Christmas 2013! I think I must start this post by saying that both kids slept in until 8 am on Christmas morning. Let me repeat – 8 am! They never sleep in that late, never. All us adults kept waking up at 6 am, 6:30 am, we couldn’t believe they were still sleeping.
On Christmas Eve we had the family over to our house. My parents, aunt Emily, Dave’s parents, and my aunt Liz’s family. My grandma Flo couldn’t make it as she was feeling under the weather. Everyone had an excellent time, there was great food, including a 14 lb prime rib which was incredible, and family. The kids were blown away by everyone’s kindness and Ajax helped Noomi open more than one present. She was pretty overwhelmed. I tried to get good pictures of the kids all dressed up, but Noomi wasn’t very cooperative.
Ajax made reindeer food, he actually made up his own recipe, straying a bit from the traditional – oats and magic recipe. This year he also included glitter, sugar, and crushed up crackers. He said the crackers were for Rudolph. He also put out cookies for Santa that he and Noomi decorated. The kids were ridiculously cute in the Christmas jammies and of course slept beautifully. I didn’t get pictures of the kids in the PJs unfortunately.
Grandma Dara and Grandpa Rod stayed the night with their little dog Mabel (or as Ajax says – Mee-bel). It was so wonderful having them over and Christmas morning was excellent. The rest of the day was spent bumming around, eating, and playing with the kids.
