Noah lost his tooth a few days ago and decided to "hold onto it" until Christmas Eve. He figured he'd save the Tooth Fairy some gas money, as she could just hitch a ride with Santa!
I think this was the first year he actually woke us up! Around 3 am, he came busting into our room yelling, "Santa Came!" I asked if he'd like to snuggle awhile longer and he would have nothing of it...oh well, I tried!
So Tim & I gladly rolled out of bed before dawn to watch him gleefully open gifts, squealing with delight at each package. He was so cute opening them and would say, "You are the best parents!" or "this is my favorite!" or "I'm so grateful!" through it all.
We have lots of arts and crafts to work on for the remainder of break, along with Nerf guns, dartboards and magic rocks. One of the coolest toys was a flying UFO that hovers over his hand and some nano bugs. Of course, there are a few video games tossed in for good measure and lots of other toys and trinkets.
Tim and I were then able to sneak a bit more sleep in while Noah stayed up to play with his new gifts. He came in the room around 5 am and I talked him into using his new body pillow to lay with us awhile. It took a matter of seconds for him to be snoozing away until the alarm woke us for breakftast at Mom's.
Country ham, biscuits, gravy and all the sides at Mamaw B's...yum, yum. Noah was happy about his loot gathered there...top of the list being his crayon maker, more Bakugan toys and other goodies.
The afternoon was spent at home, Tim snoozing, me resting and Noah nose deep in all his toys. We'll head over to Mamaw June's in a bit for some Christmas dinner and even MORE presents before the day is done....whew!

Go Beavers!
My little guy is an official BD Beaver! Noah started playing school basketball this year. He's only played Upward basketball so this is all fairly new to him.
His first game was this week and although they lost, he played a good game.
I love to hear his name get called out during the starting line-up. And although he is usually one of the tallest on the court, he still seems so cute.

Noah has improved so much this season, even though they've only played a few games. He had such a great game last week, making an awesome 3 point shot that was Nothing But Net! He has also learned to use his size as an advantage and has become quite the blocker. I was amused to overhear the other team complaining, "I can't do anything because that 40 is on my back!"
- - - - -
It tickled me the other night as we arrived to Noah's game. All of the sudden a big smile ran across his face and he exclaimed a big, "YES!" complete with arm movements. A short breath later he said...."We have cheerleaders tonight!"
That's my boy :)
