Christmas Morning 2009

This year, we bought James the DVD of The Polar Express. He fell in LOVE with this movie and I kid you not, watched it every day, sometimes more than once a day for WEEKS! The premise of the movie is the kids that are of the age where they are questioning Santa's existence, ride the Polar Express to the North Pole to meet Santa. And the TRUE believers can hear Santa's sleigh bells, if you dont believe, you cant hear them. James was infatuated with the bell that the main little boy in the story ended up getting from Santa to take back home with him......so luckily, Santa "found out" that James wanted a bell of his very own......

Well guess what? Christmas morning, i was downstairs just in time to hear Santa's sleigh bells up on our roof as he was leaving our house...and I ran up to wake James and Daddy...and told James Santa left him something special downstairs........yup, you guessed it! His very own bell from Santa's sleigh! So this first picture below is of James picking up his bell from Santa near the chimney where Santa left it for him...he was thrilled!!!

Star Wars Legos....are you sensing the trend, that the boy is TOTALLY into Star Wars right now? He ended up with a new comforter for his bed too and a big ole star wars logo for his walls, glow in the dark stars and solar system for the other wall....his room ROCKS now, its awesome!

Loving his pillow pet from Auntie Berta....he falls asleep with this every night!
