This year Josh really 'got' Christmas... though most things were about Santa. We had Santa trees and Santa hats, and lots of visits to Santas in the shopping centres. We had our annual trip to Myer to see the 'real' Santa. Josh got to ride on the train there, which he loved - of course!Christmas morning Josh woke up to a lounge room full of Thomas train tracks. Santa spent a lot of time setting up the track so Josh could play with it as soon as he woke up. You should have seen his eyes pop out of his head when he opened the door!
He got the Round House (where all the trains live) and the turntable so they can go in and out of the house. There is also the gold mine, the fire station, a road crossing and signals. The trains he added to his collection were James (which makes sounds and has lights), Diesel, Bill and Ben, Gold Mine Thomas and Christmas Thomas, Gold Mine Salty and Gold Mine trucks.
It was a struggle to get Josh to look in his Christmas stocking, or to look at his present from us (Elmo Knows your Name).
Christmas lunch was at our house followed by dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Josh had lots of fun playing with Sam's toys and helping him to open his presents. He got more trains, a playdoh table and accessories, Buzz Lightyear jocks and singlet, Thomas card game and nursery rhyme CDs. The boys also got money which we put toward renewing our zoo membership.
We also took trips on Boxing Day and the day after that to visit the Great Grandparents. Josh is so lucky to have four great grandparents who adore him. He got to help dig holes (or should that be fill holes!) and play in the dirt at Ballarat, and had fun running around outside and eating cake at Greensborough.
The tree has been taken down, the lights have been put away and Josh has finally stopped singing Christmas carols!
PS. The middle photo is of Josh covered in stickers from the bonbons!
