Christmas through a child's eyes is wonderful and anything we do with Case is always more fun than doing it as just adults because everything to him is a learning experience. Christmastime is no different.
This year Case really understands more and more and one thing he loves, like most boys, are trucks, tractors, and all construction equipment. When I saw this rechargeable kid size bulldozer I couldn't get checked out at Amazon fast enough. Once it arrived and I put it together I also couldn't wait to give it to him.
He's not too sure on operating it yet because it is pretty powerful for a toy and has several levers that have to be pushed together to get it to go but he loves dumping and raising the blade. He will get tons of use out of this for the next couple years...unless he wears his tracks out!
Hendrik's Dad has been wanting to take Case to The North Pole of Texas since the beginning of the month and it just so worked out the Thursday before Christmas I had him and we loaded up and went. Hendrik, Henk, me, and Case stood in line for around 45 minutes and sipped hot chocolate as we made our way to the front for our train ride around the grounds.
He never got impatient with the wait because there was so many people and so much to look at. This place is so neat and if you're in the area during Christmas time should really swing by. It's ran by donation only and just such a neat place for family time. The weather also worked in our favor, it was chilly but not cold so perfect to be outside.
He LOVED the train ride and I loved watching him just soak it all in. He's still not friendly with Santa or Mrs. Clause but was happy to take their candy.
I'm thankful for family that I can make these special memories with and for my brother and Lara for allowing us to spoil Case and do with him as we please. He has a GREAT life!!!! Merry Christmas!
