The last few days have been jam packed with family, food, and exhausted, but happy kids. It didn’t help that both kids came down with colds this week and have been trying so hard to behave normally while feeling miserable. Besides that, we have had a wonderful Christmas being back in Oregon and breaking in the house with family. It started with baking some cookies for family/Santa:
We then celebrated Grampa’s birthday on Tuesday. The kids were very happy to help blow out his candles:
On Christmas Eve, Meema, Boopa, Teresa, and Bravo joined us and we did our 2nd annual gingerbread house building. This year it was Henry’s turn to have his house fall down:
This morning was a lot of fun. The kids were thrilled that Santa came. Claire was so worried that Santa wouldn’t bring her number one requested item: a ukulele. She was so happy that one showed up. Henry loved all his Spider-man gear/toys. And of course, insisted on wearing a new dress-up dress or his Spider-man robe most of the day. The kids were exhausted, running on sugar and adrenaline by the end of the night. It was a great day spent with our family and we are so thankful that holidays no longer mean cross county trips!
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. As you can see, no baby yet. He is still perfectly happy staying put. For me, he better evacuate pretty soon because I’m exhausted carrying around a basketball all the time!
