We went home late and got the kids in bed and then got ready for Santa. I was really tired, but so grateful that I wrapped all the presents before Dylan was born. Kate slept in until almost 9am, which she never does, but we were grateful. We had so much fun watching Kate on Christmas morning. She was really excited that Santa had come and brought her presents.
Kate's favorite presents were her new dollhouse and dress up clothes, but she loved all her presents. Kate loves to play, she loves toys or anything that she can use as a toy. She loves to pretend and she is very creative with all of the random objects she comes across. She was in heaven will all the new stuff.
Dylan slept while we opened presents. Me, being the exhausted mom that I was, didn't even get a picture of Dylan at home on Christmas since he was sleeping in his crib while we opened the presents. Fortunately I at least got some pictures of him later that day and my parents' house.
After we opened our presents at our house and ate a Norwegian pancake breakfast, we headed up to my parents' house. We spent the rest of the day hanging out and playing in the snow. Obviously Dylan and I didn't spend any time in the snow, but Kate and Sean spent a lot of time outside playing in the snow with my brothers and sister-in-law. Kate played out in the snow for over 2 hours. She was such a trooper. It was so cold outside but she just didn't want to come in, she was having too much fun. We were finally able to get her to come in, she was exhausted. She has been boycotting her naps lately, so she hadn't had a nap. We went home around 6pm and she fell asleep on the drive home (my parents only live a mile away!). We tried waking her when we got home and she would not wake up, she was completely exhausted! We decided to just put her in bed and hope she slept through the night. Much to our surprise, she did! We had a great Christmas!
