Well I'm about a month late, but I suppose better late than never can apply here: it's about time I posted about Christmas... Zeegan's very first Christmas, Rocco's 4th CHristmas, My (...we wont go there....) CHristmas, and Seth's (...not there either!...) Christmas!
So we'll start with Christmas Eve day... We went to G-Grammy Petersen's house and decorated cookies. Rocco was so precise when it came to frosting spreading and sprinkle distribution---future surgeon on our hands!
It was lots of fun! The cousins were all there, and once we were through with decorating we had Pizza and played games and talked. Then, CHristmas eve afternoon we went back to G-Grandparent Petersen's house and had a delicious dinner and played games with all the family and read and reinacted the Christmas Story. It was fun and even Rocco was willing to participate (which is kind of a big deal- he's a bit of a stand in the corner and ignore everyone kind of guy- rarely participates!).
After Christmas Eve dinner at G-Grandparents Petersen's home, we went to Grammy and Grampa Purcell's house and celebrated Christmas with them! (Seth's dad had to work Christmas day, so we opened presents and did the celebrating on Christmas Eve so Grampa Freddy could be a part of everything!). I couldn't believe how many presents there were (altho I suppose when there are presents for 14+ people, there should be alot...)! Rocco was SOOOOOO excited! He could barely wait between turns! Zeegan was excited too, but i don't actually think she had any idea what was going on, she was just picking up on everybody else's excitement... She did love her toy horse from Grammy and Grampa tho!
After Grammy and Grampa Purcell's house, we went home and re-read the Christmas story and then read a winter's tale pop-up book, put out cookies and milk, and finally put the kiddos to bed... Then Santa came!
Christmas Day
Christmas Day dawned bright and early! Rocco and Zeegan LOVED the gifts that Santa left for them! They really didn't care one way or another about the clothes Mommy and Daddy got them, but they were SOOOOO EXCITED about their Santa presents... And Seth liked the Home Molecular Gastronomy cooking kit I got him, and I LOVE the cookbook set (Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc and French Laundry) Seth got for me! But mostly, we just loved being together... I love Holidays with my family!
After opening presents and having breakfast at Grammy's house we tested out all the new toys! The favorite testing was with Rocco's new remote control Lightening McQueen and Tokyo Mater... Rocco and Daddy LOVED racing the cars and ZeeZee and Mommy loved our walk! Christmas time is so fun... especially when it's warm enough outside for a walk!!!
Then Christmas Day afternoon we all went to LA to the Fire Station! Rocco loves going there cuz he gets to climb around in the fire trucks and then they take us on rides in it around the city with the lights flashing and the siren blaring... Zeegan even got excited about the fire engines! She was seriously bouncing up and down... adorable! and Grampa Freddy loved having his whole family there.
MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!
