The kids were pretty happy with Santa's work this year. Santa brought Maddie some dress up fancy high heel shoes. She put them on immediately and with a smile, told me, "Now I can go to church!" That made us both laugh. She enjoyed her airport too.
Jacob got some lovely rattles, a teether and a set of coins for his birth year.
Ben was extremely specific and gave Santa quite a task to find an airport that would fulfill all his expectations. It had to have a big airplane with the top that came off to put people in and the belly open up for luggage. He needed a luggage truck and trailer to pull behind, baggage claim in the airport, the truck with the stick that helps planes back out of the gate and several other VERY specific things. Luckily, Santa knows all about ebay and delivered a fantastic airport with lots of accessories.
Of course, I called it with Ben, a.k.a. Mr. Negative. It took a few minutes longer than I thought, but one of his first observations about his airport was that it was lacking the steps/conveyor belt to load the luggage into the belly of the airport. Sometimes Santa just can't do it all. Luckily, he seems to be over it now.
Both Maddie and Ben were so excited and involved in their airport and stocking stuffers from Santa that we couldn't get them focused on unwrapping presents. After a while we stopped trying and decided to let them play and enjoy for a while. Brian and I went and made a first class breakfast. We had scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, juice and the works. It was super yummy.
After breakfast we got them to unwrap the presents under the tree. They really loved ripping the paper and playing with all the new loot. They got several games from their cousins, baby doll stroller, movies, walkie talkies and a few other things. Thanks to Santa, friends and family for all the great stuff this year.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
