Thus, we decided to give and receive family gifts on Christmas Eve. This is in part, an attempt to allow all of our attentions and devotions to be on Christ on Christmas day. So on Christmas Eve morning Elijah woke up and was so excited about the wonderful gifts that were given to him- not that they were deserved, but that because we have been richly blessed by God with him and with so much, we want to bless him as well with these gifts expressing our love for him.
Waking up and walking into see his car garage. He really loved it. His favorite thing is to press all the buttons that make little car noises. After realizing what this toy was, he ran to his bedroom, pulled out all of his cars, and with arms full carried them back into the living room to play with them in the garage. It was precious.
Elijah also got a little talking phone from MawMaw (David's grandmother) which was quite possibly his favorite gift of the morning. He had played with this toy at a friend's home so I knew he would love it. He has been "talking" on the phone non-stop since Christmas day and especially loves all the sounds the animals make!
Elijah also got a little barn that makes animal noises. This is definitely another thing that he just loves. He loves animals, singing "Old McDonald", and tractors so this toy was right up his alley.
Elijah also got a little chair of his very own. He spends a lot of time in this chair just sitting and looking at books which is really sweet.
