We started the day by opening our presents at home - Eli got a drum set and blocks from Santa and books and a toy remote control from Mommy and Daddy.
Daddy put a bow on his head after the first present was open and it fell off at the end...
The, we went to Auntie Heather and Uncle Joe's house for presents. He loves spending time with his cousins!
His big present there was a bike from Auntie Heather, Uncle Joe, Jacob, and Jillian. Jacob picked it out of a catalog, then the Wells family braved Toys R Us on a Super Saver Day to pick it up!
(Daddy did not get the memo about wearing your Christmas PJ's...)
We came home for naps and showers, then headed back to Heather and Joe's for Christmas dinner. We didn't make dinner, though. Eli touched the wood pellet stove in the family room and we ended up at Mass General's emergency room with second degree burns on most of his left hand...our poor little guy! They rushed us through because he was in so much pain.
After being treated, he calmed right down and we went back to Heather and Joe's for some quick food and to let everyone know he was alright.
We have to keep him bandaged up for a while, but he has been a trooper. He started using it the next morning and hasn't cried since we first changed the bandages! I get upset when I get a paper cut! Here is our tough little patient the morning after his accident.
He is clearly miserable from his injury!
Daddy wanted to take pictures of the actual burn because he was disappointed Eli will not remember this lesson...Mommy vehemently vetoed this idea!
This will not become one of the Scott family Christmas traditions!
Sooo scary! I'm glad that he's doing much better. And, it appears that his general assessment of the holiday was a good one--very cheery!
