Christmas Day

Do you know what promoting healthy foods will get you?  A daughter with her face drawn in close to yours whispering, "The reindeer didn't eat the broccoli sprouts", at 7ish in the morning.  So we sent them off to explore their stockings as a ploy to buy ourselves a bit more time to wake up.

So it was true, the reindeer preferred the usual carrots over the ultra nutritious broccoli sprouts.  And Santa's cut off was at two cookies as the third only had a bite out of it.  He made it through the chimney somehow, we know, because he left the screen drawn open on the fireplace. 

We had a blast opening gifts and enjoying the surprises. Yet, there was one surprise we did not like...glitter!  Glittery wrapping paper leave glitter on the floor and everyone who dares open a glitter clad wrapped gift.  Foil or plain wrap next year.

Thanks to all that gifted our family this year.  Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated!  Although all the presents are being enjoyed, it turns out the shrinky dinks were a real hit with Sophie and Rhys is thrilled with his Play-doh toys most of all.

We spent the day taking off packaging, putting toys together, and playing.  Mom and Dad even got a nap in.  We watched new movies and ate high carb goodness.  It was a very merry Christmas!  Hope yours was too!
