We hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday! I know we did... even though it will be our last Christmas in Germany :( Our Christmas festivities lasted over 2 days. Christmas Eve morning we let Rand open presents sent to him from our family back in the States. He enjoyed opening each present and playing with it before moving to the next.
Do you like his Christmas pi's I made? I found this adorable fabric at Joann Fabrics while I was back in the States the other month. I knew Rand would love it because 1. It was red (his favorite color) 2. It had trains on it 3. Santa was driving the train! I unfortunately ran out of fabric so I appliquéd the train on a shirt he had.
The rest of the day went on as normal but that evening we had a few friends over for Christmas Eve dinner. Rob's family has a tradition that on Christmas Eve we eat everyones favorite appetizer. So we served shrimp cocktail, taquitos, pizza bagels... things like that. I have to admit, we were not feeling to great the next day or two. The past few years we have been eating a very healthy and clean diet. Our bodies are not used to eating that kind of "junk" so thank you Plexus for helping us feel better so quick!
The next morning Rand woke up and ran downstairs screaming "Presents!" and started opening one before Rob and I could even join him. Rob luckily was able to get him to stop half way through and wait till we were ready.
After a fun filled morning of opening presents and hearing Rand say "Oh WOW!" and "Cool!" I made some biscuits and gravy (again, not healthy at all and our bodies hated us for a couple days) and we enjoyed some breakfast while watching Rand play with his new toys.
A few hours later, we got dressed and took Rand outside for his last present. Rand was so excited! Seeing your child so happy and excited just did it for us.
It was a wonderful Christmas!
