The snacks were made, presents were wrapped, off we went to Gramma's house. We ate yummy treats, paused to make the kids take a picture together under their stockings, opened gifts like crazy people, at a delicious dinner, capture a rogue baby lizard that snuck into the house, and had a nice afternoon together.
Act 2: Late Christmas Eve, our house
We got dressed up in our Christmas jammies, put out our cookies for Santa, reminded our elf Snoodle one more time what we wished for from Santa, and then watched elf. Jason and I were the only two to make it through the movie - everyone else fell asleep.
Act 3: Christmas morning, our house
Our alarm clock, Kyler tries to wake up super early (again this year), we make him go back to sleep, he sleeps way longer than we expected, and we are now officially running late. The kids get just what they asked for from Santa - a scooter and roller skates for Kyler, a set of fairies for Kassidy and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for Konner. Happiness ensues, open our stockings and presents, frantically get ready.
Act 4: Later Christmas morning, Grandpa and Grandma's house
We hurry over, and are glad to see we are actually not late at all. Sing some songs with Grandpa's microphone while breakfast gets finished. Feed our hungry tummy's and open more presents!! Lots of love for our kids.
Act 5: Noon, Granddaddy and Grammy's house
Arrive with new toys in hand, play for a while, then it is lunch of our traditional tamales. We gather around to open stockings and presents. Lots of new clothes for the kids (yay). Some people take naps, some people take a walk, Kyler tries out his new razor scooter, try out new car track.
Act 6: Early evening, back at Grandpa and Grandma's house
Make a quick trip back over not to eat dinner but to visit with Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma Fox. Give them the coveted calendar as a gift and get a snap shot of us together - two of three children awake - good enough.
Act 7: Evening, back to Grammy and Granddaddy's
Eat more tamales. Try to gather up many lovely gifts and play a rousing game of pass the pigs. Kids crash on the way home and sleep the whole night through.
It was a Marry Christmas indeed!
