In the weeks before Christmas, Nathan put together several of his own presents for Caroline. They were a bit interesting, but Caroline enjoyed opening them.
He also made one (or two maybe) for Sara. Yep...a thread spool. Sara had fun with it, so I suppose that's all that matters.
Nathan got a couple books and couldn't wait to get into them. Caroline got a couple books and Nathan couldn't wait to get into them. This particular one is Nathan's.
I had fun making some Christmas presents this year. Caroline got a chef hat and apron. (It's already been used several times for real cooking in addition to all the pretend play.)
Sara got a fun animal poppers toy. She really enjoys closing them!
All three kiddos in the midst of the festivities.
Nathan's favorite gift of the morning was really bright flashlight "like Daddy's". Good thing I found one Christmas Eve at a decent price!
And Caroline loved her purple hat with fluffy balls on the ends and top. Due to the crazy cold weather we've been having, it's seen a lot of use.
Nathan got his first ever video game. It's Nintendogs to play on Daddy's DS. It's all about raising a dog - playing, cleaning, training, etc. He named the dog "Lucky". It's funny to hear him sitting around calling "Luuuuckyyyyy".
So...that is our Christmas morning in pictures. What I didn't mention is that we started the morning with donuts. We read the Christmas story from the Bible and acted it out with Caroline's nativity scene. Then, we did presents. Once presents were done, we had our second breakfast - pancakes and french toast sticks. Yummy! And then we spent the rest of the day hanging out, playing with our new gifts, and enjoying being together.
