He was not shy at all. In fact, he kept talking to Santa...He said "I want a tall bike, drums so I can bang on them, cars, trucks, baseball stuff so I can play baseball with my daddy, etc".

We had a relatively calm Christmas. The hard part this year was actually getting the presents wrapped. I think I forgot to mention that ever since we got out of Shands, Caden refuses to sleep in his bed no matter how many times we put him back in it. He said that there are monsters in there and it's too dark and spooky. Granted, Mommy slept in the bed with him every night and daddy slept on the pull out chair. So, the lack of going to bed is killing us and it was harder to get Christmas ready. So, there were no presents under the tree until the night of the 23rd. By some Christmas miracle, he went to bed early and in his own bed on Christmas Eve. I think all of the Santa threats may have worked that night.
Mi-mi came to stay with us on Christmas Eve and we all went to church. Caden was great during the service! We told him when he got home that he got to open his presents, so he was beyond excited. He was definitely into the whole Christmas thing this year more.
Getting ready to open his Christmas presents!

With all of his loot...I swear you never realize how much you buy until you start wrapping it all (but there are presents from other family members in there).

Santa came! Caden literally was so tired and didn't want to get out bed until daddy mentioned the words "more presents" and then he perked right up!

He would open things and tell his dad "no touch it" so he could open another one...he must get that from school or I guess it's just the age.
A few hours later (literally), we were packed up and headed to Panama City.
Pops made a Santa's workshop in their garage for all the boys.

And, then, more presents...he must think that there are 3 Christmases.

All in all, Caden had a great Christmas and we now we need to give away a lot of his old toys!
