Christmas 2013

I'm a week late, but here's a photo post on Christmas/Deacon's first Christmas. Sorry it's so short but with how crazy life has been, in large part caused by how crazy 3-year olds are, I just haven't felt like blogging.

We started the Christmas celebration a few weeks ago when we hung the tree. Piper and Fletch took a lot of care to get some ornaments right where they wanted them.

A few weeks past, and then it was Christmas Eve. Eric's parents came over, and we had appetizers and attempted to watch Polar Express, but we quickly realized that movie is not for 3-year olds. It was scary!

The next day was Christmas, and it was great. Santa visited and brought Piper and Fletch everything they wanted--Toy Story 2 and a Jessie doll for Piper and a Mack truck and Green truck (both characters from Cars) for Fletch. Other big hits were an Imaginext Castle, Magnatiles, and an art desk for Piper to do her crafts. (Cute side note: Fletch loves the art desk too and calls it "Piper's center" b/c it's like the centers they have at school but this one belongs to Piper.) Deacon enjoyed Christmas too, although he was just happy looking at the lights and watching all the commotion.

It was a great holiday, although I'm glad the season is coming to a close. We're all ready to get back to our normal routines.
