Apparently when John was growing up they opened stockings on Christmas Eve, and boy oh boy, I can't seem to keep him out of the present pile until Christmas morning.
To distract him on the very long Christmas Eve afternoon, we took a scamper in the leaves out front, and I broke out my camera.
Probably the most distracting part was when John made a leaf angel (like a snow angel), and put his head in poop. Was it Harper's poop? We will never know. Harper denies all knowledge.
Luckily we kept Orelia out of the excrement and she attempted to climb our magnolia.
John gave her a boost and she was beyond thrilled at the view. Clapping, clapping, clapping.
Uncle Bobby gives the best upside-down dangles. Orelia is becoming a bit of a dare devil these days.
A little distraction works wonders for toddlers and daddies - and just like that, the whole begging to open presents thing was forgotten. Until next year...
