Christmas

We had such a lovely Christmas at home. This was the first year that Hogan really got the idea of Christmas morning and opening presents. I love that he is so happy with simple things. He absolutely loved his Thomas umbrella and roller skates. We spent a good part of Christmas day out on his skates trying to figure them out. And when he got to Oma and Opa's house a couple of days later he wanted to skate to the park (which is a good ten minute walk away- he made it to the corner before he had to give up the dream and hop in the wagon).

However, even though Hogan loves simple things, he is still a kid who can always find a toy that he needs. Last night at Target we went down the toy aisle. Hogan picked up a toy and showed it to Troy and said, "Santa forgot to leave this one at my house." So, needless to say, Hogan is sad to see the end of the Santa for this year.
