We had a wonderful Christmas this year and were quite busy celebrating with family! December 23rd found us at Craig and Lisa's house for Christmas with Eric's parents, siblings and their families. It was so fun to be together and everyone had a great time. 
As you can see he still enjoys his tool bench!
What a joy and blessing to have family to celebrate Christmas! Annie, Julie, Lisa, Peg, and Becky created a feast beyond delicious! We missed Dolores, who was not able to be with us. 
The nieces had quite a time together just laughing away on the couch!
Christmas Eve was spent at Gordon and Dolores's house. Uncle Gordon loved having the little ones. Simon is now interacting with Jessica; he walked up to her and hugged her until she was tackled! He also sought out Chloe for the first time and could not stop chasing her, never quite catching her.
After Gordon's, we headed to the 11:00 p.m. service; Becky rang bells and Eric ushered. Simon proceeded to sleep in his stroller in the usher closet for the entire service!
And then he was done!
Uncle Gordon gave Simon a great big gift that caused alot of excitement for such a little guy. As you can see, he enjoyed opening his toolbench! And then he sat down and found the battery operated drill. Even Nathaniel appreciated the drill for the brief moment Simon shared it! Simon did not set the drill down the rest of the evening!

Christmas morning was very exciting for us at 4 West Adams Street. Simon discovered the biggest present under the tree, and is anyone surprised that it was for him? He could not open it fast enough. And once it was open, he did not leave the kitchen alone. He barely took a break to open his other presents!
And then he was done!

These pictures are great. Love your blog. Makes us feel closer to you. Cindy
Great photos! Has he let go of the drill yet or does he sleep with it?? Leaving Orlando tonight, see you soon. Happy New Year! Bryan
Simon lets go of the drill only to play with his kitchen. Sleeping and eating are lower on his preferred activity list. He sleeps sans drill!
He pretends to give us beverages from his toy pitcher. After pretending to give Becky juice, milk, coffee, and water, he attempted to pour real water into her mouth. After a brief investigation, the water was discovered to come from the toilet. Toilet water anyone? Proudly served by Simon!
Becky and Eric
It looks like you had a great Christmas with family.
Great Pictures also. You can tell he is a happy and
smart little guy -especially the water part. These times are to be remembered with joy. Grandma
