So Santa is a smart guy! He brought presents to Michigan and to Atlanta. The boys did a great job opening their gifts, and they actually took some time this year to look at each thing before moving onto the next gift. We did have a couple snafus with sharing the new things, but that seems to be the daily battle. The jury is still out on whether they should get the same thing or not!
Brian seems to like this a bit more than Andrew, but it's a great project for them to work on together. It is a model of a car that you rebuild the engine, lots of new names and pieces, but I'm sure we'll have it figured out in no time!
Surprise, Santa brought gifts to our house too. Telling the boys that story seemed to be our saving grace. If they seemed disappointed or too tired to leave the airport, we let them know that Santa probably stopped at our house too. Thank goodness he did!
All in all, it's been a wonderful Christmas season. We tried to put a little more meaning into the actual Christmas story and the birth of baby Jesus, and less emphasis on the gifts. I'm sure it will be a lesson that we work on every year.
We are excited to finish out 2011, and move on to another happy year!
