On multiples and mayhem

Everyone was so excited to get up and check out their stockings and see what Santa left for them. After that we had breakfast and then opened our presents.

Don’t they all look cute in their new jammies? As always, we read the Nativity story in the Bible followed by “The Night Before Christmas”. All the while keeping a close eye on Santa’s progress on the NATO Tracks Santa site. The kids hurried off to bed as soon as Santa made it to North America.

We decorated the cookies today that we made yesterday. The kids had fun decorating and then eating some of their creations.

We made Christmas cookies today. The kids had fun and only ate a bit of the dough. We plan to decorate them tomorrow.

We had our annual Christmas ornaments making day today. I love to see the kids incorporate their favorite things into the ornaments they make. This year they made some Harry Potter and Doctor Who ornaments. My favorite is the cute little Dalek the girls made out of clay for me. It is so adorable that I put it on my desk. I don’t think I’ll be packing that one away with the Christmas ornaments come January.
