Santa has been very pleased with Holden's behavior (sleeping through the night scores major points!), so he had many presents awaiting him. It took quite a bit of time to unwrap everything. Nathan and I would basically start unwrapping the present and Holden would rip a piece off and then examine it very carefully and very intently. The same discretion was given to tissue paper.

We eventually got all the boxes opened and in the end, it looked more like Melissa & Doug visited us instead of Santa.
My parents and brother came over later that day for Christmas dinner. Nathan made a delicious beef tenderloin stuffed with mushrooms and gorgonzola, and I made the traditional side dishes. It took a long time to prepare and only a few minutes to devour!
After a very exciting day, it was hard to put Holden to bed, but eventually he drifted off to sleep as we read to him about the real meaning behind Christmas. I cannot wait until he truly understands what the birth of our Savior means.
