I can hardly wait for the years when kids are jumping on my bed to wake me up for Christmas morning, begging to go downstairs to see if Santa has come. Bundling everyone up to go outside for afternoon sledding after the presents have been opened. Naps by the fire holding snuggly kids exhausted by the day's excitement. But that was not this year. In fact, this is how Christian spent his first Christmas morning, sound asleep in the hallway in the basement after a restless Christmas Eve night in his port-a-crib.
He did eventually make an appearance after all the gifts had been opened and the toys picked up. Christian got some sweet toys, like an animatronic Elmo and Mickey Mouse, blocks, an activity table, and much more. The most fun thing on each, of course, was the tag. Go figure. We had a really fun time at Aunt Jen's. Here are some shots of the festivities. The cousins in their new jammies

that picture of Allie and Christian is especially cute! Added note - that Mickey Mouse sings and does the Hot Dog Dance. Yes, Elmo Chicken Dance will work eternally. Trevor thought it was hilarious just today - think we had to play it 3 times...

Oh, and I forgot to add - we had more snow in LOP in December than you did! It was AMAZING!
