Some pictures of our Christmas season:
Getting our tree!
Decorating!
(cocoa break…)
Getting ready for our family photo!
What we ended up with was not bad, considering…
Later, mom showed me how to use Photoshop a little and we did some playing with the picture.
Making our gingerbread house!
Us boys goofing around!
(me pretending to sleep, Kai doing it too…)
Time went by quickly. We enjoyed lots of candy canes, cocoa, went to the zoo lights, drove around looking at lights in neighborhoods, made decorations for the house, watched Christmas specials, and just basically had an amazing month! Even though we’re still waiting for our house to be done and weren’t expecting to still be in this little place, it all worked out really well.
Hey, then it was Christmas Eve! I was surprised it came so quickly. I was just telling mom that it seemed like just yesterday that we started the advent calendar.
Time to open our Christmas Eve presents…
Matching pajamas! (Angry Birds pjs, of course…)
Just getting in a last-minute plug for Santa…
We tried to get Kai to hold up the “Nice” side of the pillow too, but he just wouldn’t.
Put out cookies and milk for Santa. Read The Night Before Christmas. Rushed through bedtime. Turned out the light at an unprecedentedly early hour. Climbed into bed with mom and dad at 2:25. At 2:30, asked what time it was. At 2:35, asked mom if we could get up at 6:00 to start Christmas. Then Dad came back in from re-settling Kai. At 2:40, asked dad if we could get up at 6:00 to start Christmas. Asked what time it was at 2:45. Was told to stay still and stop wiggling. Kicked out of bed by 3.
I nestled snugly back in my bed and dreamed of wonderful things until dad woke me up at 7. Expressed extreme frustration that he hadn’t awoken me earlier. But anyway, Merry Christmas!
