We were so excited about this Christmas knowing that both kids were old enough to understand what was going on and anticipate the arrival of Christmas morning. TJ was the first to wake up asking "Did Santa Claus come? Did you open your presents, Daddy?" I guess he was worried we started without him. This is what the kids saw when they came into the living room...
Unfortunately for Daddy, Christmas is a little difficult to recall. With the exception of about 30 minutes when he crawled out of bed onto the couch to watch the kids open their presents, he spent all day in bed suffering from a nasty little stomach bug...
Poor Daddy
Alli was very excited to see that Santa was able to bring the princess bike that she so desperately wanted. He hadn't run out of them after all! She says she was a little bit worried.
TJ looking so cool on his new "Christmas bike" as he calls it. Unfortunately this is one of the only
times he has been on it. When he discovered that his short little legs can't make it go as fast as the Strawberry Shortcake tricycle which he propels Fred Flintstone style with one leg, he ditched the new bike. After all, now that Alli has her beloved princess bike, the tricycle is all his.
Chili making sure there are no treats left in his stocking.
And, Alli trying out Chili's new bed with him.
Out on the driveway later that morning taking the new rides (well ride) for a spin. TJ already back on the tricycle refusing to wear his new helmet even after telling him that the flames help him to go super fast. He wasn't buying it.

Stick with it, Mama! Don't give up on the helmet. Tell him the neighbors will give him candy if he wears it... like we did at Halloween! ha
