All Partied Out

Christmas Day was so wonderful.  Cole received many Transformers (sigh), and Jack has taken over the Nanabots - we pretty much go through a set of batteries every day as he insists on carrying them around the house.  Pa and Nana came over for gift opening and breakfast, which was delicious as usual.  We went sledding later that morning, and the afternoon found us pretty tuckered out.

Merry Christmas to you all, and here's to a wonderful New Year!

Christmas Eve at the Allen's

We continued our wonderful Christmas Eve at Pa and Nana's.  The boys were so excited.  They loved their new PJs:

Cole was fascinated with the bat cave:

And Jack insisted on riding his new car backwards.

We finished off the night with some of my mom's delicious clam chowder, and made our way home in the snow.  We decorated some cookies for Santa, and went off to bed.  It really is the most wonderful time of the year!
