We had another wonderful Christmas this year. We started it off over the weekend by baking some yummy Christmas cookies. Kyler helped decorate a few at the end and he was pretty proud of his work.
He even frosted the one on the bottom right all by himself.
Sunday night we went to Great Grandma Rita's and had Christmas with my mom's side of the family. We had lots of different soups and tons of desserts. Kyler was pretty excited to open his first gift of the season and he enjoyed spending time with his second cousins.
Santa had come when we woke up Christmas morning. Nothing too extravagant but the elves did make a homemade play kitchen for Kyler and Myelle. Santa also left all kinds of fire engine decor for Kyler's bedroom and a couple of books for the kids.
Our stockings were full of candy canes and other candy. Kyler's had some letter and number flashcards too.
On Christmas afternoon we went over to Grandma and Papa's house to open gifts. Grandma found a transportation themed stamp set for Kyler and he loves it. We had a yummy prime rib dinner that night.
The day after Christmas, we went over to Great Grandma and Grandpa Haverkamp's. After eating some turkey and ham, he finally warmed up to all the people and had a blast playing with his third cousins. Someone thought they saw Santa outside and Kyler was really looking for him.
He couldn't stop starting after Santa came in. We made the mistake of having "A Christmas Story" on at home that day which probably didn't help his fear of Santa. Oops!
I wanted to get a picture of both kids on Santa's lap. I think this pretty much captured the moment. It was nuts.
Santa had a gift for Kyler - a little toy four wheeler. And Ky gave him a five before Santa left. Hopefully next year he will be a little more receptive to Santa's lap.
Next weekend Kyler's other grandparents will be coming to visit since we didn't make it there this year. We had a great Christmas with all of our family. It will be even more fun next year when Myelle is old enough to join in the fun.
Your play kitchen turned out awesome!!!
