Last year (2008) was, technically, Beniah's 1st Christmas, but this year actually felt like his 1st Christmas. He was very interested in the Christmas lights and would literally demand that they be turned on the minute he was taken upstairs to eat his breakfast. Beniah would go to every Christmas decoration that lit up and would say, "ight!" and blow on it (yes, we taught him to blow on lights to turn them on) until we turned on the decoration.
Beniah had a ton of fun playing with his cousins during Christmas.
Tim had a ton of fun teaching Beniah and Jeshu to juggle.
I had a ton of fun dressing my son up in his suit. Beniah didn't seem to appreciate it though.
Watching Beniah unwrap presents was another delight of ours. When we celebrated with my family, Beniah was very diligent in unwrapping his gifts, until he got to the large lego set from Grandpa and Grandma, then he wanted nothing else to do with gift opening.
At the Whittaker celebration, he just opened the apple (only part of a gift from Auntie Jo) and wandered around eating the apple for the rest of the gift opening.
Beniah and his Whittaker cousins all received Chinese kung-fu outfits from their Auntie Jo.
Sad, but true gifts that Tim received.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a happy New Year (it still counts if you say it in January).
