After we went sledding on Christmas Eve, we went to my parents to celebrate Kai's very first Christmas. (Grandpa, Tutu, Grandma Great and Grandpa Great for Kai). We started early (around 3:30pm) so that Kai would be awake for the presents. It worked out perfect because we put Kai down for a nap (after the long day of sledding, he conked out!) and we got to eat a nice quiet meal as grownups! I didn't have to pick up puffs or pieces of bread off the floor and I didn't have to worry about chasing Kai's mouth with a spoon and airplane noises. He woke up towards the end of dinner but Grandpa and Tutu was happy to hold him while we finished our meals. As expected, Kai was still too young to really understand the concept of gifts and presents but he did enjoyed climbing on other people's presents (specifically large boxes). "Grandpa" was a trooper and tried to show Kai the way, but Kai still went back to his normal favorites...1) Gerber's Star Puffs 2)Stairs! Jason went up and down the stairs with Kai to keep him entertained. Jason and I figured that Kai wouldn't "get" Christmas this year, so we gave him some silly gifts like magazines (for him to rip up), Diaper Boxes (for him to climb on), and Kleenex (for him to pull and rip). Thank goodness for Grandparents, Aunties, and Uncles or Kai's Christmas would have been very deprived. These are pictures of Kai & Tutu, Kai climbing on the presents, Grandpa helping Kai open presents, Kai eating his puffs, Kai climbing stairs, and some of Kai's presents: 1. Kleenex (from Mommy and Daddy) 2. Church Clothes (from Tutu and Grandpa) 3. Walker/Car (from Tutu and Grandpa) 4. Singing Dog (from Aunty Jan). Maybe next year Kai will figure out that there's more fun inside all the boxes and wrapping paper!
