Christmas

On Christmas Eve, we took the kids downtown to see the Denver Zoo Lights. It was very chilly, but we had a wonderful time. On the way there, Kristi and Brandon both fell asleep in the car. However, they were both wide-eyed with excitement when they seen all the lights!

Trying to stay warm in all of the layers of clothes and blankets.

They had the zoo train running and decorated with lights so we had to take a ride.

The zoo had the elephant and giraffe indoor exhibits open so people could come inside and warm up.

Christmas morning finally arrived and the kids were so stoked to see all the presents that Santa left them. Kristi was especially excited to see how busy Santa was at our house.

Brandon did very well opening his presents. While he was fascinated with the wrapping paper he couldn't resist the urge to rip it.

Kristi was so excited to get the toy that she asked Santa for. Kota the Triceratops was number one on her wish list for Santa.

Brandon got this Learning Home that he LOVES. Kristi sets on one side of the door and he on the other and the play together for the longest time.

Christmas afternoon was spent first at Grandma and Papa's house. They had loads more presents there to tear into. Grandma Sherrie came over to our house later that afternoon. I unfortunately forgot to take pictures of the kids with Grandma Janet, Papa and Grandma Sherrie - Sorry Guys! Chad and I were very busy putting together a sea of toys so that the kids could play with them.
