Mystic Christmas

We were supposed to have Christmas at Grandma Ann's house, but a snowstorm was blowing in, and with all of our upcoming travel plans, we couldn't risk getting snowed in up there. Luckily our family loves us, and they (and Santa!) were willing to accommodate us, and Christmas in Connecticut was a go! We started with a yummy french toast casserole, and some very excited little ones. Some of the highlights from the hectic morning include: 

Dominic opened up his first Christmas present ever--a travel spoon! He also got the most adorable elf outfit from Grandma Ann. 

Zachary got EXACTLY what he'd been ASKING for the last few MONTHS. The tiki hideout, the jolly roger, the TMNT secret sewer lair...plus much much more! He was enthusiastic, and appreciative, and so so happy. 

Elara happily played with her toys, Zachary's toys, Dominic's toys, wrapping paper. I think her favorite toy from Christmas in Connecticut was the Violet puppy that Zachary insisted that Grandma Ann buy for her. 

It wasn't exactly how we thought things would go down, but it was a very merry and wonderful start to the holiday season.
