"I never wanted that!"

So Christmas has come and gone; and I for one couldn’t be happier. I have to say we had a great Christmas; it was so much fun to see the boys open all the gifts and be so excited by each one. All Peanut asked for all Christmas season was a bicycle with peddles. Christmas morning came and that’s all he wanted, I'm glad Santa listened and got one. The look on Peanut's face when he came down those stairs and saw his shiny new bike with peddles under the tree was priceless. The first words out of his mouth were "I never wanted that!" At first I was confused, the words coming out of his mouth were in sharp contrast to the happy look on his face. Then I realized he'd messed up his words, he meant "I always wanted that". He continued to say he "never wanted that" to every present he opened. We had to translate for Grandma who was as shocked as we were. I tried to correct him over and over but he never got it straight. Peanut made out like a bandit and loved everything he got, even the clothes.

Walnut also got some great stuff but true to his age he preferred to play in the discarded boxes and wrapping paper. It was a great Christmas, but I'm so ready to put away all the stuff. I think I'll hold out until after the new year before taking the tree down but not one minute longer.
