Christmas Morning

This was the scene early Christmas morning:

Santa was here


He left Reagan this:


And Bennett this:


And Ellery this:



The kids seemed pleased with their new modes of transportation:




Reagan seemed to think Sam had something to do with her new trike:



Bennett made for a scary Darth Vadar, thanks to his new helmet from Brighton and family, and his new lightsaber from Grandma and Grandpa Allen:



Ellery and Bennett picked out a leopard blanket for Reagan. It took her a second to warm up to it, but she eventually did:




Most of the morning, Elle could be found like this:

Thank goodness it was a fairly mild day, and Sam was able to take Elle and Bennett on the bike path to the park during Reagan's nap. Elle took off ahead of them.




It was a good day!

***Bennett really wanted a "two-wheeled scooter," as he called it, for Christmas. Ellery has a three-wheel Dora scooter she has had for a few years, and Bennett seems a bit awkward to me when he tries to ride it. So I had my doubts about how he would do with a two-wheel scooter, but just figured he will get the hang of it eventually. When they got back from the park on Christmas day, I asked Bennett how it went. His response was, "I think I need a three or four-wheeled scooter." Boy, he's cute.
