We had a beautiful white Christmas. The snow had been around for a while, but stayed long enough so we could have a white Christmas. Sam and Jackson had both been sick, so Jackson slept in bed with us part of the night and Sam came in about 7:30 and woke us up. When asked about whether or not he thought Santa had come to our house, Sam replied, "No. I forgot to leave cookies out for him." So Brandon brought the boys down in their new PJs to see if Santa had left us anything under the tree. To Sam's delight Santa had come and also left stockings (Brandon's attempt to redeem the fact that I haven't finished or bought any stockings yet.)
We had our traditional cinnamon rolls before opening presents. Brandon's parents spent the night and opened presents. It was fun to have them spend Christmas morning with us.
Jackson loved playing with the wrapping paper and I am sure he would have gotten the idea of ripping the paper off if given the opportunity, but Sam would offer to help and opened everything for him. Jackson got some toys, jumperoo, bath toys and an outfit. The bathtub is his new favorite playground.
Sam loved opening presents and was soaking everything up. He knows how to spell his name, S-A-Am, so he was looking for it on all the labels. He loves that Santa still gave him the couple of things that asked for regardless of not leaving out cookies. And promises to do better next year. Sam received a motion control car (remote control), leapster game system, coloring books, a fishing pole and some socks (to which he BOOed. Thanks Nicole!)
Brandon got a new Wacom Tablet so we wrapped up his old one for Sam who wanted a "pencil like his dad." I had them open them at the same time and as Brandon opened his and Sam saw what Brandon was getting he lost interest in opening his own and watching Brandon. He was so excited to get his own.
