it was just the one to bring home. Now, how Isaac ended up decorating the tree as a Caped Trojan Darth Vader Warrior, I'm not quite sure. But, it spices up what otherwise would only be the same-ol' same-ol' Christmas tree decorating pictures. Below you see Paul holding Isaac up to put the star tree topper on the the tree.
And of course there is the end result, our perfect little Christmas tree!
Lately, Isaac has shown some interest in "Army guys." Luckily, Paul was fascinated with them as a child and became an official "Army guy" as adult, therefore providing Isaac with a perfect information source. Here, in his camo jammies, Isaac gives a proper salute.
