Christmas morning Emron woke up about the usual time, 6:45ish, and we all came down stairs to find stockings and new gifts under the tree. Emron was immediately drawn to his new bike! He sat on it, and asked us to push him around the house, then he discovered the helmet. We put on his new "hat" he didn't want to take it off. Once the novelty of the bike wore off, or maybe it was the distraction of other presents, anyway, we moved on and opened stockings. Emron loved his new reindeer slippers and was able to finagle some first-thing-in-the-morning treats. Meanwhile, my cinnamon rolls had risen beautifully overnight and were placed in the oven. Emron opened presents, Murry opened presents, and I opened presents. Before we finished we needed a breakfast break. My first ever cinnamon rolls turned out really well, Murry thought they were awesome, Emron was too distracted to really care. Then it was back to the gifts. When we got to the Harry and David basket from my mom and step-dad, Emron bit into one of the apples before we knew what happened! Apparently, he wanted a healthy breakfast, what a goose! We continued with the great gifts, Emron understood unwrapping this year, but was definitely overwhelmed.
Anyway, we finished gifts and went to the park with Emron's new bike. We came home and took naps, we had a laid back dinner, and just a really nice day.
Thank you to everyone for the great gifts! We love them! And now for my lameness... No pictures on this post, instead, click here.
I hope you all had a really nice holiday. We sure did even though we were missing our families, always miss you guys!
XOXO,
Aspen

Wow! I'm glad I inspired. Can I just say I am extremely jealous of the cinnamon rolls. I SO wanted to make them for Christmas morning, but don't have a recipe I can adapt for the boys. Perhaps next year. By the way, Adam has the same PJs as Emron does. I'm so glad you had a great Christmas! What did you get?
