We got Marcus a basketball hoop that goes in the tub for Christmas. We put it up in the shower downstairs. He has now learned how to open the shower door by himself. I caught him the other morning in there playing basketball. He has a lot of fun with it.
Jesse and I gave Marcus some crayons and paper for Christmas. I gave them to him a couple of days ago so he could color. I was cleaning the bathroom while he was coloring. He only colored for a couple of minutes and then he was done and off to play with something else, but when I went into the laundry room I noticed the lovely picture that he drew for me when I wasn't paying attention.
At Grandma Bates's we had breakfast before we opened presents, Marcus fell asleep during breakfast so he got to open all his presents after everyone else. Once again he didn't want to open presents he only wanted to play in the paper. 
The jersey that we got Papa.
Marcus wasn't really into opening presents, but he sure liked to play in the wrapping paper. He loves the big car that Santa brought him. He was really excited and a little impatient while papa tried to open it.
Marcus loves to look out the window and watch the dogs play. Some how Papa gets the job of holding him.
It's COLD Dad!
We spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa Bates's house. We got up Christmas morning and went up to Mammy's and Papa's. Marcus was mad that we woke him upat 7, since he stayed up till 1am.
