We had a wonderful (relatively) quiet Christmas at home with the kids this year. On Christmas Eve morning we did our usual Saturday routine of BodyPump at the gym and then bagels at Panera. Later that day we went to church and then made cookies for Santa. Alia didn't nap that day (too much excitement) which actually worked out beautifully because she fell right asleep and Santa was able to arrive right on schedule.
Making forts with Daddy
Douglas Family gingerbread house experiment 2011 - Mommy and Daddy put the frosting on, applied candies, Max moved all the candies and Alia ate all the candies. A good time was had by all!
Alia was kind enough to volunteer to taste test one of Santa's cookies. She wanted to make sure they were extra delicious before choosing some to leave out for him!
The kids must have been VERY good this year!
Definitely one of their favorite gifts of the day was this ride-on toy from Nana and Sir. It was really for Max, but around here everything is shared.
Max was very good and very into helping open presents. Next year we are going to have to strap him to a chair or something!
Another one of the surprise favorite gifts of the day was this silly and very adorable little snoring pig from Lyndey (the kids great-step-aunt if you want to get technical). Again, it was really for Max, but Alia has taken over all of the duties of caring for him.
Both kids got ridiculously adorable hats from Gaga. Max's was a sock monkey ... PERFECT!
