Merry Christmas! It wasn’t quite the Christmas we had planned. Originally, Oma, Grandpa and Mimi were supposed to be here but the winter storm put an end to that. But we still had a nice day just the four of us. Jameson woke up at 5:15 and woke up Evelyn asking her what time it was. They waited till 6 to come downstairs and start some legos. Nate and I came down at 6:30 because it’s Christmas. I made donuts for breakfast and then we opened presents.
Santa brought new socks for everyone in their stocking.
Evelyn and Jameson have been asking to read Harry Potter. Nate and I agreed we could start the first book over Christmas break. I found book 1 and 2 wonderfully illustrated at Target. Hopefully the illustrator will do the whole series.
Jameson opened a box with a few new shirts and was unimpressed as Christmas isn’t about clothes. But then he opened his new sweater. I have one almost exactly the same but in green and the first time I wore mine, he wanted one to match.
A slinky! So simple but they were so excited. In fact, none of their gifts required batteries this year.
Nate found the popdarts; kind of a cross between darts and bocce ball. It’s fun because they suction to various surfaces.
Evelyn got a loom that makes pot holders. But she said her favorite gift was the zip line she got from Jameson for her marble run.
Jameson said his favorite gift was the mini basketball hoop Evelyn gave him.
I got a new coffee maker, more corn for the squirrels, new dish clothes and towels but my favorite was my new Fort Wayne Komets t-shirt. Nate got a kindle, new bike bibs (his favorite) and a Yeti can kookie. There were a few other gifts in there, but the important thing was we were together and we had fun.
