Jaggar's Christmas

Jaggar started waking up right as Sage was unwrapping Go Go, which couldn't have been any more perfect. It was his turn to see what Santa brought him. I actually went upstairs to get him, but he wanted Daddy as soon as he saw him. So we switched kid/camera, and I snapped the pictures. I was so pleasantly surprised with Jaggar's reactions. He was genuinely excited, and I think that shows in the pictures despite the fact that he was under the weather.

On the way in....

Aww, look at that smile!
STRAIGHT to Go Go, of course. :)
Those magnets were his favorite. We couldn't get him to put them down to open presents.
But with that smile, who cares?
Checking out the train table....and getting ready to take the track apart. I've reassembled it many times. Shocking, I know.
Sing-a-ma-jig. These things are really funny if you haven't seen them. Sage got a pink one, and they harmonize with each other.
And he's done. :)
Back to the magnets.
This picture is so funny to me. Okay, for MONTHS, when we were out and Jaggar saw pillow pets, he would shriek and point to them. He'd throw himself on them if he was walking. So he finally gets one on Christmas morning, and that's his reaction. And THAT reaction was after we forced him to look at it. It was like he'd never seen it before. It was NO magnet. Kids are so awesome, aren't they?
Water blocks, which I feel sure will be used as a weapon in the near future.
Love that face. That's when he realized that he had a drum.
Annnd back to the train table. :) He kept trying to put his gifts on it. He's taking one of his new crochet mallets/hammer to it here.
Beating the drum.
He got a dog too. His dog talks, walks, lights up and sings.


Look at that sweet face. You can really see how much fun that he had.
We had a few gifts for the kids from us, and I was surprised at how much Jaggar liked this "snow" book. He backed up and sat right in my lap for me to read it to him. As someone who used to read for hours on end (novels in a day), I'm so thrilled that Jaggar is finally letting me read to him.


Then he remembered his cars from Christmas Eve.
This boy scored well too. Both of my kids were good this year. :)
And the aftermath....I started getting a little overwhelmed by this later, but who cares? It was their day to play, and they had a LOT to play with.
