Notes From Nelson: Christmas Morning

This is one for the books. (Well literally for the books because I'm including it in my book right now). This is the first time since mom and dad have been together that we/they haven't had something scheduled on Christmas. We always get so jealous of our friends who say they spent the whole day in their PJs and lounged around with their family. Well this year, we were those people! We tried real hard to make this happen and we did!!

The morning was just glorious. Mimi and grandpa C were in town so that made it extra special to begin with. We got up a tad earlier than normal but who could blame you. The excitement of Christmas was in the air. So was the smell of cinnamon rolls because Mimi had those cookin for us!

It didn't take long to find a giant gift awaiting your destruction! You're very own kitchen!!

You sure did love the kitchen, but sure wished it had running water. Smarty Pants.

You had some other fun gifts in store too. Mr. Potato Head, a doctor kit, and some more books...your fav (not). You loved learning how to use all your doctor gadgets. Giving shots, checking knees, and temperatures. Maybe this will help you not flip out next time you have to go to the doctor.

After gifts we had a glorious breakfast of hot cinnamon rolls and a delicious egg casserole. Grandpa 'Bob' won some serious points with you by feeding you the cinnamon rolls....mmmmm sugar for Christmas. A Christmas Miracle. We spent the entire morning playing, eating, and all in our PJs. It was the best Christmas yet and hopefully our new tradition. Everyone had a blast, even Great Grandma Beletsky drove out to spend the morning with you (and to feed me some egg)
