You can see the excitement because the living room had been turned into a Thomas wonderland, complete with a new big train table from Santa, with parts like the Tidmouth sheds (the big engine roundhouse).
Vake was thrilled.
And cheerfully played with his train table for about two hours until Anne, Mom, Mary Frances, Lety and Dennis came over!!!!
That's one thing that I thought was so interesting about Christmas this year- Vake wanted to open and play with everything- he was so (no pun intended) present- had NO idea that there were additional presents waiting for him that he needed to open.
Everything was play worthy- right at the minute that it was opened.
He liked opening his stocking (likely one of the six made by Mary Sabra the Machine).
And we all got all kinds of good treats!!!!!
The other huge hit was the bicycle helmet and the bike- he LOVED them- Eric brought the bike up from the basement as Vake's final present (it was from Grandmary) and I thought Vake was going to lose his mind!!!! You also will notice that at this stage of the game, he's insisted on changing into the Thomas pajamas provided to him by Lety. Obsessed.
He loved the helmet so much that he basically wore it all day and then wore it to Christmas Dinner- I know, Mom's a sucker.
And here's the pile of wrapping- it is Eric's family's tradition to put it all into the center of the room until the unwrapping is over and it makes me crazy!!!
Here's Vake sitting on the new bike- you would not believe how well he is already riding it- I will have to post pictures!
My big boy- he grew up so fast!!!!
And then we had dinner. We worked on trying to get a picture of the cousins wearing their matching outfits, but this is as close as we got- we'll have to try again at Vake's birthday.
This is probably the best one- I need to red-eye correct but cannot do it until the computer gets fixed.
And then we tried the photo session this way...look at how confused everyone now is!
And here's how we all felt by the time Erico's delicious dinner was done- it was almost too much!!!!
