CHRISTMAS

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. On Christmas Eve, Collin & I made Christmas Tree Sugar Cookies for Santa. Before Collin went to bed we left a plate of cookies & a glass of mik for Santa and we scattered some Reindeer Food (aka birdseed) outside for the reindeer. On Christmas morning, Tony & I woke up early (guess we were excited to see what Santa left... ha ha) and we waited for Collin to wake up. Thinking he would wake up at his usual 6:30am, he actually slept in & we had to wake him up. So we wake him up & Tony tells him that he heard the reindeer on the roof. Collin looks out his window & says that he heard the reindeer too. So we all walk down to see what Santa left.

This year, Collin's only request to Santa was to bring him a remote control truck with big wheels. Santa went the extra mile & brought him a Batman bike with matching Batman safety helmet & pads. As Collin opened the bag with the bike, he sees the logo and says "A BATMAN BIKE" - he was so excited. He had so much fun opening all of the gifts. He would pull out a gift & ask if it was for him - we would tell him yes & say who it was from & he would say "THANK YOU" before he even opened it. It was so cute. When he opened his telescope from Peggy & Art, he said "This is just what I wanted." The mystery gift was a dinosaur BC builders set from Mom & John. All week when he shook the box, it made noises & he would try and guess what it was. As he opened it, he said "LOOK, it's not a firetruck - it's BC BUILDERS." It was funny. All in all we had a great Christmas, ate too much food & lounged around doing nothing - it was a perfect Christmas.
