Christmas at Mimi's

Christmas at our house

Christmas morning

Our first Christmas in our new house!

 

Wyatt was excited to leave out cookies and milk for Santa and an apple for Rudolph.

Before bed, we had to read The Night Before Christmas. Hopefully Claire will be able to make it next year!

Claire is such an early bird...can't blame her as early as she goes to sleep. She got up at 6:30 and was up and back down before Wyatt even woke up so we didn't do Christmas until Claire woke up at 9:30 or so. Wyatt's gifts from Santa were out, but he could have cared less. Story of our lives.

Christmas at Nana's

 

Nana gave each family a bag filled with paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, trash bags, and detergent. Wyatt knew exactly what the pods were and tried sneaking everyone's out of their bags. Needless to say our pods didn't last long at all!

Visiting Santa

It should come as no surprise that Claire hated Santa. She hardly lets Pop hold her. Definitely something we are hopefully going to get over soon. Wyatt enjoyed him though and asked for a football!

Christmas tree

Wyatt picked out the Christmas tree this year and he did such a good job! It was a little bigger than what I had anticipated, but it worked out beautifully. 

This is our Santa/handmade ornaments/Christmas card tree! I love it!

A White Christmas

Christmas morning Wyatt woke up at 5:30. Yes, 5:30. He's supposed to do this when he's like 6 isn't he? Don't all kids do that? I know me and Jason certainly did. Luckily, my parents never told us to go back to bed.

 

Since it was aleady 5:30, Ryan just put him in bed with us...he slept until 9:30. What? Didn't he know Santa  had came to visit him the night before?!

Ryan and I got up at 9 and so I made us some cinnamon rolls while we waited for our little man to wake up. Once he did he so sweetly came in to see what Santa brought him.

He was a busy little bee. He actually didn't open any other presents. I had to open the rest and he could have cared less. He was such a sweet little boy later that morning. He first crawled up in my lap and just sat with me and then got down and went and laid down with his daddy. It was so sweet.

The boys club.

 

A little after this we went to spend some time with Mimi and Pawpaw again. We knew that the weather was going to get "bad" so we stayed for just a few hours until it started to sleet and so we headed home. Not too long after that it started snowing! We put Wyatt down for a nap, watched a movie, and watched the snow fall.

 

Once he woke up from a nap we let Wyatt experience his first snow!

 

 

He was a little confused as to what it was, but I think he enjoyed it nonetheless. He kept saying "know" the whole time. I love how he can't really say his "S" and so it has been "know" and "Tanta."

 

Wyatt's second Christmas was so wonderful. I'm still a little shocked that it was actually a WHITE Christmas!!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at Mimi and Pawpaw's house. Wyatt was so much fun this year!

 

We started out with Indian Tacos. We quickly tore through those and immediately went to the living room to open presents!

Wyatt of course got the first present and he took his sweet little time opening his presents.

Once he finally got his opened he was the designated present passer outer.

What was hilarious about it was that Wyatt gave every single present to Uncle Jason. He was literally throwing them to him. Luckily there wasn't any breakables in there!

Wyatt thought his presents were something you climb on and slide down.

He had us in stitches!

 

Mom got Claire a Violet (the girl equivalent to Scout). Turns out we shouldn't have opened it in front of Wyatt. I immediately had to take her out of the box so he could hold her and he wouldn't let her out of his sight. I tried numerous times to take her away but everytime Wyatt would panic anytime she was out of his sight. Finally, when he was pre-occupied I took her upstairs. Mimi had put her away until Claire gets here and can actually (hopefully) fall in love with her. However, I am pretty positive that Wyatt is going to put up a tough fight over her.

Family picture. Wyatt looks enthused, right?

Mimi got Wyatt ready for the snow!! He looks like a little Russian boxer.

 

We had such a fun Christmas with Mimi, Pawpaw, and Uncle Jason. Wyatt just seems to get more and more fun each year so I can only imagine next year with him!
