Christmas morning Kai slept until nearly 8am. It would have been a perfect Christmas present for me, if only Finn hadn't insisted on getting up at 5:45am!!! Ugghh! By the time Kai woke up, Finn was about ready for a nap. So, the boys looked through their stocking and then I set Finn up for breakfast while I made cinnamon rolls. Once we were done with that, the boys opened their Santa presents and then Finn was off for a nap.

Santa left the light ball on the plate where the boys left cookies, for both boys, and they have loved it! Oh, and Santa used towels to lay out the presents so each boy knew which pile was his. |

| The favorite light ball! |
 |
| Santa left the boys Rudolph noses. Kai has really enjoyed his! |
While Finn napped, Kai ate breakfast (cinnamon rolls and cantaloupe, which Kai has declared a Christmas fruit) and played with his toys. Once Finn woke up, we started opening the rest of the presents. We managed to get about half-way through before stopping for lunch. And then we went back to opening presents. We were finally done with the presents and able to go downstairs to see the final (and only unwrapped gift) by 1:30pm. Yep--5 hours of opening presents! Christmas was very good to the boys! Since Reid had the video camera running most of the time, we actually got very few pictures on Christmas day. Since Christmas, I've taken a few pictures to show off their new toys. Here are the highlights.

| The kitchen that we got the boys |
 |
| Finn has really taken to the kitchen. He cooks food and will pretend to eat it, or feed it to us. |
 |
| The rocking Tigger that Grammy and Papa got Finn. At first he wasn't sure about it, but now he'll pet it and dance to the music. He still doesn't want to rock on it though. |
 |
| Our climber! This is what Finn thinks the oven is for. (Don't worry. I stop this the instant I see it!) He already has tried to climb up onto the counter several times. |
 |
| A shopping cart and a load of food that we bought for them and the kitchen. |
 |
| Finn cooking a waffle. |
 |
| Finn's ride-on that Santa brought. He LOVES it! (And so does Kai.) |
 |
| A dinosaur box/play mat that we got for all of Kai's dinosaurs. (He's been earning them by potty training.) |
 |
| Tank the Triceratops from Dinosaur Train. Santa brought this and two others for Kai. |
 |
| And this is what Kai was doing while Finn and I were taking pictures. Playing the Kinect for our XBox. Kai has become quite good at playing Kinectimals by himself. |

We had a good Christmas. It was nice to spend Christmas Eve talking about the Savior and then enjoying our family on Christmas day. I love my family. I love this season. I love our time together. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and that the New Year is full of wonderful things to come!

Looks like a great Christmas! Your kitchen looks a lot like ours. Owen has climbed onto the counter many times. It looks like you are in for the same fate. :) Gratefully, it has never tipped. I love the picture of Kai and the rudolph nose.
man, Finn is SO STINKIN' CUTE! he looks so great. I got our daughters a new ride-on-car (one for the 1-year-old and one for the 4-year-old because they both love them) and they have been popular - since our other one's lights and sounds don't work anymore. anyway, fun update. :)
