Macen wasn't interested in opening his gifts at first but he was beyond excited each time James unwrapped something for him. He made this face each time.
He wasted no time crawling into his dump truck.
He finally got interested in opening a present.
Macen was not a happy camper starting off our trip and then to be completely thrown off schedule with his sleep = not a pretty sight. We had several late nights and Macen didn't adapt well. He was fantastic the 3 times we needed him to be - for both flights and at the game. The other times - steer clear of the toddler. He did have the freedom of running around at the zoo playing with Marti and giving Chris kisses.
We had bought tickets to see the ICE exhibit at the Gaylord Texan Resort and had planned on seeing all the Christmas activities they had going on. There was Mrs. Claus with live reindeer, a life size gingerbread house, etc. We got in line to get to the line to enter the exhibit and Macen was beyond hysterical. I have never seen him so miserable (Misty, he was worse than after the game if you can believe that). Needless to say there was no way we were going to take him into a confined space of 9 degrees with lots of other people. So we decided to leave and wouldn't you know as we are winding thru the resort to get to the car, Macen is as happy as can be. So Macen, if you are reading this 15 yrs from now, you have heard this story hundreds of times and will probably hear it another hundred times. Thanks for making us throw away $40 ;) And just so you know, you didn't get out of it - we're taking you back next year. Love you little guy!
We had a snow day last week so we brought out the balls for some indoor entertainment. We filled his swimming pool up and Macen and Daddy had an afternoon of fun.
