A Full Day of Christmas

We started the day with Breakfast with Santa at Town Hall.  I have heard about this event for the past few years, and we were fortunate to get tickets early.  It was awesome, and we will make this a new family tradition.  The breakfast was super laid back, and there were lots of fun craft activities for the boys.  The morning was complete when Santa arrived to visit and take pictures with the kiddos.

After breakfast, we were in full Christmas mode.  We ran some errands, did some shopping, wrapped gifts, and finished decorating the house.  We were all worn out by 7:30.  Goodnight, my sweet boys.

Different views of bedtime

As we wrapped the first day at Nana's house, we started getting ready for bed. Reed is still smiling and giggling.
On the other hand, Ryland has completely unraveled. He has thrown a temper tantrum and informed us that he "hates us all". I swear that is what it sounded like. I have no idea where he heard the word hate, but through his screaming and crying he needed to release the anger. He needs to go to bed to get some rest.

So very sleepy

Ryland fought going to bed tonight with everything he had. John Chris's parents are in town to visit, and he was loving every moment. His fussiness was over the top, and we finally had to end the whining with a trip to the crib.
