We like to take our time with opening gifts, usually we do them one at a time and then take time to enjoy the gift before we move on. Sometimes that means opening up the box and putting something together so he can play with it for a little while. He gets caught up in playing with his newest toy- until he realizes there are a bunch more to open!
Diana always yells at me because I always get him too many gifts. I guess it's because I grew up the youngest of three. When we were growing up the gifts filled up the spot under the tree, sometimes even overflowing out onto the floor. If we got him a normal amount of gifts the pile under the tree would look too empty for me! Sure, there's usually a lot of filler, the kind of stuff you get at the dollar store or Five Below, but it makes it full, which is the point, right?
Ledger's obsession this year is the game Among Us. He's been wanting to play it for months but we told him he couldn't. For Christmas we downloaded the game on his padpad and let him play! Along with that came a stuffed character from the game and a bunch of Among Us toys too. As you can see, he was very pleased!
After all the gifts were open, about 3-4 hours after we started, it was time to let him play and let us take a nap! We didn't get too much sleeping time before he snuck in and snuggled with us and raved about his awesome gifts. Another successful Christmas!
