We had our first Christmas in our own home.. kids went to sleep in their own beds.
Zoe got into Christmas this year, but she was still a child in training. We put our cookies and milk for Santa and a carrot for the reindeer.. When she got up, she went to the table and said, "Oh No! Mom!"... she was very sad, worried.. all of the cookies were gone. I told her that is why we set them out, for Santa to eat. I thought it interesting that was her reaction.. I never pictured it that way.
Nana called us at 7:30.. worried we had forgotten her.. but we were still sleeping.. The kids woke up at 8:30.. we started on presents with Nana and Grandpa watching on video for about an hour. We unwrapped really slowly.. the last present was unwrapped at noon.
Zoe received several wands, a tiara, hair barrets, box of dress up clothes, little pans and rolling pins, apron, fairy dress-up puzzle like thing, and the biggest thing was the Imaginex Princess Swan Castle, Barn, Carriage and lots of figures. She also got a Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty dolls and Tinkerbell. As well as Playdoh, drawing pads, paper. Games: Don't Break the Ice, Cooties, Hi Ho Cherrio.
It was a wonderful day, very easy going, relaxing.
We spent Boxing Day in the same way.. enjoying Croissant breakfast sandwiches, burrito lunch, hot chocolate, home made gingerbread cookies... Playing games with the kids.. watching videos.
