Santa Came!

What a crazy wonderful few days! Christmas has come and gone, but the memories will remain. Emily and Liam are at the perfect age for the magic of Christmas. Emily was so excited Christmas morning that she was up at 1:00 a.m. because she swore she heard Santa cough. She finally fell asleep around 3:00 a.m. and Liam woke her up at 8:20 a.m. Down the stairs they ran to the living room and presents under the tree. Mine and Todd's parents were here as well which was a great treat, having both sets of grandparents Christmas morning. We then headed over to Todd's sister's house for Christmas day dinner.

Boxing Day was pretty casual, but busy. We spent most of the day outside; Todd starting up his Christmas present (a chainsaw), tobogganing (before having a couple of accidents), skating on the community outdoor ice rink and finally Zoo Lights with friends. Todd and I are both off work this week, so we're enjoying time with the kids.
