Sian is starting a new year of Storytelling Sunday, with a twist. She's focusing on telling stories with photos (or words, if you prefer). She's also suggested starting the year with a New Year's story, but I have one last Christmas story I want to share. Because when I told it to my 16-year old son, it brought such a smile to his face that I didn't want to forget it before I wrote it down. So, I created this art journal page. It's simple, but Uncle Dave says that's okay.
The journaling reads: "Christmas, 1995. Henry was seven months old and waited and waited and waited for relatives to arrive so he could open presents. We piled his gifts around him on the couch. He opened the first one - Tigger slippers. He put them on. And promptly fell asleep!"

Hahaha that sounds so purely typical of a young child :) Did any of the adults have problems waiting to open their gifts until he woke up again?
That's what Christmas is all about, children having fun.

Gorgeous! This Christmas, The Boy Child looked at all his parcels and said,"I'm a very lucky boy, Mummy!" Then a pregnant pause, "Is there a bus in my parcels?!"
