This year Drew was sooo excited - I think he was more excited about what would happen to his Elf Doodle. As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago we set up a "hidden camera" to catch Santa and Doodle. Drew woke up first thing in the morning and went to the video camera.
Here was that Santa Video if you missed it.
After watching the video on the camera, it was time to get down to business... presents!! First of course was from Santa...
He was pretty excited to see not one, but two light sabers. You know because Daddy needs one too
This is a book he got from my coworker - he's so excited to read it at night (we're reading chapter books at bedtime).
We didn't take as many pictures this year, it was more fun just enjoying our time together and opening gifts. Of course we had to do our annual bury-Drew-in-the-wrapping-paper-and-take-a-picture photo. We've done this to him since he was born!
Christmas Day we went over to Grammy and GrampC's and hung out with the family. Uncle Matt had a wild hair and decided to do a polar plunge in the pool - and we caught the whole thing on video.
Yeah Uncle Matt is crazy. He would've had a partner, but Dave has been sick (found out the next morning he has bronchitis... which adds yet another disease to our household in the past few months).
After the crazy stunt it was time to get down to business. Before opening gifts this year, my mom wanted to restore an old tradition dating back before me... and we read the Christmas story. Well actually Adrina and Drew read the Christmas Story from the Bible.
And then the youngest person in the family (Drew) puts baby Jesus in the Manger.
Afterward we opened presents what felt like for hours. We all made out well but mostly enjoyed our family time.
