The best way to describe Mac on Christmas morning was as a tornado. Coe on the other hand spent a lot time holding and examining one toy and one toy only – his Power Ranger sword! Mac and I opened quite a few of Coe’s gifts for him because once he saw that Santa had brought him the sword he didn’t care about much else for several hours. Mac on the other hand touched every toy Santa left him, every toy Santa left Coe and pretty much every present he could see in a matter of seconds – tornado boy! 
After looking at all the Santa toys in the basement and playing with them for a while, we finally moved upstairs to open all the family gifts we got for each other {note that Coe brought his sword with him and wouldn’t put it down. Hence the reason Mac and I opened the majority of Coe's presents for him!} I made Mac change back into his Christmas pjs, but as soon as we finished opening gifts he was back into his football uniform and often had his new army shirt on top of it depending on what he was pretending at the moment {the tornado description remained accurate for him all day}.
We have so much to be thankful for. I try to remind the boys of this whenever I get the opportunity. There are so many people who were unable and have never gotten to celebrate the Christmas that we had this year and really every year. Thank you God for giving us Jesus and so many other blessings that we have the opportunity to celebrate not just on December 25, but everyday of the year!
{I still have several more Christmas blog posts…we truly celebrated all month long!}
