Well Kids, Santa stopped by to talk to Dad while he was at the car wash and
just look at what he left for you!
He couldn't fit it in the sleigh with him so he gave it to Daddy to bring to you!
And....they never looked back!
Two very happy children.
DJ singing for his Great Grandpa Nicolai. Grandpa started singing Winter Wonderland and DJ started singing Five Little Monkeys Swinging in the Tree. Neither one knew each others song so they both kept singing till finally Grandpa gave in and listened to DJ.
Everyone together for a photo op.
Grandpa is messing with DJ.
DJ has a hold of his finger trying to keep him under control.
Happy as can be.
Dad showing Mom how to work her new Snap On Tool....ooops....I mean Jewelry Box.
Santa visited the Nicolai Household. He brought everyone gifts, except Cam and I.
Peyton noticed too! She said to Cam "Daddy.....Santa forgot you and Mom!"
Next year we will have to think that through a little better.
Christmas Morning ~ Huh, Santa did listen!
He cried for this Mickey every time he seen it in the store.
Hmmmm....what could this be?
We had such a fun Christmas morning at the house.
Peyton woke up first. She came to our bedroom and said
"Momma, he was here" "He left stuff in the living room!" "Come look!"
A little taste of the good stuff. Or so he thinks!
Working Hard to get the gifts open!
Peyton modeling her bracelets. Don't mind the tongue sticking out. It is a trend for the Nicolai blood.
Ok. Ever heard of the game Quelf?
Me either, till now.
We gave it a shot.
We laughed so hard I think at one point we were all crying.
Lois got to make Larry into a dummy and play out a story about a squirrel and a rabbit.
One of Kelli's rules was that she could not bend her arms or legs. They had to remain straight at all times.
Cam had to keep his hand in a bowl of warm water throughout the game.
I got to sing "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" in a different language (Dung, Doing, Da Dong Da Doing)
Tyler sang with his belly button.
Holly did some magic tricks.
All in all, we had fun.
Even Peyton enjoyed putting on a show for everyone by mimicking my every move.
Huge Sigh of Excitement!
My very own guitar!
I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas.
Time was spent with all family.
All sides, near and far.
The kids got everything they wanted and we didn't break the bank.
Everyone laughed.
At one point or another, everyone laughed.
Peyton said "Mom, this is the best day ever!"
DJ said "Santa come again tomorrow"
I can't wait to do it all over again!
