Christmas is here!

Christmas morning was here and Will was up at his usual time (6:30 AM). So we quickly got the video camera in place to capture Will's reaction as he came down the stairs. Malissa carried him downstairs as I watched from the family room. As he came down, the first present he saw was the train set. He quickly burst into an emphatic "WHOOOOOOAAAAAAA" and ran down to play with the train set. We were so excited he liked it, but soon found out that nothing else mattered to him after that. We tried to pull him over to the Christmas tree to open more gifts, but he had no interest. All he wanted to do was play with the train set. Who could blame him, it looked fun. After about 30 minutes of playing with the train set, we were able to convince him to open more gifts (only by telling him that he might have more trains to open). So we finally got all of the gifts unwrapped, but Will soon went back to playing with the train which continued to do most of the day. Christmas 2008 was wonderful as usual and we were sad to see it come to an end. Here are a few pictures from throughout the day (including a few with uncle Andrew who came over for lunch).
