Christmas 2014

Christmas is a vague memory since I'm doing this a week late.  A week doesn't seem long but we have been busy so it's hard to remember it all.

We did the usual: Visited Santa, saw the giant light display at a house in West Seattle, went to church on Christmas Eve, decorated cookies, decorated a ginger bread house, made ornaments for the tree... and I can't remember the rest but we did more.

I found it to be hard to keep the magic of Santa a secret.  Almost all the gifts came in mail so Keaton was always questioning why we were getting so many packages.  TJ brought a package home and left it on the front porch so Keaton got a delivery.  It was a tape dispenser which was a bit hit.  Keaton also noticed one of Nolan's gifts in the garage but was too distracted Christmas day to remember.

Becky and Kids came visit between Christmas and New Years.  The kids were crazy and Keaton was all packed ready to go home with them.

I'm pretty sure Nolan had no idea what was going on.  And of course Manny thought every gift was for him on Christmas morning (just like every year).

TJ and I barely survived due to the "train table" disaster and last minute purchase at Toys r Us. 





 
 
Best gifts: Rachel's orange suit and TJ's Christmas tie.
