Happy Seis de Enero (or the 6th of January) to everyone! Today is the Epiphany, the day the 3 wise men brought gifts to baby Jesus. This is the 12th day of Christmas, marking the end of the holiday. Jason and I always celebrate our Christmas on this day, as we are back settled in our home. This year was no exception. Christmas is so much fun with a child! We woke up this morning and had coffee and cocoa. Unfortunately, we didn't have any holiday cookies left around...something we'll remember next year!
Everyone (Daddy, Mommy, Evan, and Daisy) all opened their stockings from Santa first. Evan got some cool stuff...a book, Cheerios, snack-trap containers, and some mini cars... Daisy was really excited to open her gifts as well...Evan got a ball popper toy which uses forced air to pop these balls up and if they stay in the toy, they'll roll back down and pop back up again. He has a lot of fun with it and quickly learned how to push the red button to cause it to start. Santa also gave Evan a huge fire truck filled with blocks!We have a musical clock that opens and sings Christmas songs (or regular songs when it is not the holiday season). Evan loves the clock and will stop everything he's doing to stare at it. Here he is "ooooohing" at it...Merry Christmas everyone!
