Merry Christmas!
I'll start with wrapping up Christmas Eve. Sydney found Reece's Captain Underpants books and snuggled down for a good read.
It was just cool enough outside to appreciate a fire in the pit. Jeff even chopped the wood (amazing), and we didn't make a trip to the ER!
Papa taught Syd about frying fish.
And after stuffing ourselves with seafood, we headed back out to roast marshmallows. (Note the Pensacola Beach pants that we had to buy after our morning beach adventure)
With everything being closed and no where to go tomorrow, we helped ourselves to the "Spirits" of Christmas. Poor AGD was the first one passed out for the evening. She's such a lush and a really poor example for Sydney. (This is a funny joke, for those easily offended)
Keeping with tradition, Papa read "The Night Before Christmas" before tucking the kids in. Amazingly, the went to bed fairly quickly despite the anticipation!
Oh, and we sprinkled oats for the reindeer.
Christmas Morning: I think pictures of opening presents are boring, so here are the quick highlights.
Sydney's #1 request-a bed for AGD.
Something she forgot she'd asked for ages ago-a luggage case for AGD. Good thing Santa remembered because she played with it all day!
Brody's #1 request: Skylanders. After this was opened, everything else was anti-climatic.
Here's Jeff putting up AGD's tent. He's no Boy Scout and it took about 20 mins! I'm even less enthusiastic about toy assembly, so I'm grateful that he stuck with it.
Brody's final gift, the wait to play Skylanders is nearly over!
Dad got his gift card in a huge box. It's so simple, yet so funny, when someone thinks you wrapped an empty box for them!
Commence Skylander play. (A few other games were peppered in, but this was pretty much how Brody spent Christmas)
Jeff learned to fly Brody's helicopter and Reece set up his ice hockey rink. (Which I need to remember is a great gift for the kids-they loved it!)
Sydney played with AGD stuff -sums up her day.
Brody played video games - sums up his day.
Oh, some variety-we made jewelry for AGD and her new friends
There was coffee cake and Brody just couldn't believe that I was letting them have cake for breakfast.
Did I mention Brody played some video games today?
It was a very merry Christmas and I continue to be reminded of how blessed we are. I appreciated my children's smiles twice as much and probably spoiled them extra because my heart is still heavy for the families of Sandy Hook. I hope they found some joy in their day.
