Let's just start this by saying Santa has the best job ever. Allie woke up around 3:30 on Christmas morning. She was fed and quickly put back to sleep. Unfortunately the same did not hold true for me. Kip and I started our Christmas around 4:00 in the morning. I think he was pretty excited to open up an Xbox 360. He's been wanting one for awhile. The deal is he gets a maximum of 2 hours of play time. I was hoping to have the parental controls put in so that it would shut down after 2 hours but was unable to do it. Hilarious huh?
Madeline got a new Land of Nod tent. She was a bit weirded out that Santa managed to make it into her room and hang it while she was sleeping but LOVES her new tent and LOVES to invite Rudder in to hang out.
Not sure if you can tell but Rudder has his nose stuck in the window. This was not the first nor the last time he did that within a 5 minute span.
You'll start to notice a theme for this Christmas. THOMAS the Train. Maddie is quite infautated with Thomas this year.
Allie was pumped to open presents.
After gifts at home we went to Nonna's and opened more presents. These girls cashed in this weekend.
After Nonnas we went to Gigi's and Pop's house in Mill Creek. Hads got a baby that goes in the bath which was pretty neat. Madeline got a doll that has her own doggie.
Instead of having a day of running all over Washington to open gifts Zaide thought it would be more fun to have our Christmas on Saturday up at the cabin. Saturday morning we loaded up the car and headed up to Snoqualmie. We didn't come home until Monday mid-morning. It was a great trip as always and the scenery was gorgeous. Allie unfortunately isn't feeling well. She started Christmas with a temp and now has a runny nose. She's got the humidifier going full blast in her bedroom now so hopefully that helps.
The anticipation of opening gifts is killing Allie!
Zaide knitted Kip, Maddie, Allie and I all stockings. They are beautiful and I could not be more excited.
Apparently Madeline and I know how to put on makeup equally well.
My new metal rooster. I told Kip this rooster is going to be like the "elf on the shelf." He's going to wake up one day and it's going to be staring at him.
Making another meal at the cabin. I don't know how Zaide is so patient with letting the girls help her.
Thank you everyone for a very wonderful Christmas. We really appreciate all of our gifts and all of the time we got to spend with everyone.

that was the BEST CHRISTMAS ever, we so loved having so much relaxing time to spend with you all. So happy that you love your rooster, we'll have to start saving for Kips plazma (?) saw so he can start making these creations. Your mom and I alone will keep him in business. Sorry to hear Allie is not feeling well.
great bunch of photos! Looks like a grand Xmas all around and every day. Zaide, when are you going to start doing Befana?
Looks like Christmas was super fun for you all. Love the million stops. And Christmas at the cabin TDF! Nice work Zaide. I can't wait to see the new toy Hadley is riding on. Does it make annoying sounds like the horse? Merry Christmas to you all.
Looks like a great time! Merry Christmas to all!
no the annoying sounds just come from Hads whenever anyone tries to get on it!! I had it first is a new phrase repeated constantly, the joys...what, you don't love the pretty pony song??
pretty pony song = urgent desire to slit pretty pony's throat. BTW I love Maddie's braids, she is too cute!
Pretty Pony needs to lose its batteries...
