Christmas

Yay!  Christmas!  We were so excited to celebrate Magnus' and Ragnar's first Christmas.  Auntie spent the night and so she was with us when we all woke up.  I nursed the boys while Nate made us yummy egg nog waffles and bacon.  We ate breakfast and then the boys saw what Santa had left them.... cars!

Magnus figured out how to move forward as soon as we put him on his car.  Ragnar scooted backwards for a bit.  Then they played with their stocking stuffers (wooden cars) for about 2 seconds because they noticed the gate was down from around the tree and the presents were accessible. 

They both crawled to the tree as fast as they could, so Auntie started handing out presents for them to unwrap.  I had anticipated that they would unwrap something and then either want to play with the wrapping paper/box or want to play with the toy they unwrapped.  I was very wrong.  They wanted to unwrap everything!  Once something was unwrapped, they would try to crawl and get something new to unwrap.  We unwrapped gifts for a bit and then it was naptime.

While the boys napped the adults opened their Christmas gifts and got dressed and ready to go to church.  Once naptime was over, Magnus and Ragnar opened the rest of their gifts.  They then played a bit before we went to church.

It was wonderful to be at church together, but as usually on Christmas, it was a PACKED chapel!  Luckily, I had 2 extra adults with me to help out.  Ragnar and Papa left the chapel after half an hour to walk around the halls and Magnus and Auntie followed shortly after.  I was left alone and after hearing shrieks from the hallways that sounded like my boys I decided to leave too.  It was a nice service (from what I saw) and I'm glad we were able to attend part of it.

After church we came home ate lunch and the boys then napped.  We kinnected with Gramsie and Grumpa and Aunt Katie and Uncle Spencer.  Then we spent a relaxing afternoon talking on the phone with relatives and playing with the boys.  We ate a snackie dinner and then the boys went to bed. 

It was a wonderful first Christmas with Ragnar & Magnus.
