Keaton was such a hoot this Christmas! We had a fabulous celebration that started the Eve before Christmas Eve with Christmas dinner (since Aunt Kiki had to leave the afternoon of Christmas Day) and then Uncle Dodo's Holiday/Housewarming party. We spent that night at Ed and Donna's as well as Christmas Eve. We went to St. Michael's Christmas Eve service (it was packed) and Keaton did such a good job. I told Donna he wouldn't have been so well behaved if we took him to church all the time :) He loved the singing and all of the kids in costume. He still doesn't know what a whisper is so at times he was a little loud asking questions or pointing something out. "Look a cow!" "Where did baby Jesus go?" (that one over and over again). Finally when Mike went up for commumion he pointed baby Jesus out in the nativity scene. After Church we headed back to Ed and Donna's for an easy Christmas Eve dinner. Then we started opening gifts. Keaton loved the idea of this and wanted to help everyone open their presents. Uncle Dodo and Sara even joined us for a bit. After the gifts we checked on the status of Santa Claus and made some cookies for the big fellow. We left the cookies and a note (see photos). Then to bed and up for Christmas morning. It sure was a good time. We feel very blessed to have eachother and our families, our health and the good fortune that we enjoy! Merry Christmas and Best Wishes to all in 2011!!

Leaving the cookies and a note
Walking downstairs Christmas morning
Santa ate the cookies and left a note!! But.....did he leave presents?!
He did!! And a new wagon....which he loves to be pulled in and pretend he's in a parade. Future Lilac Princess?!
A train whistle. He thinks I'm funny...sometimes.
And his favorite gift....Buzz Lightyear. We would ask him before Christmas what Santa was going to bring him. He would say Buzz Lightyear! We would ask and what are you going to do with Buzz? His response..."Push buttons!!" And boy does he ever!!! I wish Santa would have checked if there was a volume control.
Our little Engineer.
And the two BIG Engineers!
