A Very Merry Christmas

Better late than never! We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Christmas Eve dinner at our house with the Wagners, Daleys and Bears followed by our annual Poker Game. Unfortunately, Santa's luck was not with the Wagners this year!!!

Nick still didn't quite grasp the concept of Santa this year. Despite the Santa build-up on Christmas Eve his first question when he came into our room on Christmas morning was the same question he asks every other old morning..."Mommy, can we go downstairs and eat breakfast?" He did get excited when we reminded him that Santa came the night before but he wouldn't go downstairs until we assured him that Santa was NOT down there!!! Too cute. He opened all of this presents very carefully so it took a while and was nice and relaxing. He was certainly very excited to get his coveted "kid's scissors" but his most favorite present of the day? The bag of Swedish Fish in his stocking!!! Chelsea loved to rip the wrapping paper and take every thing that Nick opened out of his hands as soon as it was unwrapped. She hasn't "cooked" anything in her Dora the Explorer kitchen yet but she loves pressing the buttons to hear the noises and Dora talking.

Then it was on to Uncle Pete and Auntie Tara's for Christmas dinner and more presents! We had lots of fun and feel very blessed to have two healthy, beautiful children and wonderful family and friends. Happy New Year to all!!!!

Still in love with the headband and searching frantically for one in these parts. Love the pic of Nick and Chelsea kissing, and Kate was the same as Nick...did not want to come downstairs until we assured her that Santa had left the building. Happy New Year!!! xoxox
