Christmas Eve was spent with good friends eating Quesadillas, chips and salsa, cheese and lots of yummy desserts. We had our own little nativity play with all the appropriate parts. Margie Jake and Aiden doubled as the shepherds and Wise men. Londynn was the Angel, Jackson and Emma, Mary and Joseph, Kailee was the star, Mason was baby Jesus and Dimitri was the angel Gabriel and the donkey. James was supposed to be a sheep but ended up sleeping through the whole thing. The kids got to open their Christmas pajamas and then we headed home. Amazingly both kids were asleep in about 15 minutes completely out at 8:15 on Christmas Eve. We were all so exausted we even forgot to leave out cookies for Santa! Oh well... He came anyway!
Christmas morning at last!!! James was up at 6am, wide awake.. I tried with all my might to get him back to sleep but he woudn't have it. He just wanted to play. So Margie stumbled out around 6:30 and we sent her back to wake up Jake. Of course the chaos bagan the moment they laid into their stockings. We tried to let them open stockings and one present then have breakfast and finish the rest, well neither kid was hungry and Margie sat on the floor staring at me and asking "are you finished yet mom?" as I ate my cereal. They coudn't open till Dan and I were done, pure torture! We were completely finished around 8:30am (and ready for a nap)Here's Jakey sporting his StarWars lego jammies and showing his Transformer car.
Margie didn't like the idea of taking turns so she was done with her present opening way before anyone else. She was so excited she couldn't stand it and was very happy with what Santa brought her. She even declared "I must have been good!" when she saw all she got.
All three gooses on the new blanket from Grama Annie. Thanks Grama!
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and that Santa was good to you also!
