Nap Christmas
Sorry this has taken so long. It took me three days, three 24 hour periods to get all of the stuff uploaded to Flickr and YouTube. Anyway, this is part I in a three part post on Christmas 2013. It seems like such a long time ago, but the reality is it was not even three weeks ago. As has been the tradition over the past few years we start the festivities at Colby/Myles's house.
Isaac, of course, made out like a bandit. Well, frankly, everyone did:
The boys were very good, eating and playing and just hanging out for quite some time before going present crazy, but there was an equilibrium point at which the inevitable had to happen. They went a little bonkers chanting and marching, wanting presents. It was not, I repeat NOT, because I started marching around shouting "PRESENTS PRESENTS!". Okay, so it was. It was just too exciting to wait.
Here they are with their GG just prior to presentmania:
Isaac got a set of costumes from Nanni and Poppa Dom and they were a HUGE hit. It was a Melissa and Doug set with chef, fireman, and pirate outfits. each was more adorable than the next. Here is the little pirate doing his pirate thing:
The festivities continued and Uncle Dom got an awesome present--indoor snowballs. Here we are pelting each other amidst a sea of gifts:
After that it was off to Uncle John's for Christmas Eve dinner and yummy stuffies. Isaac was intent on finding out who there was a Sculimbrene so he asked everyone. He also got an awesome HUGE floor puzzle. Then the night started to wind down and we got him to calm down a little, just in time for Bianca's Uncle John to read him and Colby "The Night Before Christmas"
Overall, it was a fantastic day and a great lead up to Christmas itself.
