Christmas 2009

Well, we've travelled to SC for a day...to GA for 2 days, but in different cities, and now we are home!!! William was such a trooper in the car compared to last year...scroll to Dec 2008- he cried almost the entire trip... Of course endless baby Einstein and Elmo videos helped that a lot! We did stumble upon a great little rests top on 24 by Lake Nickajack- it has a great "pet walk" or "let your kid run free by this fence and look at ducks on the lake so they/you can relax" section- Perfect!!! William had fun seeing everyone and playing with his cousins. He really didn't nap or eat well, but we survived and I am happy to say we will start the Perry Trio Christmas tradition next year at our own house- can't wait!!!! This year he got a cool Radio Flyer trike with a handle for us to push him with...but he's been riding it since November (found it more than 1/2 off at Toys R Us and it was already put togther- someone bought it and returned it- score) And the other gift was a set of 4 cabinets in his room- kid sized and just his height. Thanks Chad- he loves them. Open, close, open, close.

I tell you- having a handy husband is so nice..... next year Santa will really stop by and see us, this year it was all about the boxes! I just want to see his face when Santa comes and make our own family traditions. Listen to him say Santa.....

Too precious, right? We had to tape it. I know it'll sound different next year. He did start saying "More Tanta" and "More tickle" this weekend....he just wants you to find as many pictures of Santa as possible to point them out so he can say "hey Tanta" He is becoming such a little boy playing with trucks and leggos...it's adorable. One more week of vacation and then it's back to school for me and WDP. I'm so excited for him to have some little friends his age and learn to share :-) ...and a few more days to get some stuff made...lots of new babies mean lots of sewing for me!

Lastly, we stopped in Atl to see our friends Emily and William and their daughter wanted to have a dance party and WDP joined in.

I think he takes after me...that is how I met Chad after all :-)
