Christmas

Christmas morning was so much fun this year! The kids were finally old enough to be excited about Santa leaving presents under the tree and they were old enough to open their gifts on their own and appreciate most of them.









For the second year in a row we could have just given the kids their Christmas stockings and called it a day. They wanted to immediately play with each new toy they saw and had to be coaxed into opening another gift. We ended up pacing ourselves and opening a few presents here and there for the next couple of days, inlcuding a Skype session with Grandpa and Nana.

Wyatt's 2 most favorite toys happened to be gifts we gave Sam- a Chick Hicks hauler from the movie CARS, and a wooden car carrier truck- but luckily for us Sam had so many other toys to play with that he either didn't notice or didn't care that Wyatt played with them all day.

Christmas evening we had Ross' family over for an amazing Prime Rib dinner that Ross cooked up in the slow cooker and then another round of presents.










It wasn't until a day or two after Christmas that we even got around to setting up the train set we bought for the boys to go around the tree. Do I have to even say what a big hit that was? They loved it. I mean really, really loved it. The set came with a remote control that let Wyatt move the train forward or backward, and say "All Aboard" and make chuga-chuga-choo-choo noises.
