Merry Christmas 2009
Thursday, December 24th, 2009Hard to believe it’s been six months since my last post. I guess we’ve been busy and I’ve not been as good about publishing as I should be.
Today is Christmas eve. We started to celebrate this morning with the kids opening a gift from Colette and I at different intervals through out the day. We did this on three separate occasions, that way they got to play a bit with each gift prior to opening the next and we didn’t blow the whole thing in one shot.
Brayton got enough Lincoln Logs to build an entire city, as well as a toy globe that I won’t be able to adequately describe, he also got a Leap Frog learning computer that has lots of games on it.
Lauren got a set of Disney princess dresses, blouses, and shoes that are Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella. She also got a Leap Frog computer, and a Little People Doll house for playing. She especially like dressing up in her new dresses and wore the Cinderella slippers on and off the entire day.
To finish off the evening, we baked some Christmas cookies to leave out for Santa. We were burning a fire in the fireplace and Brayton asked, “How is Santa going to come down the chimney if there’s a fire in there?” It amazes me how observant kids can be.
We’ve been tracking Santa’s progress all around the world on www.noradsanta.org . When Brayton found out Santa had crossed the Atlantic Ocean and was on his way to Iowa he decided he better get his pajamas on fast. I’ve never seen him get ready for bed so fast.
Merry Christmas from our house to yours!
