Christmas North, Part I

Click here to watch a video of the kids checking out the lights from when we put up the tree. I don’t think I linked to this one at the appropriate time, I’ll need to move it later — consider it a bonus!

December 18th, and we had an early visit from Santa, as well as Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia! And Nina had a visit from something that made her not feel very good. She was throwing up that morning.

Click here to watch a video of the Ian finding presents under the tree! We DID get a visit from Santa!!! If you listen carefully you can hear Ian asking Mommy to hold the handrail on the way down the stairs, he says “Who lefted those?” and “Who gave us those?” (He was pretty sure that Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia dropped off those presents, but we explained that they hadn’t quite arrived yet! Shortly thereafter they pulled up to the house, but I want to mention that Ian was a VERY good boy and patiently waited. He may have been busy eating cinnamon buns though, not sure!)

It was time to open presents, and Ian was excited and happy to tear into things! See this image larger.

Some cool band-aids! See this image larger.

A cool mini snow globe that glowed many different colors! It even said “I-A-N” on it! He ran that puppy out of batteries in one day! See this image larger.

Grandma Marcia shows Ian a big new book! See this image larger.

Bristle Blox were a big hit, and Ian began engineering some fun stuff right out of the package! See this image larger.

I may have mentioned Nina wasn’t feeling well, poor little girl! *Ungh, I said ‘no pictures,’ Daddy.* See this image larger.

More soon!
