let the festivities begin! after ledge got his new pajamas on (which he loved), then its time to dig into the overflowing mound of gifts! we took our time, letting him open each gift individually and taking a few minutes to play with each thing as he got it. his excitement with each new gift was a real joy to watch- as a father I really understand the sentiment how its better to give than to receive. its such a delight to see that little toothless grin on his face as he marvels at each one of the gifts he opens.
we made sure to get ledger involved in gift giving this year as well, both diana and I took him out to find gifts for each of us. its good for him to understand that he's not the only one who gets gifts, and allow him to feel some of that joy in giving as well. diana and I got each other a few things as well, so everyone was enjoying some new things Christmas morning.
ledge spent the rest of the day playing with a toy for a little while, then moving over to one of his other toys. he jumped back and forth all day having a great time. we had insisted with our extended families that we did not want to have any plans for Christmas day, which we were very thankful for. we didn't have anywhere to go, so we were able to just have a wonderfully relaxing day with just our family!
