Holiday Happenings

 

Merry Christmas, hope you all had a wonderful holiday. We had a great weekend starting our own traditions with the kids. Claire has been really into Christmas this year, so it’s been a lot of fun for us to hype everything up.

Christmas Eve started off with a ride in our “sleigh”. Paul needed an arm workout.

Then it was time for baking and frosting sugar cookies. Well, I did most of it as Claire took a spoon of frosting and ate it the whole time.

Henry watched football with Daddy without his pants. He is going to be our nudist child I think.

Then it was time to prep our stuff for Santa. We left out our cookies, milk, and carrots for the reindeer.

Christmas morning was a lot of fun. Meema and Boopa arrived late Christmas Eve so seeing them and all the gifts gave Claire quite a thrill. She LOVED the birthday hat from Santa. Afterwards we had to sing “Happy Birthday” to everyone multiple times. Throughout the day she kept saying it was her birthday. Opening gifts took awhile since she played with every gift she opened. Henry enjoyed the paper and trying to take whatever Claire was playing with, pretty typical. Overall it was a wonderful Christmas and great to have Meema and Boopa here. It’s wonderful to finally have a home to start our own traditions.
