Christmas 2012

We had a wonderful Christmas morning at the Porcaro house!  I was just so excited for Cash to get up and see all the presents under the tree...and wouldn't you know, that little boy slept til 9 am!  In his defense, he played really hard on Christmas Eve at our friend's, the Laurine's, and wouldn't even slow down to eat dinner.  I was awake at 8am, biting at the bit and waiting for Cash to wake up!  It was so nice to get to just enjoy our morning and let Cash take his time opening his gifts.  He did a great job this year and was really into tearing off the paper and even though it took well into the evening to get everything opened, he was loving it!  Here are some pictures of our Christmas morning!

Cash went came out of his room and went right to the big gift in the Sesame Street paper...he wasn't shy about starting to tear the paper off at all!

He just kept grabbing all the Sesame wrapped gifts

"This one next, momma!"

Tearing off the paper like a champ

Checking out his new Ernie learning pad

Too cute!

And of course, he loved playing with all the wrapping paper

Trying to figure out his new Story Reader from Papa Gordie and Gabby

The Story Reader reads the books aloud to him...he thinks it's pretty cool!

Jeff couldn't get this Elmo out of the package quick enough!  Thank you Papa David and Grandma Sandy! You can also see the "hit gift" of the day in the background...his riding pirate ship from Grandma Sue and Rich!

We had a wonderful, lazy day in our pjs and all enjoyed a nap that afternoon.  The rest of the day was spent playing with all the new toys and talking to our family up north.  The only way our day could have been any better was if we could have shared it with our parents and siblings.  The holidays are hard when you can't share them with your loved ones, but Jeff and I are making our own traditions that we hope Cash will always remember and look upon with fond memories as an adult.  We hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones and know that we send many wishes for a happy and healthy New Year to you all!
