Merry Christmas!

Well, we successfully made it through our first Christmas in St. Andrews. It was SO good to have Kay Kay here...it would not have been the same without her. It just feels right to be around family for the holidays so we are glad she braved the weather and made the trip! Our Christmas day was pretty low key, but it was a good day. We started out opening all the presents (which there were a lot of! Kay Kay packed several suitcases full of gifts from our family and friends back home). Justus was interested in the opening of the first few, and then he was over it and just wanted to play with the first things he got! Then onto the Buchanan family tradition of following string that lead from the stockings all over the house ending with a hidden pile of gifts. Justus is already a pro at this. Then we headed into town for a Christmas dinner for the St. Mary's (School of Divinity) students and their families who were still in town. It was good (and we certainly weren't going to cook a whole turkey for just the four of us, so we got to enjoy some turkey that someone else made!). Justus spent the entire time flirting with a cute little girl there who was just a little older than him. And that was it. We came home and watched 'The Duchess' - good but depressing and definitely not a new annual tradition or anything! All in all in was a good day.

Surveying the string situation...He climbed up on this chair with his present all by himself and opened it up there. He instantly loved his new batman p.j.'s (thanks Hawarahs). And don't worry Peeps, he loves his new dino p.j.'s too!!Following his stocking string with a little help from dad.
He loved his new puppy (stuffed puppy that is) that was waiting for him at the end of his string.
Justus was sending out the vibe to his cute little new girl friend :) At one point they went off together behind a couple of benches and were hugging! It was the cutest.
Way too cute for his own good!!
