There were a couple of very neat things that happened at the Corbin house this Christmas morning!
- The kids slept in until 7am! Dwayne and I were pleasantly surprised not to be dragged from bed at 4am.
- Santa left tracks! I mixed some shredded packing peanuts with glitter and voila! Magic Santa snow that won't melt! Santa came in through the chimney, walked down the hallway to check and see if the boys were sleeping, then proceeded to the Christmas tree, where he left gifts.
- Santa paper-coded all the gifts for our pre-readers. Peter's were red with print, Andrew's were green with print. Very simple.
- We had two tricycles, two toddlers, and we're still not sure who 'officially' owns which, and that's okay! They're in love with it.
- Santa brought breakfast! (I can't claim this idea, it was all Dwayne) To combat that age-old "What do we put in the stockings?" struggle, Dwayne bought special breakfast treats so that the children were semi-fed, and we didn't have to battle over whether or not they could eat the candy in stockings before or after breakfast. And mommy didn't have to cook!
We are so excited to be at home with just our nuclear family this Christmas - we really needed the break. However, there are some harsh realities to Christmas at home - mommy's doing laundry on Christmas day. :-/ I guess that's just part of growing up: no days off.
Merry Christmas everyone!
