Merry Christmas to all of our friends and Family - What a wonderful year we have had!
Pictures to be posted later....
Bennett had a blast opening each present that Santa left him this morning, first his stocking. To every present he replies out loud..."I LOVE IT, ITS JUST WHAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED." From the first sighting of the Spiderman toothbrush in the stocking to the finale - Marble Maze (the only thing he REALLY he has ALWAYS wanted!)
We had a blast playing with all of out new toys and games (Bennett won us fair and square at Candyland - but I swear it was beginners luck.)
The best part of the day may have been when Bennett picks up an orange from his stocking and passionately declares how much he LOVES ORANGES and after a minute of contemplation looks right at Steve in pure awe and says..."Santa can make oranges too?" Like Santa himself might be cooler than any of his new found superhero friends, which are many!
Sorry to report that we did tell him the truth, Santa probably grew them on a tree. I don't think he can actually make them himself.
Our day concluded with a very sick child throwing up all over the house.
The Cause may be:
A) Santa can't make oranges himself - the pure realization.
B) His meals the last two days have consisted of candy canes, chocolate coins, string cheese, hot dogs, cookies, an occasional orange, and nerds.
C) He may have contracted a stomach virus when he went crazy licking our friends shoes the other night. Steve used this as a learning moment by telling him that this is why we don't put our mouths on dirty things - he might listen now!
Overall a fun filled day! And we are looking forward to another tomorrow as we welcome Elizabeth Jean Wright into our family, making us a family of 4(my favorite number)!
Merry Christmas.

I am so excited about your baby girl coming today I guess... it also sounds like you had a fun Christmas... very cute! Good luck with your induction. I look forward to some pictures.
We used a similar experience to teach Liam the importance of washing his hands after he uses the toilet. If you don't wash them every time, then you're going to have Dia... It's worked pretty well.
Let me know when I can bring you dinner and see that new baby. I'm really sure what a newborn baby girl looks like:) Congrats!
Just noticed it says Nate poulson, but it's not it's me...
