Santa is a Generous Guy

I'm gonna have to post this in shifts because we had so many Christmas activities. Just a quick rundown: Christmas Eve-dinner at Erik & Karin's, Christmas morning-our house, Christmas brunch-Chad's family, Christmas dinner & night-my family. Whew! Santa and/or gifts awaited at each location. Henry liked each and every gift he opened. So much, in fact, that we had to keep prodding him to continue. He wanted to open the package, get the toy out, put batteries in and play with it instead of opening the next one. He finally asked if he could save some for later.

Christmas morning at our house

Henry loves Olivia & Curious George books

They are so beautiful when they are working, but I really hate Christmas tree lights. You can see that a string went out in the middle of the tree. Those have since been thrown in the trash. Of course, they were working when I put them on. They are the old kind that if one goes out, they all go out. I feel sure that technology moved forward for tree lights since then. Thinking about getting all new lights next year. Does anyone have LED lights or suggestions on color or style?

Seeing that Santa filled his stocking was the most exciting part.
