We had a lovely Christmas this year. Charlotte talked about her Christmas program for weeks and was so excited that Gibby and Miss Laura could come watch it with us! Like always she sang with passion and gave it her all. It was a really cute program and it was fun to be able to see her at her class Christmas party.
This year the kids were a little more reluctant to talk to Santa, but we gave C a pep talk and she led O up holding hands. We enjoyed looking at the fish like we have in years past and got to see some up close.
Christmas cookies are a must and the kids and Jay had a blast decorating them. Ollie put edible google eyes on every single cookie he decorated. Jay and Charlotte were a little more deliberate about their cookie designs. We left some of these cookies out for Santa and he seemed to really enjoy them!
We had a great Christmas morning, we slept in until 7:30 and just had a very relaxing morning. I think we must have the slowest gift openers in America! The kids wanted to check out the cookies and milk from Santa, give the pets their presents and hand out the present C made us at school before they even thought about opening their own. Once they got started opening presents they were still pretty slow. Opening one at a time and playing with each toy as they went. We finally got to enjoy our North Pole Breakfast that Santa left us, Ollie must have had six doughnuts!
We are looking forward to 2016 and hoping it is as great a year as 2015 was!
