Solana discovered some new favorites this season. Her favorite Christmas songs are "Little Drummin' Boy" by Jackson 5 (which we've listened to on repeat probably 1000 times), "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", and "Baby Jesus is Born" by Garth Brooks (that's my favorite too). She also loved watching Elf everyday. And she really liked Bethlehem, and trying to find it (a nativity scenes) while we were driving. She would always say "Bethlehem is my favorite." And everyday she asked if we could make gingerbread boys. She loved Christmas and her excitement made it that much more special for us.
She was so excited to see Santa, and props to Boston for not even shedding a tear, he was a champ!
She told Santa that she wanted a dolly house and he said he would get it for her. Thanks Santa for making such big promises :) (Way to go Mom and Dad for waiting until December 23rd to take the kids to see Santa. We waited in an enormous line for nearly an hour and a half! But it was totally worth it!)
Yes we should have just gotten him a box for Christmas, he had a blast in it.
Glad we caught the chaos on camera...
For Christmas Eve we got the kids new pajamas. Solana loved them, and I have not be able to get her into anything else since.
Christmas morning was so much fun. She forgot when she first woke up that is was Christmas, but when we told her Santa had come, she could hardly stand the excitement.
Boston loving his new books
Grandpa Ross got both kids a new scooter, and all morning Solana rode around saying "special delivery!" with a gift in tow. It was adorable.
Ross tradition, orange in the bottom of the stocking, and it seems to be Boston's favorite part.
Her dollhouse! She earned it, she stopped sucking her thumb during the day.
Taking the new scooter out and learning how to brake, she did surprisingly well. Then it was back inside and have our traditional breakfast tacos and then get ready to head to the airport. It was a wonderful and crazy day!
