We spent a fun, quiet, snowless Christmas at home this year. On Christmas Eve we realized church was at 9 AM and not at 11 like we had thought so we quickly decided to open presents after church and hope the kids would sleep in a bit. Miles went to bed nervous about the big man in the red suit coming into our house. He likes Santa, but the thought of a strange man coming into the house while he is sleeping was a little scary. At least we didn’t let him watch the Grinch this year. Last year he was worried the green monster would come and steal his presents after Santa came. We (Miles & I) decided I would meet Santa outside and bring in the presents so he wouldn’t have to actually come in the house. So after the kids were nestled all snug in their beds I stayed up and intercepted Santa at the door.
The kids did sleep in a bit and we were off to church bright and early. It was actually a really nice way to start off Christmas. The choir sang and there were some great speakers. We got home and the kids tore into everything. It took Wes about 2 seconds to figure out what was going on. Wes scored on everything elephant, Miles was a fan of his watch from the $ store and Ian spent the day listening to tunes on his MP3 player. My parents came bringing round two of the gifts and stayed for a late lunch of take and bake pizza (note to self this was the easiest and yummiest Christmas dinner ever). We lounged around the table while the kids played with all their new toys and spread Legos all over the house. Hope you all had a Merry One too.
