Present wrapping, unpacking the boxes from Aunt Tara and Nana. And clearing a space for the gifts from Santa.
Wow. Look at all those presents. How fortunate are we? Particularly since this is round two!?
I'd been so far behind this season, I hadn't even gotten the mantle decorated (and never did) or the stockings hung (which is why they're not hung on the mantle). Still short an initial pin for Parker's stocking. Couldn't buy that ahead last year.
After about midnight, I went to bed. Then Ray woke up about 2 am and realized he wasn't done wrapping presents. He completed that task and went back to bed. We closed the pocket doors to the living room so Maia wouldn't go in and start opening gifts before she came downstairs to wake us.
When we finally did go in... Here's what Santa left for Maia and Parker.
These amazing kid friendly chairs, that come with canopies, snack trays, 3-point harness and a feature that makes the chair serve as a little stand-up play yard. I found a fantastic deal on them, and had to make sure that Santa put these on their list.
Santa made sure to identify which chair belonged to whom by taking their initial ornaments off the tree and attaching them to the chairs. He also included something fun to unwrap.
He probably didn't need to do that, though... Maia was very excited about her chair, and thought she would really just like to stay in it all morning and maybe eat her breakfast in it.
Parker did well in his, too.
There were toys, toys, and more toys! Maia did want to open each one and play with it.
Parker was delighted with his toys, too! Although he had to share with Maia... who was just as excited about his toys as he was.
And at the end... ? Ooooh, so much more clean up!
Well. At least it's all in one place now!
