First Christmas Gift

We always let the kids open one present on Christmas Eve.  This year we decided to trick them and give them a joke gift.  Zach got Top Ramin (his favorite) and Zoey got a light bulb.  As you can tell they weren't to thrilled!  Zach through his across the room and Zoey's comment was "What the heck."  She actually thought is was really one of her gifts and said "well what am I suppose to do with it?"  Needless to say they actually got their real gift. Zach got some Charger basketball shorts and Zoey got a Fairytail Barbie doll.

It is so nice to see them so excited for Christmas. We ended the night driving around looking at lights and then making cookies for Santa and little doughnuts for the elves.  I will post those pictures later.  Oh and Zoey made some reindeer food at school so they decided to spread it all over outside for them.

Merry Christmas!!

Getting Old

They are getting so old!  We were on our way to see Santa, Zach was not to thrilled.  He says he is told old to see Santa!  When Zoey sat on his lap, he asked her what she wanted and she was just beside herself that she was there with Santa and he was talking to her.  She just started giggling and then was trying to hold back her tears of excitement.  She kept wiping her eyes and just looking at him with amazement!  The photographer said that is the first time she has seen a little kid so excited to see Santa that she cried.  Oh lord, I am going to have the crazed teenager that cries over a pop star!
