...christmas-a-gram

...we spent Christmas Eve at...the kid's gym. We believe Santa is a big fan of physical fitness:

Please note, Santa does not wrap presents with kraft paper and twine. He wraps it in paper the kids will recognize and love...elmo and Charlie Brown:

We got the initial coming downstairs reaction on video versus still camera, but this face from Clara pretty much sums it up:

She was even happier when she was required to taste-test momma's mint merengues at 8 a.m.:

Charlie spent a lot of the morning doing this - passing presents to Clara for her to open. Even his own. Sweet boy:

He still is pretty excited about anything that has the Thomas logo on it, but especially loved this set that came with the choo choo named Charlie (yeah, Santa didn't even realize that. Go Santa!)

Every princess needs a princess coupe:

We then headed over the river and through the woods (that really is true now) to go to gamma and poppy's and then on to our auntie's house.

A little break for some technology cuddling:

I hope you and yours had a day just as special as ours.
