Santa is the best! He delivered a train as requested. Brock zeroed in on it first and within moments they were both pointing and saying, "a train, a train, look, Santa brought us a train!" The hope, the expectation and then the sheer joy of looking down at your hearts desire. They took the slow and savor approach to Christmas morning and would not be rushed (which I fully endorse). Santa also left a supply of sugar cereals on the kitchen table. Kedrick was in bewilderment. "Why, why would, why whould Santa leave us sugar cereal?" He mulled it over a few minutes and then came up with the satisfactory explanation, "I know why Santa left sugar cereal. Because snow tastes sweet and that is why he left the sugar cereal." And with that he delved into a bowl of Apple Jacks. Brock chose the Fruity Cheerios.
We never left the house Christmas day but we managed to cook up our first turkey dinner! Kedrick came into the kitchen and said "who's coming over for dinner?" When I replied nobody he was a bit confused why the tablecloth and all the food. I felt a huge sense of accomplishment and feel I have completed the final step into adulthood, cooking my own turkey. I relished in the cranberry sauce with lime and orange zest. The lime and pear jello (which sounds disgusting as do most jello recipes but is actually something I crave) was presented to me with a bow on top by my sister and was one of my favorite things to eat for days.

Such precious pictures. Was Brock trying to lick the train, or does his tong come out when he is concentrating really hard?
I love the train pictures. Could anything be more cute? I felt really adult on Christmas morning. I was frying up the bacon and realized I was making Christmas morning breakfast thus making Jeff and I the parents. It really made us feel old. But it was so fun to be home. I wish we could have done the whole day like you guys. Had I known you were making turkey and decorating up, I would have skipped the airplane and come to your house.
That is the cutest story! I miss being able to wear shorts on Christmas day! When are you guys coming to So. Utah...we miss our San Diego friends!
That looks like an amazing train. Do you happen to know where santa got it? What a beautiful dinner. You should be very proud!
I am wishing I was there! Their pjs are so cute. Kedrick is so smart. I am envious you have a turkey under your belt. And, the dinner is divine!
