Christmas in July


I don't know if you've noticed this, but summer is seriously lacking in holidays. Especially of the present-giving variety. Thankfully Courtney, Elizabeth, Jamie, and Amanda took care of that with a Christmas in July blogger gift exchange. The more Christmases, the better! 

Ally over at Even Miracles Take a Little Time and her adorable daughter Lia put together the sweetest box full of fun gifts for Ez, and even included a little something for Declan. Talk about spoiling us! Ever since his birthday, Ez has really gotten the hang of present-opening. In fact, he's a little overzealous and assumes anything in a bag or box is a present for him. All our explanations otherwise have so far fallen on deaf ears. But last Thursday was his lucky day, because he got a whole box full of wrapped gifts to open up! Talk about toddler paradise. 

Ally hit all the bases as far as Ez's interests go. There were some construction vehicles, some dinosaurs, some wands, a puzzle, books, vehicle flash cards, and monster truck stickers. Stickers are actually a new obsession over here, so the timing couldn't have been more perfect. We immediately tore into those and got to work sticking them onto a card and peeling them off over and over again. Throughout the day he kept going back to the box and rediscovering something new. Thank you so much Ally, you really made it feel like Christmas over here!

Be sure to head over to the linkup to check out everyone else enjoying their gifts. Merry Christmas in July!

A lil something for baby bro. So sweet!
