Today was definitely a Christmas to remember!!
We started out the morning by the phone ringing and Mary (Eddie's birth mother) calling and singing "Merry Christmas" at 7 AM. William was barely beginning to stir. He realized after that what today was and that Santa came last night so to the living room we went.
He was very excited to see that Santa had eaten the snack that he had left for him and his reindeer had snacked on the reindeer food that he had left them. He then dove right into opening his presents!! He was soooo excited this year. It was so much fun.
Not long after we finished opening presents, my sister came over to spend the morning with us. My parents came not long after and we all had fun watching William playing with his new toys. We also broke in the Wii and played several games of bowling and tennis. William also took his Nen, Mamaw, and Papaw upstairs as unsuspecting victims to his air hockey antics. We laughed very hard!!!
The afternoon found us at my parents' house with my brother and eating seafood gumbo. It was sooo yummy!!! We opened more presents and then rested. We ate all afternoon and enjoyed visiting and relaxing.
This evening we are now back home enjoying the Wii and listening to William play with all of his new Cars toys. Yes, he is still into Cars and it looks like Lightning McQueen exploded in my living room, but he is soooo happy.
I will leave you with a quote from William and the hope that your day was also filled with good times and laughter.
"Mamma, I love my Christmas presents. Christmas is AWESOME!!!"

AWWWW I love what William said. Christmas is awesome for children. We had our family Christmas yesterday and we had 7 children with the oldest being Jason's girlfriend's twin boy and girl at 6. We had a wonderful time. We light candles in memory of our lost one's in our family's and then we read the story of the birth of Christ from the Bible, and then we read the book of the "Littlest Angel". We have done that since our son died 30 years ago. Well my older brother decided to not read the Littlest Angel this year. His grandchild was raising cane and said that was all she had ever known and she wanted her son in the circle to hear the story and then the older kids did the same thing. They didn't want us to break the tradition. Well needless to say we read the story. That turned out to be the best Christmas ever. Just know we love you very much and are so proud to call you all FRIENDS.
Earl, Carolyn & Jason Nelson
