We had a wonderful Christmas day. Relaxed and fun. The kids weren’t even up that early. Actually what was funny was that Grant and I were up before they were. It cracked me up. We’ve never been able to wait!
Ethan was thrilled to open his stocking stuffers and was very excited to find a little Buzz Lightyear. He’s a little obsessed with Toy Story 3. Santa also put that in his stocking. It was a good morning for him, until…
Connie and Kyler were divvying out presents and found the ultimate “made his Christmas” present. A large Buzz. He immediately dropped the little one and ran for the big one. It was funny.
Kyler had a good Christmas as well, lots of legos. The Legos were very important. He didn’t get quite what he’d asked for from Santa, but did from Nana and Grumpy!
A Nintendo DS. He was very happy and excited to get started playing it. Connie’s response was really funny. She was really upset that he’d gotten one. Now, we open our presents in age order so she had not yet opened her present and it hadn’t occurred to her that maybe one of hers was a DS as well. Of course, it didn’t help that Mommy wrapped them and purposely took it out of it’s original box and put it in an odd shaped one! We just let her sweat it out. LOL
Here she is opening one of her more loved gifts…an art set with markers, crayons, pencils, the works!
And the moment she’s been waiting for! The Nintendo DS from Nana and Grumpy Lopez. You’d think she would be thrilled and jumping up and down. Instead she said “Finally”. Geez!
Family came over and we commenced a very long game of Phase 10 twist. It is actually a really fun game, it just takes a while if you don’t stop chatting and actually play when it is your turn.
This is one of my favorite pictures of the day, so I had to share. The siblings of my family got together and got my dad a Kindle Reader. He was so excited, which made it totally worth it. So, here are two of my favorite men on this earth playing with their electronic toys! I love it!!
We got Ethan some puppets because CLEARLY he loves them! Isn’t he cute?!?
