Christmas Morning

We got to be home at our beautiful house this Christmas and spend Christmas morning as a family. Logan slept until 7:45 then I nursed him and then we were ready to open gifts. Santa brought Logan a shape sorter barn, a cell phone, keys, and his favorite a rubber ducky! Mommy and Daddy got Logan a swimming pool for next summer.... although we might blow it up and let him scoot around in it in the basement. Daddy also got Logan a Mercer Mayer book called, "Me and My Dad". They've been reading it for about a week already, though!

Everytime we picked up the camera to get a picture of one of Logan's presents, he picked up the duck. So pretty much every picture involves the .99 duck.

Greg got me lots of gifts and they were all so thoughtful. He's been listening very well when I talked about things I needed. I could tell he spent a lot of time shopping... not his favorite hobby... and it meant a lot to me.

I got Greg a gun case and a lock. More for my peace of mind. I also got him a splitting wedge. Why? Because that's what he wanted!! Logan got Greg a bucket. Greg loves buckets. I even got 2 more free ones for him on the hwy on Christmas morning... that's the Higgins family for you. We're a little crazy!

Logan and Greg played together while I made our breakfast.

After we opened presents we ate Christmas coffee cake. It's my mom's recipe but I made it from scratch and by myself this year!!! We also had scrambled eggs.. made like my Grandma Bradley used to make them... with piece of sausage mixed in. It brought back memories of mornings in the farm house in Mountain View! I got the trait of taking pictures of the food from my dad. He ALWAYS takes pictures of food :) (Logan had Oatmeal and Applesauce. He has to wait until next Christmas for Coffee cake and eggs.)

Logan then took his bath. He's been in his baby tub for so long but finally seems to have outgrown it. We gave him his bath in the big tub. He got to use his new rubber ducky. He loves the water and could splash so much better in the big tub... and not get mommy as soaked.

Logan took his morning nap and then got up and watched the Yule Log on TV while he played with Daddy. Logan LOVES fires. He likes to sit and watch the fire in the woodstove at Grandpa's house. He also loves music, so the singing Yule Log was a good choice for him.
