Christmas Day

This year we celebrated Christmas day at home. Santa made his stop and the kids enjoyed playing with their new toys all morning long. We made a turkey lunch and Grandma S joined us. The kids had a wonderful day just playing and lounging in their Christmas pajamas.
Santa came! Checking out the loot.

One of the only smiles Mason would give me all day! I still think he is handsome :)

Christmas Eve

Autumn pushed the chair to the door, climbed up, and was trying to open the closet door. Very clever :)

Mason in his Christmas pajamas and very excited!

Santa on the Firetruck

Last Friday Santa came through our neighborhood on a firetruck! We got home about 7 and we were nervous that we missed him, seeing how they started at 6:30. After a few minutes, we heard the firetrucks. They were at the end of the main street. Robert and I decided to walk in that direction just in case we missed them on our street. As we got closer they turned down the other main street. We thought we would miss them! So we ran down a side street hoping to cut them off. We made it -whew! The kids got to see Santa and both firetrucks and ambulance. At that point we discovered they were heading back towards our house. We walked up another street and the kids got round 2. This time they got candy canes. At this point, we decided to head back to the house thinking they had not gone down our street. We did see Santa once more, but he was turning down the other part of our street. We actually did miss him on our street so we are glad we ran to the other part of the neighborhood.
Yes - we are those crazy parents that ran through the nieghborhood so our kids could see Santa on the firetruck!
You can kinda see the firetruck in the background.



Patiently waiting for Santa to come back...
