The kids had to put out milk and a cupcake for Santa the night before. We had cookies too, but the kids decided a cupcake from Edward's birthday party was more of what Santa might want. They said he might get sick of eating all those cookies.
Christmas came! Here is Luke's pile.
Madison's pile
Alex's pile
This turned out to a a huge hit. It's a Barbie princess carriage that also turns into a hot air balloon. Madison loves the Disney Princesses, so they've been riding in the carriage.
The princesses...for the carriage. Madison quickly noticed this seven pack came with the new Rapunzel from "Tangled" (which we haven't seen), but she was really upset they didn' thave Sleeping Beauty in the pack. Ironically, my friend Carin sent Madison Sleeping Beauty, which Madison was just elated. Thanks Carin!
Luke had two things on his Christmas list (he said that was all he wanted): a Transformer and an airplane. Here's the Transformer.
The airplane
Luke also received a new scooter. He had the toddler, three-wheeled version and has now upgraded to the regular two-wheel. Alex has already started using the toddler one :)
Luke also received a play gun set, which has been THE TOY of the season. No, it's not a Red Rider.
Alex is obsessed with Luke's Buzz Lightyear, so hopefully, this will end the fighting.
A sword to go with the gun
Playing with her princesses
And, Luke also received a dress-up costume. He loves Batman. Try to picture this: Batman, riding on his new scooter, and trying to hold the play gun and sword. My neighbor Kellie told me Luke kept her laughing all Christmas morning as she looked out her kitchen window and watched Luke ride his scooter up and down the street just as described.
Batman...protecting the streets.The kids did enjoy their morning and kept singing, "Happy Birthday Jesus" as the day went on. They wanted to sing "Happy Birthday Jesus" the night before at Texas Roadhouse for Edward's birthday, but we told them we'd keep the singing for our house.
