I was so excited for Lincoln because he was old enough to have an understanding what Christmas was all about. And it was Winston's first Christmas.
Lincoln knew about Santa Claus and Reindeer and presents.
I was so so SO excited for him to wake up on Christmas morning and see all his presents from Santa.
Well, that wonderful tummy bug was still affecting Lincoln. He was so sad and so mellow.
As soon as he woke up, he came into our room and said, (in a soft whisper) Santa Claus? Reindeer?
I got up quickly and said YES! Santa Came!
We then raced him to the tree and he just climbed on the couch and asked for chocolate milk. We gave it to him and next thing we knew he was throwing it up. poor guy.
When it was time to open our stockings I handed Lincoln his and he threw it on the floor and just cried. He so didn't feel good. James had to help him open his stocking and see what little toy Santa put in his stocking. As soon as he saw Thomas, he showed the first smile of the morning.
The started getting a little more energy as he opened each present. He got some fun things including: clothes, wabble toys, an animal tractor, trains, trains and more trains.
Winston enjoyed his first christmas as well! He enjoyed laying on his blanket :) Winston got: a stuffed animal, clothes, an awesome tummy time pillow, exersaucer and books and rattles.
James got some clothes, cologne, a movie, and a nice jacket.
I got a nice watch, a wallet, sunglasses and a giftcard to a spa :)
After our morning of opening presents we all go ready and headed to Johns house to see what Santa brought them. We enjoyed eating and playing with all their new fun toys.
For Dinner we were invited to Kelli's and Nick's house. Jana and Jake and their family came, but we missed Mitch and Steph. We had such a great time together! I love when we can have family time. I just need Jana to move back to Utah :)
We had a great dinner of ham (thanks mom and dad), potatoes, veggies and a yummy cake for dessert. Unfortunately I only took these 2 pictures.
When we got home that evening, I came down with the stomach bug. Yuck. It totally ruined Christmas vacation. We stayed home. We didn't go anywhere or be with family because we didn't want the nasty bug to keep spreading. I so wanted to play with my boys and go sledding and hanging with my family. But, we didn't :(
James and Lincoln did however find lots of opportunities to shovel all the snow we received! I will say, having a White Christmas made it feel extra Christmasy :)
