Christmas

Catching a breath here, we were so busy coming back from Disneyland. We had all the children's well checks the next morning at Dr. Sudha's. Caden's 4 year, Riordan's 2 year, and Teagan's 9 month. Thankfully Daddy was able to come with us.
Caden had to get 4 shots, and Riordan one. Teagan none.
Stats are:
Caden 42 inches tall and 38 pounds (my little beanpole)
Riordan 37 inches tall and 32 pounds (he's gonna be a stud!)
Teagan 27 inches tall and 18 pounds (such a peanut)

Christmas Eve we drove around our area and looked at Christmas lights and then headed to our neighbors for a little cocktail and appetizers. Then once we got the children down, Mike and I put toys together and wrapped. Santa brought Caden an air hockey, fooz ball, ping pong table with chess, checkers and backgammon. Mike was a bit frustrated with that, so while he did that I put together Teagan's Discovery playhouse, her matching Pottery Barn Kids Chair, and wrapped the rest of the gifts.
Caden's rule was that he had to stay in bed all night or Santa won't be able to come and leave presents. He said though, if Santa already came then he can sleep in our bed, which we were trying to get him to stay in his. So sure enough about 3 am, he comes into our room and says "Mommy! Santa came and he brought me air hockey!!" and then he layed down and passed back out! LOL It was absolutely adorable!
Santa brought Riordan an acoustic guitar. He lovessss his Daddy's guitar and always for over a year wants to play it. So it was a no brainer for us this year. He too woke up in the middle of the night. Mike was with Teagan and heard him get up. Riordan went to the tree and went straight for the guitar (it was not wrapped). He just knew it was his and he began to play it. Mike scooped him up and took him back to bed, as he screamed " 'tar, tar tar!" He did go back to sleep but he was right back at it in the morning and had no interest in unwrapping any gifts. So Caden helped him out by unwrapping them.
It was a wonderful Christmas morning. Caden had also asked Santa in Disneyland for a toy gun. Preferably a BB Gun. However, Santa guided Caden to more of a toy gun explaining he was too young for such power. Thank you Santa! So both he and Riordan got Buzz Lightyear guns, and boy can they get loud sometimes!
We had dinner with our wonderful neighbors. The food was all so yummy and Carol's table was decorated so beautiful.
It all seemed to go by so quickly. We have been creating some wonderful memories.
I have pictures that I'll post tomorrow. I just needed to get my wording down before I lost it all...
