Matt and Camie were so great to have us for Christmas and let us join in with their family and for anyone who knows Camie she is a GREAT entertainer. We never lacked good food or conversation. We also never saw our kids because Lucy was too busy with Lydia and Ethan instantly clicked with Clayton.
Our first day in Minnesota we went to Macy's to see the greatest display of Santa's Workshop. We walked around and saw what the elves keep busy doing. It was pretty magical.
Here is a picture of the elves trying to get some sleep. Cute - huh!!!
The kids loved decorating sugar cookies. Lucas just kept globbing the frosting on. He was in heaven!!
Lucy and Lydia decorating cookies. (Notice the winter wonderland in the background. Like I said, Minnesota is the COLDEST place on earth!!!)
Ethan and Clayton are great friends. They had so much fun together!!
We had a talent show on Christmas Eve. The kids did lots of different things. Lydia recited "Twas the Night before Christmas", Lucy played a piano song, Ethan did summer salts, Clayton sang a song, and Lucy and Lydia sang together. Everything was very cute!!
Clayton singing a song with his antlers - too cute!
At the end of the talent show we all played bells to Christmas music
After dinner we enjoyed acting out the Christmas story. The kids really got into it and had fun.
Then it was the traditional P.J. time. The kids opened their Pajamas from grandma and grandpa. Thanks to my wonderful sister - in - laws (camie and Liz) I got a snazzy pair of P.J.'s too!!! (Can you get a tackier pair of P.J's - oh and yes, they are feet pajamas with a giant zipper. I felt like a GIANT wearing them and didn't stay in them too long!!!)
Christmas morning was lots of fun. Here is Lucas showing off his new ball. He was mostly interested in ripping open everybody's presents. He loved tearing the paper!
Santa gave Lucy and Ethan scooters. They LOVE them
