Christmas, and your upcoming birthday!

Liam,
You had SUCH a great Christmas! Santa was a big fail, twice, but you loved the Christmas tree. On Christmas Day, you must have said "Merry Christmas, Mommy" to me at least 10 times. Pretty much the cutest thing ever. On Christmas Eve, you wanted to open all the gifts, whether they were for you or not. When you saw your train table on Christmas morning, you were SO excited. That day, you played with it literally every waking moment, other than during meals. You just love that thing, and it makes me so happy to see you happy. You loved to hear me sing Jingle Bells, and you'd try to join in, too. You'd also ask me to sing "la la la" which was Deck the Halls. So cute. On Christmas night, you and Daddy and I drove around and looked at Christmas lights. I think we'll have to make that into a yearly tradition.

You're talking more and more every day. It's crazy. I swear you can repeat almost anything. This morning, you were running around singing a mixture of the Barney song/Twinkle Twinkle/Three Blind Mice. It was truly hilarious. I just love to hear your sweet voice.

Your birthday party will be this Sunday, the day before your birthday. I think we should have around 15 to 20 people there. I don't know how they'll all fit in our house... but we'll make it work! I'm hoping that you don't freak out about all those people... but I think you'll be okay. It's going to be an Elmo party. We ordered your Elmo/Big Bird cake at the grocery store. I can't wait to see it!

I can hardly believe you're going to be 2. Today was my due date, 2 years ago. Little did I know I'd be waiting 5 more days for your arrival! You are the greatest thing that's ever happened to me, sweet boy. I love you.

Mommy
