Christmas Day

The kids woke up around 6:30 Christmas morning and were super excited to see if Santa came.  And he did!  He left each of us an unwrapped present.  When Kherington saw that Santa didn't wrap the present she wanted to know if we could tell him to wrap them up next year.

Santa brought Kherington a kitchen and Kevin a basketball hoop (which he calls a soccer hoop) plus a tin full of popcorn for each of them, Mickey and Minnie candy fans, pistachios, m&ms and a couple other treats/presents in their stockings.

We kids played for awhile before deciding they wanted to open presents.  The funniest present opening happened when Ryan handed Kherington a robot to unwrap and Kevin a bus (even though we got the me each a robot).  Kevin wanted nothing to do with the bus and wanted Kherington to hand over her robot.  Haha.  It was even hard to get him to unwrap the next present (his robot).


As soon as we finished unwrapping presents, Ryan and I got to work unpacking.  Ryan definitely made tracks while I had a nap and took some breaks. I was really just trying to avoid unpacking the kitchen.  I have a lot of kitchen stuff and our apartment kitchen is pretty small.  Even with the help of our two large white storage cabinets I knew trying to find a home for everything was going to be quite a challenge.  As I unpacked the kitchen boxes the kids would take all the wrapping paper and jump in the box to smash it all down.

We headed out to the Parente's for some fun family time and delicious Christmas chimichangas.  The kids all ran around together, chased dogs, dance and just had a good time together.  I really need to work on finding Kevin and Kherington some more playmates.  We didn't stay too late since we had a little more unpacking to do and still need to get ready to head to Houston in the morning.  Hopefully we'll be able to get some games in another time.
