Santa Claus came to our house over the weekend and left quite a lot of presents for little Gavin. On Christmas Eve, we braved the icey roads and went to Jason's grandmother's, where they have a huge party every year, complete with a Santa. Gavin got to sit on Santa's lap and got a present - he was not upset at all about Santa, as I expected him to be. In fact he seemed rather happy about it.
Saturday, we had the morning to ourselves. We ate the cinammon rolls I had made the day before (yummiest recipe ever - just like Cinnabon!) and opened presents. Gavin got bored pretty quickly and soon he just wanted to eat wrapping paper and pull ornaments off the tree, but before that happened he tugged at the paper on one or two presents.
In the afternoon, my grandparents, mom, and Aileen came over for Christmas dinner, then we all went to Shannon's house for yummy snacks and more present exchanging in the evening. It was a lovely day and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Jason and I got gift certificates for two dinners and two movies from my mom - "babysitting assurance" she calls it. Assurance indeed. We cannot wait to go out!
