This Christmas may have been the best Christmas yet! It was gentle and easy in the morning, fast in the afternoon, delicious and fun in the evening... all around a thoroughly enjoyable day!
We spent our "wake up" time in bed, leisurely... I brought in the stockings and we had fun opening them on the bed. Kaemon Ze got more dinosaurs in his stocking - he loved that! When he finally came out into the living room, this is what he found: a fort! Daddy had put a bundle of soft dinosaurs from Bunny and Papa inside the tent and at the exit of the tunnel was a box of dinosaurs from his uncle. He was one happy boy!
My parents, "Bunny and Papa" spent Christmas morning with us via Skype. Technically can be so wonderful!
His velociraptor meets another dino that looks like a T-Rex (I've forgotten the name).
My funny hunny wore the headlamp I gave him for hours. It was really amusing to see him wearing the headlamp while figuring out how the espresso machine works. :)
We are blessed with great neighbors, including Jessica and her family. She gave us parents a fantastic gardening book specific to the NW and broken down by months. Very helpful. She also had a few treasures for Kaemon Ze, including this chalk set with this wonderful note.
Later, his cousin stopped by to visit before dinner. She's trying on Kaemon Ze's dinosaur rock, insisting it's a costume. :)
Fun, fun! Good friends, Dan and Claudia stopped by on a lark to deliver presents! We talked them into staying for dinner (even though they had just eaten) and for our "true white elephant" gift exchange.
Kaemon Ze gets Dan "on the floor" to play with his dinosaurs and the animals Jessica gave him. "Oh good! Dinosaur food" is what daddy said when he first saw the animals. :)
For our Christmas dinner, Jason served lasagna and Japanese eggplant parmesan (with veggies from our garden).
God-mama Jenn made this beautiful (and over-the-top delicious) pear and blueberry pie. Yes, that crust is made from scratch.
Dan loves children and Kaemon Ze is no exception!
Thank you everyone (near and far) for making this Christmas so wonderful!
