I was amazed – on Christmas morning I was the only one up at 7:30am! In fact, we woke Brennan up at 8:30am and he was still sound asleep! It didn’t take long to it to register with him what day it was…..
What was also funny is that Brennan ran straight for the tree and didn’t even notice his ‘santa presents’ that were unwrapped under his stocking. He almost stomped right over them when he finally thought about his stockings.
His santa list was:
1. Helicopter
2. Bey Blades – which are kind of like tops – there are different parts you piece together to try and craft the bey blade that wills pin the longest and ‘knock out’ competitors. I really lucked out with these. We were in my favorite consighment shop and a lady walked in with 6 bey blades in a carrying case and an ‘arena’ for them to battle in – I told the ladies in a hushed voice that I definitely wanted them – and I got them for $15 – vs retail price of ~$75.
3. Red Suitcase. Brennan had seen this suitcase in Costco and just really wanted it….enough for him to put it on his Santa list. Unfortunately, they were sold out here by the time we got around to getting presents. Luckily, they were still in stock in Helena, so Nana played Santa for us. On Christmas Day when we talked to Nana she mentioned to Brennan that Santa must have gotten confused and delivered a package to MT on accident. He totally bought it and was over the moon excited to open it when we got to MT on the 27th.
Caelan’s Santa gift was Baby Stella……she was very pleased.
both kids were very excited to get new headphones. Caelan wanted them opened right away….and this is where she sat for at least a 1/2 hour.
I thought this scene was so funny. Notice the boys very intent in the background and Caelan doing her thing with her iPod.
We spent the rest of Christmas Day packing for our road trip to MT the next day. After dinner we did go and look at Christmas lights in Issaquah and found some great gems.
It was a great Christmas Day with just the four of us, but I did miss having more people to share in our holiday cheer(*hint, hint, to the grandparents, brothers, sisters, etc*)
