Last weekend we loaded our car and drove to Lincoln for a long weekend at the Roosmann Spa, celebrating Christmas was on the agenda as well...which explains Gabe's face, he could barely contain his excitement at the prospect of more gifts! His playroom is beginning to look like the hideout of neighborhood robbers.
We made Gabe wait to open gifts until he had napped and eaten dinner, he needed all his strength for the task ahead.
After he opened his first present, a remote control car, our camera battery died. What kind of mom doesn't check the battery first...sheesh.
As a result the remainder of our pictures are courtesy of Andy's phone camera, sub par but the day was recorded none the less.
You can tell from the expression on his face in these pictures that he was nearly overcome with joy, every piece of wrapping paper, every box, bag and every toy was a thrill!
He was a little disgruntled to discover further wrapping after getting it out of the bag.
The morning after, Gabe was experiencing a gift hangover. He sat next to me (in all my camou glory) for nearly an hour. I didn't complain, I'm not sure how much longer we'll both fit in one chair comfortably, or how much longer he'll sit with me willingly.
Now that we're home Andy is convinced we need to donate toys, and I'm positive the situation could be managed perfectly with just the right organizational system. In about 4 months we'll be heading back up to Shriner's Hospital, and as IKEA is practically on the way it seems my solution will win out! Playroom storage here we come!
