So far, we have still been able to have a bit of a lie in on Christmas morning, and today was no exception! The kids all slept until 8am, and then it was the chaos of presents for hours it seemed. There is just nothing like Christmas chocolate for breakfast…

Christmas Eve
Christmas Activities
I’m not sure who was looking forward to Christmas Vacation more, Sophia or I. She was excited for Christmas & I was looking forward to catching up on sleep & not having a 7am ritual on a daily basis…
We spent one day visiting the reindeer & camels that rest at Swanson's Nursery during December before their long night of work. The animals weren’t too interesting to the girls, but the train held their fascination for quite a while!
an afternoon at the play “The Best Christmas Pageant EVER” then it was decorating Gingerbread houses to make the hours of Christmas eve speed by faster…
Considering most of the candy was from at least 20 years ago when I used to do this, there was relatively little sugar eaten. But I think I did see at least one of the girls sucking on the end of the icing canister… And Lexa’s house had finger lanes all over the back where she decided there was far too much frosting (snow) and she had to eat it off. Luckily It was almost time to go!!

The Nutcracker Night
We spent the evening yesterday at the Nutcracker enjoying an amazing performance! It isn’t the traditional telling with a Sugarplum fairy, but a bit of a modern take, with Clara/Marie being a much more important character. We took Sophia 2 years ago, but being jet lagged she slept thru the last 30 min of the performance. No problems with that this year. Even Lexa was enthralled for almost the entire show!
