Jaggar's Christmas Morning

Can I just say how overwhelming it is to blog about Christmas? I want to remember EVERY moment, but there are SO many pictures. As I'm looking through Jaggar's day, I'm realizing that Travis must have been more awake at that time because these pictures seem to be more like TRAVIS taking the pictures. Anyway, when Jaggar started crying, I went to get him. He couldn't have cared less that it was Christmas. He wanted his milk and to be rocked for a few minutes. It's how he wakes up. If you try to rush that process, you will be sorry. So I was not going to. We rocked for a few minutes. Then I asked him if he wanted to see what Santa left him? No. Great...okay, well how about we do that anyway?

Hmmm...not so sure about this. And little Sage had already had her turn, so she was SO excited FOR Jaggar. We had to tell her more than once to let him do it because she was trying to open his gifts for him. He's able to do it himself now, and I've got issues with him hitting when he doesn't like something she does, so I was trying to prevent tears AND timeout on Christmas....what can you do?

He decided when he saw all of the loot that he was ready. Check him out as he first comes into the room here.

Here is HIS pile. A TAD overwhelming maybe???

There are SO many pictures. I have the videos in order. SO this is when he first got started. You can watch here. Oh, and let me say that he ONLY wanted to unwrap presents that had Rudolph or Frosty paper. I think you can hear him say something to that effect in this. The snowflake paper was not okay with him. Those were a last resort for him when the desire to unwrap overruled the desire for Frosty and Rudolph.

I realize I'm like overkill with the videos and pictures, but these are for me. SO, click here for more present unwrapping.

He got some kind of ramps with cars. Both kids got so much stuff that they don't even know what all they have yet.

His talking dinosaurs. These are so cute. They talk to each other and sing together.

He loves his Rudolph book, as you saw in the video above with "his shiny nose."

Cute

Okay, and HERE is one of his most favorite gifts right here. I'm so sorry for my terrible singing. You would never believe by these videos that I can actually sing somewhat.

He got all of his Rudolph friend stuffed animals. He has been sleeping with Rudolph and Clarice since we got our stuff down, and I expect that once he can actually process what all he has, he could add these, too.

Look at that sweet face.

Opening more Rudolph toys here.

Trying out his new snow monster chap stick, which I'm almost positive that he ate half of.

Love how he's looking at his toys.

I just realized this and thought it was hysterical. I mentioned we had JULIE, the American girl, SAGE, the fijit friend....and I see this. We also had TRAVIS the turtle. How hilarious is that? We should've gotten Jaggar some kind of Mick Jagger album or the EVER popular Maroon 5's MOVES LIKE JAGGER. I cannot tell you how many people ask me if I've heard that song when they hear me say his name.

Still in awe of her most precious gift

I just can't caption all of these, but I think they're pretty self explanatory.

Oh, he got a talking Yukon Cornelius. He LOVES Yukon.

He got a GUN! :) Just like Ralphie. He went from saying Santa was going to bring him SOAP (NO clue where that one came from, but he said it every time for a LONG time), to SNOW, to a Gun from watching A Christmas Story so much.

Let me just note that both kids enjoy this little Caillou farm, but it was pure assembly hell for me to put it together today. What happened to instructions??? Now it's like 2 pictures.

And here is Jaggar opening his gift from Sage. She was SO excited to give this to him and rightfully so. His reaction is awesome. He pretty much says, "OKAY" to everything, and I think it's so great that's what he says when he opens this. Watch it here.

Look at that face.

She said they were sharing it. :)

Jaggar gave Sage a new dance puzzle, which is 100 pieces that we may be able to build...one day.

If in any of those videos, you heard Sage asking to open more, it's because she knew she had another from us. Here it is.

Back in the summer, she fell in love with this Bible because it had jewels and sequins all over it. Of course, I fell in love with it, too. That's my child. ;)

Happy, sweet girl

Back to the fish tank for him

LOOK at all of that.

Look how he sets up his toys. All day long. In every area of the house. Super cute.

See what I mean? He had to have the Rudolph toys by the tree.

Back to the smurf game for this chick. How cute is she?

PART of the trash. It's also on the other side of the loveseat! Phew! THAT was a blog. I can ALMOST see the light. I've got a few more Christmas posts, so hang on!

****Make sure you click older posts to see Sage's turn if you didn't already. This post was so long that it filled up my entire page!
