As my Mommy is typing, she is picking the cobwebs off of "Easton Talk". It has been way too long since an update. To my Mommy's defense, she has had a lot going on....no, really she has - you can even ask Daddy....he'll tell you too!So, to the topic of discussion...I just celebrated my very first Christmas! Wow, what a special moment it was! My parents and I celebrated it at home. Mommy and Daddy had tried to prepare me for what kind of day it was going to be, but until you live in the moment - you have no idea! It all started when I woke up around 7am. Mommy and Daddy quickly ran into my room to scoop me up. Daddy carried me into the living room where our Christmas tree was, while Mommy filmed. As I turned the corner with Daddy, all I could see was presents everywhere!! One of the first items I noticed was a wooden train set that Santa had left on top of a wooden toy chest! I immediately grabbed the train and tasted it to ensure it was going to be a keeper! I loved to rip the wrapping paper and stick it straight into my mouth...forget all the cool things that were under the paper - the paper was cool enough for me!
My Uncle Forrest and Nonna Belcher came in for Christmas. They bought me these really neat ride-on toys. I have got my parents to push me all around the house. The one ride-on in particular that my Nonna bought has been a life saver for my parents...as there are some nights that I am very stubborn and don't want to fall asleep, so my Mommy and Daddy push me around the house until I fall asleep. Yes, I am spoiled, but as Mommy tells Daddy, "Children are only little once"....case made.
After the holidays, I was lucky enough to catch up with my Papaw Belcher and Great Grandma. My Uncle Forrest got my Papaw a puppy, Grizz, for Christmas - it was great to see his reaction to, "You're getting a Dog, Dad - Merry Christmas"! My Papaw spoiled me lots too - he bought me my first hobby horse; I enjoy going "bouncy bouncy" on it. For New Years, my Nanna and Poppa Holt came in from Ohio - what a treat! Guess what they bought me?? My very first red wagon....I have already convinced my parents to wheel me around the house in it and I even asked if Marley could ride with me and she did...only for about 10 seconds!
My first Christmas was so spectacular! I'll never forget rounding the corner and seeing a beautiful lit Christmas tree with what seemed like endless presents underneath. I'll also never forget these things that looked like socks hanging up - I had my very own "sock" - it was filled with all kinds of good stuff including my favorite snack, puffs, and my very first pair of Nike tennis shoes. I hope that each of you had a wonderful Christmas! I can't believe the year has come and gone. More importantly, I can't believe that I will be 1 year old on March 11. Don't say that too loud or you'll see tears in Mommy's eyes...maybe Daddy's too....
