Christmas 2010 was definitely one to remember!! The kids were spoiled to death and had a wonderful time! Christmas Eve was a bit hectic due to all the snow that we received while at Grandma and Grandpa's during the day. We came home, barely slid into the garage, popped the kids into their jammies, set out cookies and treats for Santa and his reindeer, and put the kids to bed before mommy and daddy had to get ready for the big show in the morning as well as head outside to scoop 6-7 inches of snow in the driveway (was that a run-on sentence, or what?). It was a long night and by the time all the Christmas excitement wore down a few days later, mommy and daddy were downright pooped!! Oh well, it was all worth it...Our family Christmas was wonderful and we both delighted in seeing the excitement in Alex and Julia's eyes on Christmas morning. It is a wonder... Whether Christmas is more exciting when seeing it through your own eyes as a child or when you see the excitement of Christmas in the eyes of your own children when you're a parent!
Christmas Eve...Setting out treats for Santa and his Reindeer
That is right...We were prepared to feed Santa and his Reindeer!!
Coming Down the Stairs Christmas Morning
Checking Out Their Loot! Both Alex and Julia received tents from Santa. Alex also received his much desired Army Men and an Aircraft Carrier. Julia received her 'purple princess bike helmet' as well as her 'blue necklace', which came with pretty Cinderella gloves and a carriage purse.
Digging Into Their Stockings
Julia showing off her 'blue' necklace, new headband, Cinderella doll, and Cinderella dress.
Alex and one of his presents...and, of course, wearing his new, beloved 'footy pajamas.' Who knew a five year old could care about something so simple?
