David's Second Christmas

Around 7:30 a.m., Dad was home for about 10 minutes between the fire station & the hospital, so Mom gave David his stocking at that time. Santa brought a jingle bell shaker, some ABC magnets and some jumbo crayons. David soaked 'em in! Then Dad headed off & Mom made blueberry muffins for breakfast.



David ate 2 muffins (minis) and a bowl of Chex. He's still on a Chex kick after the party mix! Then we spread out paper on the kitchen floor to test out the crayons. David got a few scribbles on paper, but had the most fun just playing with the crayons!

Mom fixed pizza and salad for lunch & we packed it and us into the car to go visit Dad at the hospital.


Here are Mom & David in Dad's office. The big map is to mark coordinates for the helicopter. We never got to see the helicopter take off or land while we were visiting, but Dad said they went out once after we left.




Back at home, David played, never took a nap, and Mom got the house clean. You can see in this picture David's new Christmas bruise from hitting his head on the floor while visiting Dad.





Finally, Dad came home & we opened presents! David loves cats as much as Mom & thought this new cat rack was cool! (and so did Mom!!!)

David got a steering wheel! (It also plays ABC's.)

David gave Dad a cross for the wall.

And Tort got some tissue paper.

David also got some clothes, but you can see how exciting they were... he wouldn't even pull them out of the bag!
