On Christmas Eve we all got loaded up and headed out to Mimi and Papa's house. The whole gang was there. When we all arrived we went ahead and opened presents. The boys were spoiled big time by Mimi and Papa. They got more than any kid needs in a lifetime just in one night.
It is so fun now that Nathan is old enough to really enjoy everything that goes along with Christmas. Nolan seems to be more open to it all since he sees how much fun Nathan has. After lots of fun and food it was getting late and we had to get home for Santa!
We changed the boys into their pajamas and headed home. When we got home Nolan was worn out so he went straight to bed. Nathan was also tired but he had to get Santa some cookies and milk first. He went up to the counter and picked out some goodies from the desserts I had made that day. Lucky Santa got two brownie bites and a blueberry scone , ha ha h aha.
We put his goodies by the fireplace so he could get them as soon as he came through the chimney. Before we tucked him in Daddy tracked Santa on the computer so we could see how close he was. He was in Brazil and headed our way! We had to get to bed quick.
Once his little head hit the pillow he passed out! This worked out perfect since Santa's helpers were tired too.
The next morning Mimi and Papa got here before the boys were even awake!!! Kyle had to eventually go upstairs and wake them up . They were just so worn out from the night before.
When Nathan got up he saw that his elf Charlie was in his Christmas tree and had brought him some little gifts for being such a great roommate while he stayed with us.
He headed downstairs where all the excitement began again! We opened and opened and opened some more. Nolan was getting in on all the fun going from toy to toy .
After all of the toys were opened we called Nathan outside because Mimi and Papa had run into Santa on the way to our house. He had a present for Nathan they had to bring with them.
It was the one thing he asked for every time we saw Santa, every letter we wrote Santa and pretty much any time someone brought up what he thought Santa would bring him.................... A Lightning Mcqueen!!!!!.
It was just what he has wanted and I know it is why he has been so good while Charlie was here. He knew what he had to do to get this little treasure! It is so fun to see how excited they get and almost can't believe their eyes. It was so cold outside so tough Daddy took him for a cruise around the block.
When they got back we sat down and had some special Christmas Eggnog French toast and egg casserole. I am pretty sure this was Nolan's favorite part of the day! He ate and ate and ate and then it was time for his nap . I have a feeling in his book Christmas could not have gone better,
After naps and some more playing we loaded up and went to Kathy and Richards house for a nice Christmas dinner with everyone.
I could never in a million years imagine a more perfect Christmas with my beautiful guys big and small!
