Daddy says “memories will last forever, daddy playing Santa by the tree passing out presents”. I woke up a bit early so I could take Zoe for a walk before everyone got up. Everyone got up at the same time. I made breakfast, pancakes, eggs, and sausage. I made Mickey Mouse pancakes and I tried my best to make snowman ones. The kids checked out all the presents. We let them go through their sticking while we finished up breakfast. The kids were so cute this morning. They wanted to stack all their wrapped presents in piles for themselves. Dad played Santa and we passed out presents one at a time. The presents were all opened in a matter of minutes. All the work was worth it! Nicole’s favorite Christmas present was all the stuffed animal dogs and the Alvin stuffed animal. Justin’s favorite was the race track. Dad and I opened the toys and put things together. It was a great morning. Nicole and I went upstairs to play doll house. It ended up all the dolls came out of the dollhouse “outside” to watch her new Alvin perform. The kids spent lots of time putting money in their new banks. We are looking for a good Christmas tradition. So we decided to go to the movies to see Alvin and the Chipmunks-The Squekel. It was terrible, even the kids weren’t so into it. Here is what Bret said
“Since Alvin & Britney are now “close” (and sleeping in the same room), they soon discover the joys of teenage parenthood, with their new baby Chipmunk twins. Next movie: “Alvin & the Chipmunks 3 – The ChipSqueaks”. 20th Century, that one’s MINE!”
Nicole is saying why am I not surprised lately and it is just cracking us up. Plus she is saying let me tell you something. We came home and played outside for a bit. Dad and Justin washed the cars with Justin’s new pressure washer thing. I threw balls for Zoe and then we came inside. However it was too boring inside so we all headed to the park. We went to pirate park and took Zoe with us. The kids spent almost the entire time pretending to feed the birds/ducks. This was done by sprinkling sand into the hedges. When we got home I needed a rest so we turned on the new video, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Choo Choo one. I took a bit of a nap while dad cooked us all dinner. The kids did some new puzzles after dinner and coloring. Both brought their pics into their rooms to hang. We have to come up with a clothes line or something to make it easier to hang the pics. Nicole said opening presents was her favorite part of the day, shocker. Here are some pics from today:
