On Tuesday we celebrated the Winter Solstice. In the morning when the kids got up, we all opened our presents. They were pretty excited!
Here are pics of their favorites. The rest of the photos will be in a Facebook photo album.
Leo's favorite was his Lightening McQueen "Shake and Go" car. Leo also got puzzles, a recycling truck, tub toys, a new bedding set, and books.
Here, Flora is dressing her Polly Pocket. This was definitely one of her favorites, but it was a toss up between Polly, Princess nightgowns, and a pretty pink dress. She also got puzzles and books, as well as a DVD, slippers, and dishes for the play kitchen.
Tom got a new travel coffee mug and a alarm clock/dock for his iPhone.
I got a travel coffee mug, a necklace, a bracelet that says,"a mother holds her children's hand for a short while, but their hearts forever", and prenatal yoga classes.
For the rest of the morning, the kids played with their new stuff. Then it was lunch time, then nap time.
Since they both decided not to nap that day, Tom(I was out running errands) decided to get them out of bed and geared up to go play in the snow fort he created for them(see pics in the Facebook album).
When I got home, I made "Penne with Asparagus and Mushroom Cream Sauce" with a little salad on the side that Tom made. It was pretty tasty!
After supper we snuggled up on the couch and watched the new movie the kids got, "Despicable Me". Then it was early bedtime seeing as the kids didn't nap.
Overall it was a pretty relaxed day.
Hope you had a Happy Solstice!
(Too bad it was too cloudy to see the lunar eclipse. I find it really interesting that the full moon, the eclipse, and the Solstice all fell on the same day.)
