Another fantastic Christmas has come and gone. We anticipate it all year and prepare for it in a hurry and then it's all over in a couple of hours. It was a pretty fun couple of hours though. We could hear the kids screaming from upstairs that they were ready to come down (having a master bedroom downstairs is very inconvenient during the holidays). It took us a minute to prepare their breakfast. We knew they needed something in their stomachs because there was a slight scent of Reeses PB cups drifting into our bedroom from the stockings next door. We made Santa Pancakes to fill up those little tummies. Jack just ate the whipped cream, George ate the his strawberries and Sadie gobbled hers up in hopes that we could retreat to the living room as soon as possible.
We made them eat upstairs to eliminate peeking.
George was growing restless!!
Santa gave Sadie a Rainbow Loom (it's so hot right now:-) and Jack got some new playing cards. Santa thought it appropriate since he could play Uno all day and has from time to time. George got a new car!! He spent a lot of time just getting in and out, making sure that door opened every time.
I love watching them open their gifts. Jack has a one track mind when he opens them. He can't move onto the next present until he has fully examined the first.
Sadie was absolutely thrilled about her new toy horse stable! As long as it has something to do with horses, she sold!!
Amidst all the holiday chaos, I made Chase a new beanie. His older ones didn't seem to cover his head. Can't have my main squeeze getting cold during the craziest winter Austin has seen yet. It's been so cold!! I think he likes it even if it does leave little round indentations on his head from being a little tight.
After they opened their gifts, they played with them ALL day. Literally. By the time we went to retrieve Grandpa and Mimi from the airport, these chiddlers were still in their pj's and still totally interested in their new treasures. Jack was pretty excited about his new legos, Sadie with her horses, and George with his Baby Einstein toys.
He spent at least an hour pounding those balls into their respective holes. Give a little boy a hammer and he's happy for an entire afternoon.
It was a wonderful Christmas. Chase and I gave each other 4 new toilets and a fireplace log. Very practical but exactly what this house needed. Chase installed them all himself and did a phenomenal job. He also saved us a phenomenal amount of cash we would have had to pay a plumber. We spent the rest of the afternoon curled up with the fire blazing. After we picked up Mimi and Grandpa, we had some Christmas ham and stuffing, pumpkin cheesecake and let the kids open more presents from their doting grandparents. Such a wonderful day!!
