December 26th 2010

Christmas came and went, but we had a blast!!

December 24th, we went for dinner with your grand-parents Proulx, it was so much fun as you just love seeing them, you always run towards then for your hugs and kisses. It is so sweet to see. We stayed at the restaurant for good hour and a half and you were so good, you were having fun with the waitress and putting stickers on her hand and she was just smiling away as I think you made her night everyone was looking at you and smiling.

As soon as we got home and put you to bed, your father and I got all the gifts ready and set up the train to go around the Christmas tree, we had so much fun, we had Christmas music in the background. Just the joy your father and I had, I just could not wait for you to wake up!

December 25th was our day!! you woke up at around 6:00am and your father brought you to the basement so you could drink your milk and slowly wake up. I came down shortly after and you were playing with your train, so I asked you if you wanted to come upstairs as Santa Clause came when you were sleeping, you looked at me and said NO, it was so funny, then your dad kind of coached you to come up, we just laughed.

You came up the stairs and realized that Santa Claude did come, and even thou there was about 10 gifts around the Xmas tree, you saw the train! You were so excited, you looked at me and said; le Pere Noel ma donner un train Maman, as you really, really wanted a train for Xmas. You were so excited. Your father showed you how to turn it on and off with the music. Oh boy, you were so mesmerise by it that you just did not care about the other gifts that were waiting for you! We told you that Santa Clause brought you other gifts too. So you finally stop the train and we started to give you your Xmas gifts. You got: puzzles, a Buzz Light year, building blocks, a music bear, PJ's, a puzzle book of Caillou, Walkies-Talkies of Elmo, a Jack in the box with Elmo etc... you kept saying encore un cadeau. But as much as you were enjoying opening your gifts you enjoyed distributing the ones for your father and I. And you were also glad to help us open them too.

By 8:00am we were all done, you were playing with your new toys, your father and I were cleaning up and we all had such a wonderful smile. It was just amazing seeing Xmas through your eyes Alexandre.

Then we went to see your Aunt Leona and Aunt Pauline to give them there Xmas gift and let me just say that we made there Xmas as much as they made ours that morning. They had a nice gift waiting for you, your very first Fisher Price Digital Camera, you just love it! and she had sticker books for you too. They love spoiling you! then you gave out our gifts to them too and once again you helped them open it. They were just smiling of joy! We all were. Then Leona took out some of her music Xmas decoration. You sat on the floor and just loved to press the on button and dance to the music. You are such a ham!

We got home at around 11:30am so you could relax and have a little nap as we were expected at Uncle Luc's and Aunt Sandra for 3:00, we got there at around 3:30 and your cousins were so happy to see you, Mark, Isabelle, Mathew and Victoria. They all came running to you when we arrived, and within minutes you were in the basement playing with them. They found you so funny and cute. You were having a blast with them.

Mamie arrived shortly after and then Tante Nathalie, Oncle Pat, Julian and Paolo. You were happy to see everyone. Then, guess what! Santa Clause came himself to distribute the gifts. You were so happy, you went into his arms right away and you were so proud! Santa stayed till all the gifts were distributed then he had to leave to go and see the other children and to distribute there gifts too. You gave him a hug and a kiss and off he went.

We got home at around 10:00pm which is very late for you, but you were fine, still going strong with all the new toys you received from Santa Clause; trains for your train set, Elmo Play dough, a Fisher Price car parking toy, a huge elephant that you just adored. You were saying on the way home; encore des cadeaux. So I explained to you that Santa Clause is now home, in the North Pole and that he needs to relax as he will only be coming next year. You were listening to me attentively, and you were repeating the same thing; Le Pere Noel est parti a la maison. Then withing minutes you were sound asleep in the car.

Today, being December 26th, we are all so tired. We did a few errands this morning and by noon we were home. We gave you lunch then your milk and next thing we knew, you were feel asleep, and you slept for over 2 hours. I guess you needed it

What a great Christmas this was!

Merry Christmas Alexandre. I just love you
