This year Ajax really grasped onto the idea of Christmas. Of course, what little kid wouldn’t latch onto such a concept, lol.
Christmas Eve my parents, Grandma Flo, Aunt Lynda, Aunt Liz, and cousins, Mike and Ryan, all came over to our home for dinner. We had a ton of excellent food and it was wonderful having everyone over and being with family. Ajax was of course in heaven having so many people over and pulled each one into his room to show off his toys and such.
Christmas morning in our house began at 6:15 am when Ajax declared that we should all get up. He was so excited coming into the living room and seeing the presents under the tree. He was just as excited to tear into each and every gift as well. He also helped Dave and I open our gifts, which was fine. Dave made us our traditional huge breakfast while we watched Cars 1, Cars 2, and then Toy Story.
Around 4 pm we loaded up and headed over to my cousin Tina’s house for Christmas dinner (which is my dad’s side of the family). There Ajax had three other little cousins to play with all around his age (ages 4 – 2). To say he had a fun time would be an understatement. That child did not sit still for more than two minutes. And I had to bribe him with a candy cane during those two minutes while I tried to shove a few bites of pasta into him for dinner. We didn’t leave till almost 10 pm, the latest I think Ajax has been up in a long long time. He talked all the way home and then requested the Beach Boys.
