This Eli in his Sunday Christmas best. Thanks to Grama B Eli had this stylish argile sweater vest. So handsome! Christmas was very relaxing and easy this year. We stayed home and just enjoyed the cozy fire. It snowed here so we even had a White Christmas, which I guess hasn't happened in 60 years. Growing up in NH..this was such a great Christmas present. Sunday we went to church. My dad came on Monday night and stayed for a few days.
Sunday Morning
Christmas Eve
Jeff and Eli are looking under the couch for a ball. It just so funny when they are both looking under the couch. After Eli went to bed we stayed up late and drank hot coco and put together Eli's kitchen set.

Big Boy BedEli had his first night sleep in a big boy bed. We've had the bed for a few weeks now, but this past weekend I got this bedding at Ikea so I thought we'd try it out. The first night he didn't want to sleep in it, but the second night he did. And this is what he did. He woke up at 1 am and came to our door. I put him in bed with me but he was too fidgety. I thought "ok...now what do I do...do I put him back into his bed?..do I put him in his crib?" I wondered if this was going to be more work then I hoped for. But then it occurred to me that he probably needed to go potty. So I took him and then put him back in his bed. I had to go back in a few time to tell him not to get out...(watching on the video monitor I could see every move). Then on the third time he just stood up in his bed and didn't get out. I waited..he cried for a total of 3 minutes...then he hunkered down and I didn't hear from him again until 7 am. I took him potty right when he woke up and he had a dry diaper. Ok that was Christmas eve. Then last night I put him to bed and he went right sleep (cried for a few minutes..but then laid down) and I didn't hear from him till he woke up at 7:15, came into our room all by himself, with his blue blanket's and crawled into bed with us and snuggled for a half an hour. It was the best. Neither of us had to get up to get him...he really is a big boy now. He was so happy too when he woke up. I said to Jeff that I thought he was proud of himself for coming in all by himself.
Christmas Morning
He sat with daddy for the first 5 minutes or so. We had to put the kitchen set in the middle of the living room for him to realize it was even there.
