Santa Came!

Santa found us at Nannie’s house this year! We even let the grown-ups sleep past 7am before opening presents!

Ben wasn’t quite ready to get up after our late night out the night before, so he was a bit grumpy when present opening started…

94

95

But his first stocking stuffer brought him right around…

98

Emily wasn’t too thrilled when her first stocking stuffer was HOMEWORK!

99

But a few books she liked and some floating princesses changed her spirits around!

Abby always loved her toothbrush Smile

Everyone couldn’t wait for Ben to open his real, live chocolate Thomas eggs! He watches these You Tube videos all the time, and he finally got his very own chocolate eggs with a little toy train inside!

Our little chef loved her own wisk and spatula!

115

She was even more excited to see her Santa gift…

116

Her very own Master Chef coat with her name on it!

117

She even got her own kid-sized oven mitts and a REAL knife set for kids! Get ready for some creative cooking happening in our house!

119

Emily’s Santa gift was shipped from the North Pole directly!

120

Emily has been asking for a bird, and while we don’t think this is what she had in mind, it was a hit!

122

Santa brought everyone their own suitcase! Now there was somewhere for Mommy to keep everyone’s stuff!

123

Nannie & Grandpa got us our very own barware for when we play at their bar! We love them, and Mommy loves that they have to stay there!

124

Ben got a second train set, but will be thrilled to have one to play with at Nannie & Grandpa’s house now!

125

Emily asked for one thing from her catalog searches, and Nannie came through!

127

Abby’s one catalog item wish was fulfilled too! Thanks Nannie & Grandpa!

132

She also got an awesome cutting board to go with all of her cooking stuff!

133

Ben played for HOURS with Nannie & Grandpa’s gift! It was a BIG hit!

134

135

136

The nerf guns were fun too!

137

139

Daddy even got one on Grandpa’s light… That won’t be coming down anytime soon!

140

What a wonderful, but exhausting Christmas morning!

141

Abby’s getting great at learning Mommy’s camera, and got a good picture of their Christmas morning shirts!

143

Ben found one Santa that he likes, and thanked him for all the awesome gifts! I supposed a Santa that is smaller than you is just not that threatening!
