I must say this Christmas was much better than last! Last year we spent the holiday passing a stomach bug between the 4 of us, which was definitely no fun. It was a little weird to spend the day without any extended family, but we still had a great day.
On Christmas Eve, Troy and Reef got Santa's snack ready-lamingtons and milk. Reef was very concerned that he was not going to get a lamington.






We kicked off Christmas morning with some monkey bread and fruit before diving into the presents. We got these light up Santa hats from Rachel, and Reef LOVES his. He wore it all day!

Jonas was not that thrilled with his and immediately took it off.

Before opening presents, Reef checked on Santa's plate to make sure he ate his snack and drank all his milk. Then he asked again when he could have a lamington. We opened the big train table first because we couldn't keep them away from it. What a hit that was! To see their faces made staying up late putting it together worth it! Thanks Oma and Opa! It took awhile before either one was interested in other gifts, but finally Jonas got interested. He ran off after taking the first thing out of the stocking though! So easy to please!

Jonas ripping into his stacking cups. These have been a surprisingly big hit!

Back to the train table. They can't stay away from it for more than half an hour or so. It's great to see them play together.

Jonas' favorite part is this tunnel.

After nap time, Reef finally got a taste of that lamington he was dying to have! Doesn't he look excited!

Jonas didn't really like the lamington but posed for the camera anyway.


Since the weather was nice, we played outside after our snack. Reef has almost mastered the pedals on his new bike. Then we had a quiet dinner and a bath with our new bath crayons. Finally it was off to bed for the boys, and Troy and I got to watch a movie!

Overall a great day!
