Joey Z.: Christmas 2008

First picture of Christmas morning 2008, you can see Joey is not awake yet. But Bill could not wait and woke him up. He had 2 stockings, this was candy from the stocking in his room (he INSISTED Santa had to come into his room!)

Here are the pics when he first walked into the room, of course he could see down from the loft area upstairs and could not get down fast enough, these are great expressions!!!!

Then he finally noticed Santa's footprints in the fireplace ashes and the cookies, milk and carrots that were all nibbled : ) A very Magical Moment!!!!

I honestly thought the bike would get the first look, but it was Spike the Remote Controlled Dinosaur that stole the show

Then after a few minutes he started noticing more stuff

and of course, his "Big Boy" Bike

Opening his Star Wars Imperial Walker Transformer he has been asking, asking, asking and begging for...just like Da's

The stocking!!!!! Candy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As most of you know our dog Daisy passed with year and Joey has been having a VERY HARD time without her. So Santa brought him a fish and wall aquarium. He named the fish Wubbzy. This has not helped with his mourning of Daisy...poor kid. He REFUSES to pet other dogs and will tell anyone who has a dog with them and asks if he would like to pet it "No Thank You I have a dog named Daisy and she is with Santa, but coming back soon." Then the rest of the day he will ask if we can go pick up Daisy....Lord help us I think we might have to buy another Daisy to fix it : ~ I guess Wubbzy just isn't as cuddly : )

An Optimus Prime costume....cool dude!!

My very organized son, had to line up all the Transformers he got for Christmas to take inventory and see if any were missing... hahaha got to wait for the Cupid or Easter Bunny for the others
