We had a really great Christmas this year. I really love the fun traditions that we have started. Nothing in the world could be better than Christmas with small children. It is so awesome to see the magic in their eyes as they talk about our elves, Santa, reindeer, etc. We had several rounds of presents this year, starting with Gramma and Papa Krouse's on the 22, Gramma and Papa Haug's on Christmas Eve after Breakfast with Santa, and our family gifts on Christmas Eve night. Jenny came over to watch the kids open presents and to have Christmas Eve dinner with us (mussels and wine, yum!) before I headed off to midnight mass. Then we had a fun Christmas morning playing with our presents from Santa, before getting dressed and heading up to Wisconsin for Christmas dinner and more fun!
Cuties getting ready to open presents!
They both made reindeer food at school, and had a great time sprinkling it on the lawn.
Heading down the stairs on Christmas morning.
Someone was a little sleepy, but perked right up when she saw what Santa brought!
Plasma cars from Santa. So much fun!
Working on her stocking.
New piano! Don't mind his stocking that says Baby's First Christmas 2008 and has a picture of Ollie on it. Grandma Haug makes the kids their own stockings on their first Christmas, so we knew he would be getting one later in the day that we can use from now on!
Look at this cool ball! (Or EOS chapstick...)
So much fun!
