Christmas Day!

Around 2am or so Bishop ran into our room and crazily and excitedly wanted to know if Santa had come!! We assured him that Santa was on his way and it was the middle of the night. He was, of course, the first one up in the morning. Since Nora's a little more of a sleeper, we let Bishop go downstairs when he got up to get his presents and we let Nora sleep. Bishop had asked many times for a Ninja Turtle and a Dragon.....however, on Christmas morning he realized the Ninja Turtle wasn't exactly what he wanted.....and I think he was pretty bummed at first about the "dragon" he got. He made sure I knew it was a dinosaur and not a dragon! 

Nora on the other hand was delighted with her gifts from Santa--a baby and a house for her baby (a princess castle/house). After Nora was up we let them open their gifts from us.....that helped Bishop--he got a bunch of transformers so he could play transformers vs his Dragon (or Dinosaur)! ;) Our Christmas morning got off to a little rocky start--thankfully we got back on track and enjoyed the rest of our day together!

We had absolutely no plans on Christmas Day, which has never happened, so we enjoyed our time together as a family! Last year we went cross country skiing on the lake and I had visions of doing that again this year.....except there was NO snow and it was warm enough for some of the ice to start melting......so we went for a bike ride/walk instead! The kids were exhausted and it was a good time for a little nap for them. We had lots of time to play with new toys and relax together. After our walk we had some fun appetizers for dinner and hung out together as a family! Merry Christmas everyone!

Bishop loves his new tool bench from Nana and Papa!

Nora wore her giggly baby in her bjorn and zipped her coat over it on our walk!

A bike ride on Christmas Day--crazy!!

Such sweethearts!
