Christmas Day

Ryan has a tradition of leaving cookies, egg nog, and a note for Santa. I realize that most kids do. However, Ryan’s note to Santa is interactive. He asks questions. That require full-sentence answers. Of course, we all know that Santa is busy, but he has done a pretty good job of answering the questions to Ryan’s satisfaction.
According to tradition, Rara & Papa, Marc & Frances & Alice & Claire come to our house on Christmas morning. Ryan is always so patient to wait for everyone to arrive. He even ate breakfast while waiting! Rara & Papa made it first, and we decided to let Ryan open a couple of his presents to keep him occupied until Marc, Frances, Alice & Claire could arrive.
When they arrived, we had a lot of fun watching Alice & Claire open presents. Their excitement was hilarious! They got a rocking giraffe that they LOVED! They kept making the horse-clicking sound to let us know that they wanted to ride. They shared and took turns quite well.Copper even received some gifts! Santa left a cute paw print stocking with a bunch of treats and toys. Ryan gave Copper a very large rawhide bone (that he bought with his own money).
After presents, Marc & Frances made our breakfast (another tradition) of Kronski’s Polish sausages and egg not French toast. MMMmmmmm!!!!!

In the late afternoon, we went to Rara & Papa’s for a yummy dinner, and then came back to our house for another tradition – gingerbread cookies on Christmas night.

It was a wonderful Christmas day. We enjoyed every single minute together!
