Christmas Eve Gigi came up to stay with us. She and Josh both traveled through the snow after work- it was definitely going to be a white Christmas! Just as we had each year since Rowan had been born, Josh read T'was the Night Before Christmas and we left munchies for Santa on the fireplace. (This was tricky this year with Remi!) This year the cookies were NOT homemade and Mommy forgot the carrots for the reindeer, but Santa was still pleased with what she had to snack on!
Josh was not pleased when Rowan woke up ready to go at around 5:30. I wish I would've had the camera ready to capture Rowan's face as he came downstairs to this Christmas morning! He crawled through the tunnel first (another great IKEA find) then tried out the easel (yes, IKEA again-$15)!! We were so truly blessed this year-opening presents felt like it took forever. Could've been because Rowan opens so carefully and had to read each of the 5 books Santa brought him before moving on to the next gift.
Aside from the tunnel and easel, other favorites were his huge metal Tonka Dump Truck, his soccer ball, his Brown Bear Floor Puzzle, and his train set (I feel like a broken record-IKEA :)
So outside we had the biggest snow that we'd seen in several years. We were completely snowed in. After getting stuck in the snow, then causing Josh to get stuck in the snow when he went down the street to help dig him out, Jared joined us later that morning and the gift opening continued! One of my favorite pictures- our little David Beckham! We will definitely pull this out again when he's playing for the World Cup! He truly impresses us with his ball-kicking skills.
The rest of the day consisted of nothing but eating, playing, and napping. It was perfect and I just can't believe after all the work and planning that it's over!
