Christmas Morning

We are very lucky to have all of our Christmas celebrations within about an hour of our house.  This allows us to always have Christmas morning at home with just our family.   It was a really fun year with Kamden.  He knows who Santa is but doesn't quite understand what Santa means.  I am sure next year will be even more exciting.

I didn't know that Santa is "supposed" to bring the "big" gift.  I don't really know who sets those standards... and not sure I will stick with them but, this year Santa filled Kam's stocking with cooking tools to help Mommy in the kitchen and a harmonica.  This kid thinks the harmonica is hilarious and he loves to help cook in the kitchen.   In fact, today I asked if he wanted to help me cook dinner and he ran to the pantry to find his new tools and helped me cook the entire time I was making dinner. 

Brody got some toys that he had not yet seen of Kamden's and a new play mat.  Yes, we put used toys in our child's stocking.  In our defense... we spent a lot more on the play mat than we did for Kamden for his first Christmas.  

Kamden opened some new matchbox cars... apparently you can never have enough of these.

Little did he know, a big present went with those cars.  In fact, the present was about as tall as him!

It is a 3 story garage for his cars.  It includes a car wash, gas station, elevator, ramp, etc.  Lots of fun for this kiddo!

It was a fun, relaxed morning.  In the past, Joe makes me banana crepes but there was no time for it this year.  We had to get packed up and headed to Grandpa & Grammy's house!  (post on Xmas day to come)
