Our holidays were extremely hectic this year due to all the activity and states that we managed to cram into a 10 day period. After meeting Tyler at his parents house we hurried home to make a Christmas party on my mom's side. My aunt has numerous Christmas trees throughout her home, all of which spin, but one in particular caught W's eye. It was a Winnie the Pooh tree, that had a train underneath.
After Papa brought him back from viewing all the holiday decor all W could talk about was the tree that went, "round round round in circles!" He was so excited that you could barely understand him as he repeated this phrase over and over while motioning with his arms. The duration of the party was spent taking shifts sitting with W as he gazed in awe at perhaps the most magical Christmas decor he has come across.
I must say the train was quite impressive.
It was made entirely out of legos, complements of my cousin Rocco.
The next day we packed up the car and headed back to Wisconsin to visit some of Tyler's family in Milwaukee. It was a rather low key day which was nice since this was the beginning of the plague that was about to descend upon us. Little Man received an abundance of presents, as did the rest of us. I am thrilled to say I am the owner of a brand new king size down comforter and it is glorious. W got a nice assortment of books, trains, and clothes, along with a globe that is really rather neat.
Even though W was not feeling very well he still managed to make everyone smile and his energy outlasted all the men.
Who can blame them? A full belly and a lazy boy will always yield these results.
Unfortunately for Tyler's aunts new furniture, W was in pretty rough shape by the end of the night. He was coughing so hard that he made himself throw up. Tyler's mom was kind enough to go out and get a whole feel better kit, and Tyler's aunt washed all of our clothes. W rallied though and told me that he wanted to party on Christmas eve, so we donned our festive outfits and the following night headed over to visit with my dad's family. He was in much better spirits and health, than my mom or myself, but the Spiderman tricycle may have something to do with that.
