Our Holidays were great! I was so excited for Rece's 2nd Christmas - I think I had visions of him opening each and every gift and oohhhhhing and ahhhhhing and giving everyone big hugs and kisses of Thanks. So it didn't happen exactly like that....but he really did enjoy the whole opening of gifts thing this year and with each and every box that he unwrapped he would say "open it" so that toy had to be opened right then so he could check out what was inside.
We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day in Jackson at my parents and then headed to Mt. Pleasant the day after Christmas for Christmas with Jeremy's parents. We also had the opportunity to see some friends as well, which was great. On Christmas Eve we went to the 5pm Children's Mass. Rece started off mass with "Wow and ohhhhhh" when they started singing the opening hymn. But by 5 minutes into the actual mass he said (loudly) - "I go home now?" . Overall he was pretty good, Jeremy took him out into the family/welcome area about 2/3rds through the mass because he was too fidgety to stay in the pew.
Christmas Day we got up and opened gifts and then celebrated with the whole Dawson family at my parents house. Although it is crazy, because there were like 40 people there, it is such a cool way to spend Christmas Day, with family - near and far. Rece liked playing with all of his little second cousins. So many babies now, it is so much fun.
When we got up to the lake the weather wasn't quite as cold so Rece got to build a snowman with Gma, Gpa and Josh. He loved that. We also got to see all of his Great Grandma's on the trip. We had been showing him pictures so he would know their names and he did, he did great. He really has never had "stranger danger" shyness, maybe a good thing, maybe not...who knows.
One funny story: on our way from Jackson to Mt. Pleasant we stopped at the Lake Lansing Road Mejier. In the middle of a busy isle Rece folds his hands in the shopping cart and yells out "Thank you Jesus!!" - he was praying. We had to pick ourselves up off the floor of the beer and wine isle....(cough) I mean the cereal isle from laughing so hard. No idea why he busted out the lunch prayer in the middle of meijer, but I am pretty sure people thought he was an angel child.
Anyway, we stayed in Michigan through the new year this year which was also nice - I actually saw mid-night this year. First time in three years I think. Some pictures below of our great 2010 Christmas:
