Christmas was a blast this year. To see that twinkle in your kids' eye is the best! Kelly remembered everything from last year and she made sure that she taught Austin everything she knew. He caught on very quickly and knew all about Santa and his reindeer, but started to understand the real reason why we celebrate! Kelly has started asking questions this year about Jesus so I have started reading more about him to her. This year I tried to make sure that she knew that Santa does what he does because of Jesus.
Even though both kids woke up not feeling well they didn't let that stop them! A few weeks before Christmas we let the kids pick out wrapping paper and we sent it to Santa.
Austin had no problem opening gifts this year, he knew just what to do and was ready to go!
Kelly got even more princess stuff from Santa.
Austin was very excited he got the Thomas that he had asked for.
One of the sweetest moments was watching Kelly open her Rapunzel baby. She has wanted her for a long time and every time we would go to the store we would have to go say hi to her.
They got candy, chips, socks, and toys in their stockings.
Here they are with their loot
Austin also got a car this year. Now he can go driving with Kelly around the neighborhood.
Austin loves his new train tracks. He spent the whole day going from track to track. Choo! Choo! All aboard!
Kelly's favorite thing from Santa is her Leappad 2. I would recommend getting one of these. She has so much fun and is learning at the same time! She can take pictures with it, video, read, play learning games etc. I find her practicing writing her letters most of the time on it.
Since it was just us Jacob cooked a small, but very yummy, meal for dinner. We had ham, mashed potatoes, home made mac and cheese, rolls, and cheesecake (Jesus' birthday cake) for dessert.
After dinner it was back to playing. Look at my little Mommy!
This Christmas was so much fun. It just gets better every year! I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
