A Trumpet and a Peppermint

 Yes, it's embarrassing that I am still catching up on Christmas but the kids birthdays are right around the corner and I want to make sure I'm caught up.  Christmas morning was just perfect.  Both kids came down so excited to see what Santa left.  Griffin got a new bike and Ella got a princess castle with "yee haws" (horses) for their main gifts.  A few days before Christmas I found this trumpet I had ordered for Griff last Christmas and apparently forgot to give him, so I stuck it under the tree too.  Well, of course after all the buying, wrapping, and planning that last minute find was the toy both kids went for first!  Ha.  The kids loved going through their stockings and all their other gifts.  Griff has a major sweet tooth and his other favorite gift was a huge peppermint stick.  We spent all morning into afternoon in our PJ's just playing our new toys and Mimi and Pops.  We also had a nice breakfast and mimosas for the adults and hot chocolate for the kids.  It was just perfect!

 Notice the peppermint stick?

 Sweet Ella loves the trumpet too…she's actually pretty good!
 I was worried Ella wouldn't love her princess castle because she's not real into girly things yet, but she actually LOVED it!  She kept telling me she wanted a horse so she was excited with how they clip clopped down the ramps.  




 Griffin got a set of magna tiles and both kids have spent MANY hours building things together!
