It's about time I post about Christmas!
We had a great Christmas. Santa was good to everyone, the kids were happy, and the parents were happy.
We drove around on Christmas Eve to look at lights and get the kids sleepy. Then we came home and ate cinnamon rolls, and set one out for Santa. The kids had to go to bed right away so Santa wouldn't have to eat a cold cinnamon roll. The note Erin left let him know his cup of milk was in the fridge. Why would Santa want tepid milk?
My parents came over at 7:00 on Christmas morning and we got the kids up. Santa left a pretty good spread, and of course we all enjoyed opening presents.
After presents and stockings, we had more cinnamon rolls for breakfast!
Grandma & Grandpa went home after breakfast, and we got all the paper, packaging, etc., etc. cleaned up and presents mostly put away. Including all those wretched little plastic bits and rubber bands that secure every inch of children's toys to the packaging... I hate those.
Then it was off to Mesa to see Rob's family. We did stockings, presents, and lunch. Everything you need! I brought my camera, but it remained untouched. Erin had a fun time playing with her cousins, and it was fun to see Sydnie (Scott & Stephanie's 4-month-old) on her first Christmas. We stayed and visited for quite a while, and Erin ended up staying the night. We got home around 10:00 or so and we were glad we had put all the Christmas morning stuff away!
The next day, we got everything else put away and organized, and we just enjoyed our stuff and not having to really do anything. Robbie likes to wear his scooter helmet at random.
Rob's mom & Brigette and the girls brought Erin home that night, so we had another little visit with them.
It was a busy couple of days, but in a good way! We love Christmas!

Sounds like a fun Christmas... but 7 am!? Wow thats early. My kids woke up at 830 am on Christmas morning :D
Sounds like the perfect Christmas!
I think Erin's got the right idea for Santa treats--keep the hot part hot and the cold part cold.
I liked how Robbie alternates between the Santa hat and the helmet in the pics =)
Sounds like you guys had a good Christmas... I hate the cleaning up part. Carlos' Dad an his family stays over the night so on Christmas Day we all open presents together and the mess from all the presents and boxes and plus all the fastners on the toys..... not fun to clean!
somehow I missed this post. Anyway, sounds like a really fun Christmas. Isaac got a bike--maybe we should have gotten him a scooter instead.
