Christmas Day

The kids slept late after a fun Christmas Eve party at the C's. Evyn woke first, and insisted that I get Andrew up so they could spy their stash together.

She was overjoyed when she ran into the living room and found evidence that Santa had visited!

Both kids loved the kitchen set that Santa brought for them. Hands-down, Andrew's favorite gift was the vacuum cleaner. Not even a chocolate-filled candy cane could convince him to put down the vacuum:


Later in the afternoon we went to Grams & Pops' house. Evyn crashed on the sofa- it took a while to get her to wake up and open gifts!

Dear Santa,

Christmas tree shopping

Last weekend we took advantage of the weather and
let the kids pick out our Christmas tree.

It was a slow start, with Evyn being indecisive
and Andrew being a bit too mellow.






Eventually, we picked "the perfect tree."
The kids posed with their find before cutting it down:




Back at home, we decorated while Andrew napped.
