The boys let us sleep in longer than we expected this morning. Janelle made us fresh cinnamon rolls and we had fresh coffee brewed. Despite the vast array of gifts, the mess ended up being minimal. In short, it was a pleasant Christmas morning.
For a little while, I thought I would have to return Rowen's new battery-powered Nerf gun. However, Connor figured out the problem and averted that crisis. Trevor spent most of the day building his LEGO gift and playing Battle for Middle Earth II (which he has wanted for a very long time). The younger boys were playing with the Disney Infinity sets that I bought off of clearance shelves this summer and wrapped as "family" gifts. This is the first real video game that we have let Rowen play. It's taking him a bit to figure out the controls, but he's getting there.
Janelle made an amazing Christmas dinner with all of us pitching in. We watched White Christmas and the Holiday even though Janelle was in more of a Die Hard mood. Connor also started to learn how to crochet. which he kept pronouncing "croquet." Meanwhile Rowen had me build his LEGO Batcave (another clearance special). Surprisingly, it has more pieces than Krennic's Imperial Shuttle that Trevor put together.
The little boys are just now getting to bed. Trevor is going to take even more convincing. While I'm glad to finally be on vacation, I am unhappy that Janelle still has to go to work this week. At least it's been a good couple of days.
