Christmas Eve morning Jeremy went hunting so Hunter and I hung at home doing our own thing and gearing up for the afternoon. Hunter didn't eat much for breakfast, seemed kinda off and had some icky diapers. I was thinking that maybe he was teething since he hasn't gotten a new tooth since September. (still only 4 on top and 2 on bottom) He went down for his nap really well and continue to sleep for 3 hours until we woke him. At this point I was thinking well maybe he just doesn't feel that well...but still probably teeth. We got Hunter dressed and loaded up the car and headed over to my parents house to celebrate with my family. Hunter was really shy when we got to the house but it didn't take him too long to warm up and start playing with his cousins.
We had our usual Pine and Bamboo dinner but added a few new traditions. My mom and dad made up a Christmas Trivia game. I was skeptical at first but it was pretty fun. Malinda ended up winning. Jeremy seems to think she cheated:-) Another tradition that by brother Andy started was having everyone bring a poem to read. Again, skeptical but it turned out really well. It was fun to hear what poems everyone picked. Hunter and Bow went in on a poem together and told a story of a boy and his dog.
Present time was crazy. There were so many gifts
for everyone. Hunter enjoyed stepping on the packages. (he really
likes to purposely step on things so he had a great time with a floor covered
with presents) One of the presents he took to right away was his Brown
Bear Book. He took it to Uncle Jeremy and Donnie and sat on their laps to
look at it. By time all the presents were opened, it was passed Hunter’s bedtime
and you could tell the little buddy was getting tired. Uncle Andy walked
him around for a little bit and cooled him off with a washcloth and Hunter’s
second wind took effect. He continued to play for a little while longer
with his cousins while Jeremy loaded up the car with all the gifts.
We put Hunter’s jammies on him before we left in case
he would fall asleep in the car. We got home and the little boy was awake
so we read The Night Before Christmas and then he was ready to sleep.
