We have had a great three day weekend celebrating Christmas with my parents and brother. They got here on Saturday morning and Will quickly walked them through the nuances of train operations. We gave Will another set of tracks and trains for Christmas, so now his table is even busier!
Grandpa Roger's giant balloons were a huge hit. After the red one got popped, an orange one replaced it.
After playing hard all day, we let Will open one present before bed. He chose a present from Uncle Ryan: a matchbox car and stickers! The car went to bed with Will. The adults stayed up and continued our pool tournament.
Look at this special surprise waiting under the tree on Christmas morning! It was greeted with a "Whoa!" and many smiles. We opened up presents and then enjoyed a delicious brunch!
The grand finale gift was from Daddy: Will's first set of golf clubs! He's been playing with our clubs this past year - mostly my lefty clubs - and clearly demonstrated that he is left-handed, so we could finally buy him his own.
Here he is giving a putting demonstration. Looks like he's used to using a belly putter and will have to redo his grip with the smaller clubs.
Super excited about the tractor! He scooped up his blankets and cup and dumped them out (and repeat).
The afternoon was seasonably cold, so Will bundled up and took Grandma and Grandpa on a bike ride. They hadn't seen him ride his bike before this trip.
On Christmas night we used our new ping pong paddles and balls (gift from Ryan) to have a playoff. Ryan also made up a batch of his famous egg nog. Delicious! A very fun (and filling) weekend was had by all!
