Christmas in Northern Cal

To be honest, I have sort of dreaded the Christmas post because there were just so many pictures to try to filter through. Here is a little break-down of all the fun and excitement we had!

After helping Grandma decorate it, here are Dylan and Tyler sampling Uncle Alvin's Birthday cake

Opening Gifts at Grandma and Grandpa Shek's house

On Christmas morning, Tyler woke up and refused to open any gifts until he was ready. He sat on my lap and snuggled with me and kept saying that he was just "too tired" to open any presents. About 20 minutes later, his wackiness emerged and he started to get into the fun.

But, he still was not quite ready to begin. Being the diva that he is, he moved a little closer to the tree, requested to be bundled in a blanket and waited a little longer.

Meanwhile, Dylan patiently walked around drooling over all the gifts from Santa. He kept looking at us as if he were saying, "I think Santa got it wrong because this scooter actually was supposed to go to me!"

Once the diva was finally ready, the crazy gift-unwrapping commenced

After some serious scooter-riding, Tyler decided to take Kellen's wheels out for a spin. Dylan was happy to go along for the ride.

Christmas Dinner with Lari's family and my parents

The next day, we were able to unwind by hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa Shek's house. Dylan played a little Chopin for all to enjoy.

Santa's sleigh must have been too full when he dropped off the toys up in Northern California because when we got home, we were all surprised to find another gift for Dylan under our tree.

Dylan and Jake would be buddies. Jake has the same basketball hoop in our house and LOVES it. Every night after dinner we have a game.
