Then we came home, set out our treats for Santa and his reindeer, wrote letters to Santa, and opened 1 present that evening. The kids could hardly contain themselves the whole evening. They kept asking us if Santa had arrived in Reno yet and were looking for Rudolph's red flashing nose in the sky. It was awesome!
We told the kids not to come upstairs before 7 a.m. and fortunately they listened. Once they came up, they gathered in our room while we took a few pictures, which seemed like torture to them. Then we went out and started opening presents. We had our traditional Kringle for breakfast which was so delicious and we spent the whole day just relaxing at home and playing with all of the new toys.
Lastly, the next few pictures are from our ward christmas party in mid-December which I forgot to post. The kids all had fun sitting on Santa's lap, except for Evan who seem terrified of him this year. Go figure!
