Parkes was a little in shock and overwhelmed this year with all the festivities that happen. We started out Christmas Eve doing Christmas with Brandon's parents in Lexington who came up for the day and then all headed out to my parents for dinner that night. Then we came home to find Santa's elf had left Parkes some Pj's and got him to bed. Brandon was more excited then Parkes to wake up the next day and woke up about every hour throughout the night and finally asked if he could go wake Parkes up about 7:15, and even though I said it would be best to let him sleep until he was ready to wake up I told Brandon he could....
So this is what Parkes looked like when he came out to see what Santa had brought him. And it took him a long time to actually register what was going on which Brandon was hoping for him to come running out yelling about his Yellow Hummer.
He finally started to warm up to the idea that Santa had actually brought him his Yellow Hummer that he had talked about for so long.
Then after having Christmas at home we headed over to my parents to have lunch and Christmas over there which is not small in my family as I come from a family of 5 kids (3 of us which got married within a year of each other, and then we've added a baby every year since Parkes was born)
Parkes was completely warmed up to his Hummer and gave the dogs rides around the yard.
And then my sister, Hayley, got a ride too.
When we finally got back home we expected Parkes to crash, but he was still too excited and Brandon and I finally went to bed around 11 with Parkes still awake in his room watching a movie and playing with cars.
A little side note that made Brandon and I laugh the other night...We had put Parkes to bed which we have always been able to put him to bed awake and he plays for about an hour and then falls asleep on his own (except right after we moved our room upstairs and we had about a 3 week adjustment phase) so we had put him to bed and Brandon and I were watching TV and all of a sudden we here little footsteps running down the hall. Parkes runs right past us into the kitchen informing us, "don't worry just getting a night night snack." Then he opened the cabinet got a couple of crackers and ran back to bed.
