As Ben was getting excited for Christmas weeks before, so was Aaron. He didn’t really know what was going on again as he was still small but was very excited about the Christmas tree! 😉  He kept putting toys under it for the few weeks that it was up before Christmas Day, I suppose he thought it was presents!

On Christmas morning he didn’t wake up early like he normal does but slept in until 7am like Ben did, until I went in and woke them up. Once they were awake and saw the over-filled stockings brimming with presents, they were right on!! I picked Aaron out of his cot and he grabbed his stocking and dragged it into our room, along with Ben. We plonked him down on the bed with his stocking and he dived in, although he sometimes seemed more interested in what Ben had. Aaron opened a few presents then came across the first chocolate present, and that was that then!  He wouldn’t open anything else until he had dug in to his chocolate! 😉

Eventually, he finished opening them all and had some really nice stocking fillers and we then had to put them all back in and go downstairs to see if Father Christmas had arrived and left any presents behind for anyone! I think Aaron’s words when he walked through the door and saw the huge amount of presents were ‘Wowee!’  He had been saying this a lot at the time, especially when he saw any Christmas lights (which he loved!). Both boys tried to dive in but we got a drink first (and they both had some more chocolate!) and then we proceded to opening the presents.  We usually open one at a time but the boys had to open one each at the same time, which did actually speed things up! I think Aaron played with every toy that he opened and also tried to have a go at anything Ben had opened as well, so they both had great fun although there were a few tantrums!

Aaron ate all of his Christmas dinner as well as some starters of fruit, even though he had been chomping on sweets and chocolate all morning! Im not sure if he had his usual morning nap as it all went by in a bit of a blur, so he may or may not have! I don’t think he did as the excitement was probably too much for him to sleep! 😉

When we spoke to family online later on in the day, like Ben, Aaron tried to show as many of his new toys to them as possible (via Google Hangout) but he was getting tired and teasy at this point. The boys both went to bed at a decent time (must have been about 7:30pm) and actually slept very well during the night, so they must have been completely worn out by all the excitement of Christmas Day!

Some of the presents that Aaron had were a moving truck which made noises, Junior Tag and books, Mickey Mouse play set, a soft Mickey Mouse cuddly toy, a Fireman Sam magnetic drawing pad, some new clothes including pj’s, sweets and chocolate, toy helicopter, a magnetic and chalk easel (which was for both of them), a Pirate ship and castle (which was for both of them), a Spider-Man tent (which was for both of them, a Peppa Pig moving car, some new lego and blocks and much more! Thanks to everyone that bought him a present, he loves them all and plays with everything all of the time!

Here are some pictures from Christmas Day and the ‘Night Before Christmas’.
