Don't you wish it was Christmas again? Well, it'll be around the corner before you know it! At least that the way it seems. The older I get the faster those months fly. I'll take Christmas again, but NOT December. It was the worst December on record. Schmoo was sick twice for a total of 9 missed days of school, 3 dr appts and 4 rx. Then I got Pneumonia~ 2 appts and 5 rx. Then My dh got pneumonia, same rx as me. I had to take big bad teaching exams while on codeine. My dh was furloughed, twice. We had to cancel our IVF cycle. We missed every party, event, and all good stuff.
Phew.
It ended well though! Right before Christmas my parents flew in and celebrated the holiday with us. It was a lovely lift of our spirits and we had a great time.
Schmoo and granny making the Gingerbread house
Schmoo acting out the Nativity on Christmas Eve with the awesome set his Primary teacher made for him. So sweet!
So excited on Christmas eve. We ate, read the scriptures, watched Mr. Krueger's Christmas, Schmoo opened a couple of presents, and off to bed.
We had church, as usual, at 10am. We told Schmoo that he could open all his stocking stuff before Church, but no opening presents til we got back. He was fine with that, and was even great on Christmas morning. We were all laughing as he was sitting fully dressed in the hallway with his shoes on 1/2 hour before we needed to leave for church. When we got there he kept on asking me every 5 minutes if it was time to go home, so finally I just handed him the program and he painstakingly scratched off each entry the moment someone said, 'Amen.' You have never seen someone exit the building so quickly!
Handing out gifts
Happy to see he wasn't really getting Crispix as a present.
Granny and papa opening gifts
Have you seen a happier kid? He was soooo excited to get these Legos from Grandma and Grandpa!

Santa brought lots of tracks to put together, a la Mario Kart.
Day after Christmas he wanted to eat this so badly. I told him it wouldn't taste very good but to be my guest...
This was the year of the penguin! He is obsessed with the little guys right now and they were around everywhere.
Some of his track set up
His "dia de los reyes magos" present. I like to celebrate 3 kings day, so he always gets a little something. (usually with the cashback from Toys r us.) Our upstairs neighbors gave him the red bird for Christmas, so we got him a pig and bluebird. He thought it was hilarious when he woke up on January 6th and found his presents and the "level" that we built that for him with his blocks :)
