Merry Christmas to All.

I just layed Zane down to bed after a fun-filled day of opening gifts, lounging in his pj's most of the day and eating all kinds of food we normally don't let him have!! This year was so much more fun than last year. Last year he was only 2 mos old and was really a "blob", he just layed around and didn't do much of anything except look cute! This year, he was all over it! I think his favorite thing to do was open his stocking. He loved sticking his hand inside and pulling out a toy. He would get this look of extreme excitement on his face when he would pull out a toy, he couldn't wait to get his hand back in there to pull out another one! And of course he really enjoyed the paper and ribbons!

We are so blessed to have such a loving family and group of friends to spoil all of us (especially Zane). I am so thankful for what we have, especially when looking at most of the world (heck, most of the U.S. right now) with the terrible economy we are in. So many people are losing their jobs and houses; it really is awesome that we can have a house full of presents, the heat cranked up, good health and so much love around us. I wish for everyone to have that.

The Alexander's really do hope that everyone else out there had a very Merry Christmas as well and hope that love surrounds you too.

Here are a few pics (and a video) of the Zane Man today!

Digging in!

Getting the real hang of opening his gifts.

The kid can't get enough of this doodle-board.


Here is a video of Zane enjoying the paper a whole lot more than his toys at the moment! Typical kid!
