Christmas Day

We were so excited for the kids this Christmas. We had fun picking out their gifts. I've come to the conclusion that at age 0-1, you really could care less, at age 2 you're starting to get it and like it, at age 3 you're really excited about what's coming, and I'm pretty sure at age 4 you will be a pro.

Their stockings. Santa left green nuts (pistachios), candy cane, chap stick and High Five magazine.

 Checking out Santa's gifts. I really thought we would get a bigger response out of Elliot, but I think she was very curious. She warmed up later and really loved all of her presents. If you ask me, Santa was way to generous.

 

Davis really liked Lightning McQueen too. I'm sure it will be passed down to him.

 

She will have so much fun with this art table. Perfect size for her. And there's a magnetic dry erase board underneath with letters.

 Does this thing work?

 

He really took to all of her toys. These skates were the only thing she asked for from Santa.

 

After presents, we went upstairs for a nice big breakfast courtesy of my mom. I realize I should have taken a picture of the food too. We had bacon spinach quiche, sausage egg burritos and cinnamon rolls.

 Cousins have arrived and mayhem is about to ensue.

 

Pillow Pets for everyone!

 

Yes, even you Davis.

 And what do you know? It snowed on Christmas! Elliot was so excited. She said, "It finally snowed in Texas!" I was telling her last week we probably wouldn't see snow because it's too warm in Texas. But the weather Gods showed me.

White Christmas after all.

Although it's pretty exciting getting snow today, I wish Lane was at home instead of at work. He had to go in right as it started snowing and doesn't get off until midnight. By then all the bridges and roads will be really bad. He said he saw 6 wrecks on the way to work. I think I'm going to tell him to sleep there tonight. I will be a nervous wreck!
