We all slept well Christmas Eve except for Charlie who woke up every hour until six. We waited until seven and finally just woke Lucy up to go enjoy our stockings. It was a chaotic mess of happiness! We went slowly through the gifts with breakfast in-between so we didn’t finish until after nine.
For Seth and Myself, the most anticipated gift was the double waffle maker. Our regular one died about six months ago and with our growing family I new I wanted to invest in a double. Waffle Wednesdays has thankfully returned to our home and now we can produce enough waffles for the whole family in only a few minutes. Santa stuck those silly mustaches in Seth’s stockings and everyone enjoyed their silliness. Matthew was happy with his Easy Bake Oven and we have kept busy making cakes, pizza, and cookies with it.
Charlie received a kindle for Christmas which in retrospect was like throwing gasoline on a fire. He’s figured out how to checkout digital books through the library so now there is an endless supply of books for him to read. We also got a few games that helped draw him away from his new books. King of Tokyo from Grandma Ackerson was the top game of the year but playing Monopoly with the “fast rules” moves the game along a lot faster making it fun instead of endless hours of torment. I loved the picture of Lucy reading to her new doll she named “Jane.” I did steal al little nap during the “Muppets Christmas Carol.”
Conrad got a tractor which Matthew LOVES and Conrad will someday love. Conrad LOVED Matthew’s skateboard and was really upset when Matthew wouldn’t give it up (note picture).
