Here are some pics from Shonn's family's Christmas. We went to his cousin Angie's house, which is this amazing (pretty much) mansion in Mt. Pulaski. It's a block big. Literally. She has it decorated beautifully, and her Christmas decorations just added that much more. Everyone was there, and the kids got to open presents. Beckett was definitely spoiled! He got a Build a Bear Monkey from Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Hild; Angie, Tyler, and Dustin got him a book, a pull-along frog, and more toys; Mike and Amy gave him some bath toys; Brian, Susan, Aryn and Ryan gave him the Fischer Price puppy that teaches hands, feet and colors; Beth, Kate Cora, and Henry gave him some Sandra Boyton books that were their favorites; and Tim and LouAnn gave him a racecar track! It was Beckett's first experience with unwrapping, and he did great. His expressions were priceless... Take a look.
"You WANT me to rip it?!"
"Oh, mom. You're so embarrassing!"
It was a wonderful night to catch up with everyone. I wish we could have stayed longer, but my Grandma's Christmas was the exact same time. (Naturally!) I remember when Grandma changed her Christmas from Christmas day to the Saturday before so it wouldn't interfere with everyone's family Christmas celebrations. Now, a generation later, it's time to move everything back another week! :)
Kate and Cora took extra special care of their second cousin, Beckett. They were great with him!
Beckett loves his Grandma and recognizes her right away.
Oh, Uncle Jay. Beckett is very curious about that hair.
Beckett practiced walking from Great-Grandma Hild to Grandpa!
He loves his monkey. I think his name is going to be Abu, from Aladdin. (It's a word Beckett can actually say!)
