The kids must have been pretty tired since they slept in until 8:00 a.m. Once everyone was up they were allowed past the barrier. The barrier has been a permanent fixture in our house since the time Thomas crept downstairs before anyone else and saw everything that Santa had left.
Passing the 2nd obstacle
Santa decided to leave his offerings by the fire this year
Santa kind of struck out this year. I heard Thomas say 'dang it!' under his breath. While Thomas was glad to have a bike he had wanted a huge Star Wars carrier more. Unfortunately, Santa sometimes has to be practical.
Santa always gives bells to the kids (like in
Poar Express) since they still believe in him.
Zach liked the Twitch he found in his stocking
Everyone was really good about taking turns to open gifts
Spenser made out with a Garmin watch to run with
The aftermath
The kids pretty much stayed like this all afternoon
Thomas did go out and ride his bike. He didn't care for it a whole lot (can you see the face). He said that it was too big. I think that he was just upset that Ryan had got a Razor ride on which was pretty cool that all the other kids in the neighborhood wanted to ride. I tried not to get frustrated when he seemed totally unappreciative of the things he had been given.
We then set the table to eat
We pulled some crackers and wore party hats
We then got to eat desert
After a relaxing day I caught this shot of Spense reading to Olivia.
She loves her new "Olivia forms a band" book.
Thomas got lots of legos that we enjoyed building today.
He has quite the collection forming!
