Sarah's parents were in town to see the unwrapping first hand and my parents got on the trusty webcam and watched from far away. There was only a sight hiccup in getting the connection working and in the end the videoconference worked well.
The first of his big gifts was his sunglasses. He saw these sunglasses in a store a couple weeks before Christmas and was very excited to wear them. Sarah told him that they should take them up to the register and tell the cashier to tell Santa that Finn wants them. By all appearances the cashier has a direct line to Santa.
Immediately after removing his new sunglasses from the stocking Finn put them on and only took them off yesteday. In case you can't tell from the picture, they have little turtles on the legs and they are super cool.
Finn loves the sunglasses and reminds us every day to put them on as we go outside, regardless of the weather. It seems that the intensity of the light is only a secondary reason to fashion.
In this shot we're waiting at the Metro stop ready to explore, eyes protected, and head warm (also a Christmas gift - this one from Great-Aunt Debbie and Great-Uncle Jeff in NY). In the photo is another favorite Christmas gift, Emily the train from Thomas and Friends, sent by Finn's cousins Emily (Seattle) and Kate (NYC).
Perhaps the boy will be a fashion forward kind of guy. Perhaps he will be a poker player. He'll definitely be protected from UV waves.

Absolutely adorable!! Will has yet to embrace the glasses as Finn clearly does, but he does like to take them on and off other people. Also, Will has the EXACT same stocking (except it says William on it)!
Finn you look good in your sunglasses!
