Since winter has finally hit

Today is frigid and cloudy and snowy and that got me thinking about Christmas and the fact that the weather then was the opposite of what it is now.  So with that, here are a few snapshots of our Christmas.  It was a quiet Christmas and it was also the first time that my parents have been to our house for Christmas breakfast and for the opening of the presents.

Christmas Day in Pictures

 Coming out of the bedrooms way earlier than I wanted them to.  Obviously they disagreed.

 Anticipation mounts

 Total Excitement

 Wahoo!!

Two cute brothers in crazy alien monster jammies.

 

 Let the Bey Blades battle begin!

Tiger got his beloved General Grievous.  This Christmas was officially a success.

Breakfast with Santa

It was a cold and frosty Saturday morning and we thought what better way to start the day than to have Breakfast with Santa at the local YMCA. We munched on pancakes and sausage and orange juice. It was rather tasty. Sparky even managed to get a little pancake in his mouth along with his syrup. After we ate, the kids joined in a little Christmas story and singing time.

Finally it was time to see the big guy. But since the line was a bit long, the boys killed the time by cruising around the gym. Actually it was rather cool. The "Y" had tumbling mats set up, and a little basketball hoop as well as the tricycles to ride. I had to drag Tiger away from all of that fun stuff to sit on Santa's lap.

So here they are, sitting on scary eyebrow Santa's lap telling him all of their hearts desires. Only time would tell if those wishes came true.
