THANK YOU...

...to someone for a gift for Alex! No, I'm not being coy about who sent it....we really don't know who it was from :)

Yesterday, we received the cutest little gift for Alex. It is called "Blocks in a Box" and personalized with his name on it.

The shipping label states that it was shipped from a shipping company in Niceville, Florida, but there was no invoice in the box to tell us who sent this super cute gift to Alex. I sent e-mails and texts to everyone that I could think of asking who sent it...no

one knew! It is still a mystery to us!

Whoever you are (and I hope you read our blog), THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENT FOR ALEX!!! It was such a nice surprise to receive a gift like this in the mail - especially when we weren't expecting it! If you did send Alex this gift, will you please comment on this post so we can properly thank you :)

Here are some pictures of Alex's "Block in a Box":

Nothing More Fun...

Than ELEFUN!

Tonight, while were in Florida, Alex finally got to open his presents from Amanda and Josh and from Aunt Kristy and Unce Mike.

Amanda and Josh got Alex a rack with several puzzles on it. Alex LOVED it. He was able to put the puzzles together within a few minues - a genius perhaps?! Thanks to Amanda and Josh for getting Alex such a fun and educational present.

Aunt Kristy and Uncle Mike got Alex several presents: Toy Story Plate, Toy Story Bowl, Toy Story Straw freezy cup, a miniature snow globe with the name "Alex" on it, a super huge tent and the best present of all, ELEFUN!

Of course we set up Elefun as soon as he opened it and it was so much fun watching the joy on his face. I have a bunch of pictures and three videos of the Elefun :) I just love hearing his laughter and seeing his joy as he plays this game! Thank you so much, Aunt Kristy and Uncle Mike for giving us this gift that is already creating such incredible memories! Enjoy!

Presents from Aunt Jenny & Nona Lynn

On Christmas Eve, we let Alex open his gifts from Aunt Jenny and Nona Lynn (Jenny's Mom).

Jenny got him two Geo-Trax sets, a Handy Manny Toy and two pairs of PJ's (Wonder Pets and Buzz Lightyear). Nona Lynn got him a tool box with a spinning/working drill and a super-cute long sleeve shirt. As much as Alex loved the toys, he loved the Wonder Pet jammies just as much. We changed into them shortly after opening them!

Thank you both Jenny and Lynn! Thank you for caring enough about our son to include him in your holiday shopping. It means to the world to us to know that we have such amazing friends/family like you! We truly are blessed!

Here are a bunch of pictures from present opening:

Larry & Sarah's Christmas

Larry and I decided to open our presents to each other on December 23. We wanted Christmas to be all about Alex and we knew that he wouldn't give us too much opprotunity to open presents that weren't for him.

It was nice to spend time with Larry, listening to Christmas music and opening our presents.

I got Larry a new pair of Oakley's (to replace the ones that he left in London), a new iPod (to replace the one that was stolen from our car), several Alabama shirts, an Alabama Columbia Fleece jacket, a pair of Nike shoes (that should be here in a few weeks) and some fun stocking stuffers. Oh, for those of you that don't know, I ordered Larry a specially made, very pricey watch for TPS graduation. Because of the expense, it is also considered part of his Christmas gift as well.

Larry got me a new watch, a pink North Face Pull-Over jacket, a gift certificate to the spa for a massage, a Coach Purse and for my last present, the Apple Mac Computer that I have been drooling over for several years now. When he gave me the Mac, he told me that it was for both Christmas and for being such a big help to him this past year in TPS. It was nice that he recognized that and it made the gift so much more special.

We were both definitely spoiled this year, but after the past year in Maryland, it was very well-deserved :)

Here are some pictures of us opening our gifts...enjoy!

Alex LOVES Presents...

...just like his Mommy!

Alex got a package in the mail from Grandma Becky and Grandpa Pete. He got a "Dooby-Doo" care package - "Dooby-Doo" big boy Underwear, a "Dooby-Doo" swimsuit and "Dooby-Doo" gummies! He was pretty much in "Dooby-Doo" heaven!

He enjoyed everything and we got a few cute pictures with his new stuff! He tried on his underwear - making me let him do it all by himself!

Thank you Grandma Becky and Grandpa Pete for thinking of Alex!
