Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas!

We got out of bed just after 8AM and it was awesome!

Kasen was already awake in his room, but we never heard him. When Kyle went in, Kasen's head was on the other side of his blinds just looking at the "white snow!" 

It finally snowed just in time for Christmas!

On our bed we read a children's book about the birth of our Savior before we went out to see what Santa brought us. Kasen was pointing out Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus and the big star- So sweet.

 

Kasen came running into the front room and first went inside Peeka's dog house, then stopped at Tai's kitchen before he went for his Lightning McQueen bike.

 Kyle got a bag of snowman poop. Just like I told him he would if he said the word "smoker" one more time! He'd been shopping for one and talking about it for months. But I am so sneaky and he had no idea! I got one on a black Friday sale, with my business account, went and picked it up and then hid it in the Eason's garage for a month! Christmas Eve night I sneaked out and wheeled it over from their house to put on our back porch. P.S. It is SO HEAVY! So I had a string tied from his snowman poop to the sliding glass door. When he finally saw it out there he just kept saying, "How did you do that?!"

 Yes, I made him go stand in the snow to take a picture. Then later when he opened his slippers from Kasen he wished that he had opened that present first! lol Don't worry about it getting stolen though because Kyle already found a lock and cable to lock it to the deck.

Kasen when straight for his candy and busted open his chocolate orange! He also got a Cars sleeping bag, snow pants and shirts.

Potty Books! Yay! Hopefully Daniel Tiger and Elmo can help motivate him...
We've also played this Hungry Hippo game with him and are working on teaching him about rules and cheating. lol He likes to use his hands to put the marbles right into the hippo's mouth!

 Tai carried around their toothpaste for a good part of the morning, until we put her in the highchair to chow down on our cinnamon rolls for breakfast!

They switched for a bit while Tai played with Kasen's cars and he played with her Kitchen. I knew he would though. Everywhere we go that has a kitchen- that is his toy of choice! Ours is complete with a coffee maker that we will use to make hot chocolate with instead. :)

They also love this tunnel that Grammy Tammy got them! Tai kept trying to stand up in it though. Haha Kyle even crawled through it and then Kasen tried hooking it right up to the door of Peeka's dog house to crawl into it.

 She also got a swing to put on the random hooks that were in the ceiling of our basement when we moved in! Kasen loved the swing and was so excited to push Tai in it when she woke up from her nap, but mostly she cried whenever he tried to push her. Kasen though, we got his feet to touch the ceiling!

 Grandma and Grandpa Forsyth gave him this awesome car track with a car that speeds around it and lights up the track. I LOVE it because whenever Kasen decides to move it I don't have to put it back together again because it stays all connected!

Kyle got me 3 new dresses, a shirt, two 1 hour massages at a spa, a little back massager, a giftcard to Cheesecake Factory and Olive Garden and all 3 Work and the Glory movies! AND he even wrote me a card!!

 After Kyle was done shoveling the snow, he and Kasen had the cutest little snowball fight! And every time Kasen's hands got cold he would come to Kyle saying, "Huh huh" for him to blow on his hands and warm them up! Throwing snowballs for Peeka to catch was fun too.

Later we went down to Elkridge to have dinner with Kyle's family and open our presents from them. Kasen got more train tracks to add on to the ones he got last year and loves building them. The best were the Harry Potter jellybeans that we passed around to the kids to eat! Kasen would never spit out the gross ones though, he just kept eating them! Ewww
