Merry Christmas!!

Well, Santa came on the 27th when we returned from Brian Head!! I took Cameron upstairs so everyone could set up the presents. When I brought Cameron down he was all excited about the bouncy horse Santa had brought. He walked towards it with his hand out and looked at it in awe. It makes noises so he was all interested and wanted us to put him on it. Of course his little legs are too short so we have to hold him on it...might be a while unless he hits a really big growth spurt.

This was the first time Cameron really started to understand how to open presents and showed some interest...at least for the first few. He would rip off a piece of the wrapping paper and then look inside to see what was in it.

About halfway through he sat in a pile of his presents and played with a new outfit by putting it (and wrapping paper) on his head. He loved that everyone watched and laughed at him. We made the mistake of leaving his popcorn popper (little push toy) unwrapped and out in plain sight because he kept trying to go for that instead of finishing his unwrapping. He also seemed pretty taken with a roaring dinosaur flashlight from Grandma Beth...probably because it made noise and was one of the earlier things he opened. It was a bit distracting.

Once we got everything opened up, we started taking it out of the boxes so he could play.

Here he is hugging his new dog...when we really get this one working I'm sure he'll be taken with it because it can learn to say his name.

This picture is just for Norm. We opened the box and he ripped it out and it went right to his mouth. He seemed a little upset as to why it was empty...we thought maybe you should've put some milk in it for him. ;-)

Cameron loves removing the candy canes from the tree and eating them...and getting them all over everything!! Part of the reason we left a baby gate up around the tree so he couldn't get to them unless we got it down.

Grandma & Grandpa Graham got him this puppet dog that barks songs when you move his mouth. He was so exhausted that he fell asleep on it. Apparently there was just too much Christmas excitement!
