Christmas 2012

Merry Christmas from the Powells!

After everyone was asleep on Christmas Eve, Santa arrived:




Alas, the night was somewhat marred by Elliot randomly being awake from 11:30 PM - 1:30 AM for unknown reasons, and then waking at 5 AM for the day on Christmas morning...he seemed remarkably unaffected by it (although Mike and I were hurting):


We decided that since we were already up, we may as well wake up our good sleeper (note how pitch black it is outside in these pictures...it was EARLY!) so he could see the Santa gifts and open stockings. The Lego sets and Lego storage that Santa brought was a big hit:






Then after a breakfast break we moved on to the rest of the gifts:








While we unwrapped, it started snowing...a white Christmas!


Later in the day there was a lot of testing of new toys:


A LOT of Lego building:


And some general hanging out:


It was a low key, staying in, wearing pajamas, and being together kind of day - perfect.

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!
