This year I have everything I've wanted. Christmas is more hectic, but so well worth it.
We woke up this morning and and told him it was Christmas (he's only 8 months he doesn't know the difference). We were all excited so he started to get excited. I turned the tree on and grabbed the camera, Joel brought Tesfa into the living room to see his toys. Santa brought him a playset with a slide and swing. Santa got it for a great deal on craigslist. He also got The 12 days of Christmas by Rachel Isadora. Its a great book- set in Africa. There were a few other toys and a childs picnic table (also and a craigslist steal!) too.
Did he care about his gifts? No, not really. He wanted to eat the paper and then settled on eating a shoe. No matter. He will see pictures one day of his first Christmas and hopefully he'll know how excited we are to spend it with him.
