Wm said this was the best Christmas ever! On Christmas Eve, it started with some Glow Bars for breakfast. Wm actually loves them - which surprised me since they are pretty much various seeds (hemp, sunflower, chia, sesame) and oats held together with a bit of honey and peanut butter. We did sprinkle some chocolate chips on top, so that led to this happy camper:
Then, we went back into the kitchen and made sugar cookies with frosting and sprinkles. I managed to scrounge up food coloring made from vegetable dye at Whole Foods so they were chemical free! There isn't much you can't do with a beet!
Then we headed over to Mimi and Guy's for a delicious Christmas Eve dinner.
Wm is an odd kid - he falls right to sleep on Christmas Eve and wakes up at his usual time. When I was a kid, I was up half the night with anticipation and then sat in my bed, wide awake, from about 4:30am until I figured I could wrangle everyone out of bed without getting beaten to death. In fact, Wm didn't even wake us up on Christmas morning. I heard him rustling around in his room and had to call out to him and ask if he was awake and wanted to open presents. Of course he did! So down we went...

| What could it be? |

| Happy face! Nailed it. |

| Pop's turn! |
Later in the day, The Grandparents came over for even more presents and Christmas dinner!
 |
| Present-palooza! |
 |
| The Grandmas! |
 |
| Mimi and Guy! |
Wm woke up this morning and immediately got to work on his lego set. He has been building all his things, Lego and otherwise. We got him these remote control cars that can battle, and he loves them...but they are SO LOUD. I am already regretting this. Steve has been helping him build all kinds of things and is his battle partner. He also forced me to play endless Harry Potter Trivial Pursuit last night. I'm hoping he has some friends around today because we are exhausted!
