A Merry Little Christmas

Christmas Day was nothing short of wonderful. We got to spend the day with family and just take it nice and easy. Our day stared with presents at our house.

The Little Guy giving Katelyn her present from him. He was so exited to give it to her. Her face says it all

Of course every present had to get it's time before moving on to the next one

We spent all day trying to keep wrapping paper out of Katelyn's mouth

The Little Guy was the best at helping Baby Kate open her presents. He would actually get her involved in it and try to get her exited about what the present was

All his presents from Santa, Daddy, Mommy and Katelyn

With all her presents (Took seven tries to get this picture as she would not stay still)

Once all our presents were opened we got dressed and headed to the Keeles. Santa had a RC car track set up and ready for the Little Guy when we got there. 

After the utter destruction of the Keele's living room, we sat in to wait for Tio Nate to call

Katelyn and Grandma Julie with a nap

 We waited for a long time. A really long time (seriously like 2 and a half hours) But finally!!!!!

Talking to him was so fun. He had a ton of stories to tell us and we had a ton to tell him. The funniest thing was his accent. He has the exact accent of someone who doesn't speak English trying to speak English. We miss you so much Tio Nate!

As soon as we were done talking to Tio Nate we hurry and packed everything and went to the Titas (we had to hurry as it was already 1 PM) and got everything ready for lunch. Seriously it was so good!!!! (I would like to take some credit for it as I did make all of those milanesas). The Little Guy was being a super grumpy bug at this time (waking up super early and a lack of a nap will do that to you). The only hiccup of the lunch was the Little Guy chocking on a piece of bread. It was only for a second and really not a big deal but he got really scared. After that he just sat on the couch and watched Rise of the Guardians. Which was actually good for me because I got to eat in peace.

Katelyn also refused to nap

Santa also hit it out of the park at the Tita's for the Little Guy with a drum set in his size. This is not a great picture (I could only get him to sit still long enough for one picture and that was it) but it's a full on drum set with a base drum petal, an awesome seat and everything. To no one's surprise, he LOVES IT!

Before everyone went to take a nap (we actually had to go wake up Spencer, David and Laura) we celebrated with a toast (it's and Argentine thing). We had both sparkling cider and the grape stuff. YUM!

Then we got out Santa's other present for the Little Guy a CTR Town. He specially loves that it has the SLC Temple and a church and loves taking his cars to the Temple.

Tia Vero had to be back in Price that night because she had to work at 7 AM the next day so my parents decided to take her down around 4 four before it got dark and stared snowing. We decided to go back to the Keele's house and had dinner there (yummy home-made Cafe Rio) and watched ELF. Our plan was to go back to the Tita's but by the time the movie was over the kids really needed to be put to bed so we went home instead.

The Little Guy loved his firetruck from Santa so much he refused to go to bed without it (don't be fooled by this angel face. It took us an hour and a half to them to go to sleep)

Since we hadn't been able to go back to the Tita's on Christmas we went back the next day and had what Spencer called "Second Christmas". We played in the snow and then went swimming for a long time. It really was the perfect holiday!
