Christmas chaos

We had so much fun playing Santa this year and Rachel had fun being a 2 year old at Christmas time. Before baths on Christmas eve we opened our new pajamas. I had made matching ones for me and Rachel and was excited to wear them with her. But alas she out right refused to wear them. Marc's had a hole in his, and mine ended up splitting in the seam after wearing them for a few minutes so that was a wasted effort. After the kids were in bed we brought up the presents and put them under the tree. We left hot cocoa and cookies for Santa and 8 carrots for the reindeer. Now usually my kids are early risers, but on Christmas they both slept in and we ended up going in there and waking them up. Benjamin got some toys that he can play with while sitting up (can you tell he is a little out of it?)

My Uncle Bill made Rachel some Rhythm sticks, that she loves!!

And the BIG present of the day was a kitchen set and some play food. She loves it!! It was quite funny because after she would open a different present she would go over to the kitchen set, open a door and put the present in it. After a while she got distracted and just wanted to play with her toys and not open anymore. After getting ready and putting some presents away, we went to Marc's parents house for some yummy dinner and MORE presents! I think Rachel's favorite toy from Marc's parents is a little truck that Benjamin got, that's right I said that Benjamin got. That's okay she is just breaking it in.

Benjamin had a fun time at Grandma and Grandpa's too. I couldn't tell if his favorite thing was grandpa or eating the tissue paper from the presents.
