We had a wonderful Christmas! The picture above was taken at Jeremy's Granny Dean's house on Saturday, December 17. Kirk opened his gift, but he liked cousin Holden's Captain America better. He thought he was a "bad guy" for some reason, and he liked carrying him around.
Kirk is hoarding Holden's Captain America while cousin Jalee admires it. Why do kids always want what isn't theirs?
Kirk is waiting patiently with his friends for his Christmas pajama party snacks at school (with his friends Olivia and Carter)
Miss Eva's cupcakes were "so yummy!"

Kirk is sitting with his friends at school...he's moving to the older class on January 3. He will take 3 friends with him, but leave the rest behind. His teachers think that this is a good move for him, and that he will enjoy playing with older children (even though Kirk will be 6-9 months younger than everyone in the class!). Miss Myra says she will miss him dearly, but she thinks he is getting "bored" in her class. She says he is very smart, and understands and follows directions very well. In his new class, he will be in another building, eat in the cafeteria (and he gets to choose chocolate or white milk for lunch.....what do you think he'll choose?), he will play on the big playground and in the gym. They have a more structured day and more structured lessons and activities. We are excited for the move, but sad that this means he is growing up fast!
Kirk and Miss Myra...he loves her so much!
Kirk LOVED his Toy Story potato head set from Meme and Poppy!

Kirk and Bella on Christmas Eve....Bella always likes to play with cars at our house!
Kirk LOVED his "real Buzz" from Erin, Zac, and Bella....can you tell?

Kirk is blasting off in his Buzz rocket ship from Gramma Debi! To infinity and beyond!
Santa left a big pile of presents, even though Kirk told me to tell him to "leave them outside and mama can go get them." He was just a little freaked out about Santa coming into his house! I think he got over it after he saw what Santa's visits bring!
Kirk playing with his new train table from Gramma Sullivan
Astro had enough of Christmas cheer....
Kirk enjoyed Mama's french toast casserole (recipe from Pinterest...delicious!). He "ate it all up" and was ready to play again. We had an amazing Christmas morning at our house, and we hope everyone else did, too. Watching Kirk open gifts and enjoy his new toys is the best present we could ever have (although my new vacuum, treadmill, and iron make is nice, too...haha). Spending time playing with Kirk is such a blessing, and hopefully I'll talk him out of making me only race the purple hot wheels car (apparently he thinks it's the only one I'm allowed to race for some reason?) and teach him how to turn one toy off before starting up another! He loves everything, and although I look at the toys strewn about and yearn for nice neat toy storage....I wouldn't trade one mess for all the world! I'm excited for my week off with Kirk, and hopefully some cozy snow days to come....we'll have lots of time to race, shoot Zurg, play "potatoes" (heads), and put together train tracks. He is such a fun little boy, and the absolute best gift I have! Merry Christmas everyone!
