We had a great Christmas Eve. We ate a ton of pig products and pie. Wm really enjoyed the Christmas Eve service at church - and, for the big finale, the power actually went out at the exact moment we were lighting the candles to sing Silent Night!! I think that's the first thunderstorm warning we've ever had on Christmas Eve! It was nearly 60 degrees! Then Mimi and Guy came back here after church to eat some pie - and we got to open presents from Uncle Drew and Aunt Jess. Wm loved his flickering Medieval torch! Wm went to bed and fell asleep after only a little bit of excitement insomnia. Then Steve and I wrapped presents while we watched Love Actually. And then I crashed hard.
Wm is such a weirdo. He sleeps like a log. For yet another year, Steve and I were up and waiting for him in bed when he finally woke up and came in. Then, just teasing, I said, "hey, let's snuggle for a while before we open presents." Wm goes, "OK!" Unbelievable!! Of course, I told him we could go right down and open presents...

| Stocking goodies! Schroeder supervising. |
For The Big Opening, I had to video tape it. And Wm's excitement has only grown exponentially as it sunk it exactly what he got!
After we sat around eating warm cinnamon rolls, Wm was taking his plate into the kitchen and grabbed Steve's and took it in as well. When Steve thanked him, he goes, "It's Christmas!!!" He is one happy little man!
There is much more Christmas excitement to come, so I will update as things progress!!
