Christmas morning Connor was much more eager to go downstairs than last year (last year we had to talk him into checking out his loot). This year he was the first one down stairs after me. I thought I took pictures, but apparently not as this was the only one on my camera...oh well. The kids fared pretty well. Connor's stuff is on the left, then daddy's, mommy's and Chloe's is on the right. The stockings that I didn't finish last year, I once again didn't finish this year. I made sure I got the needlepoint part done for everyone and then couldn't figure out how to get the cuff on the stocking, so hence the names are all missing from them. My mom told me she would help me this week, so next year they'll be ready :)
As for other gifts-Connor got a new Twenty Trucks shirt and the second DVD of Truck Tunes, Candyland, a cement mixer, a cherry picker truck, a memory game, books, apron, a dinosaur pillow pet, pajamas and a bucket of gears. Chloe got an elephant ball popper, a vacuum, clothes, a shopping cart, pajamas, a frog and a doll. Peter got some shirts, and a pajama shirt. I got a foot massager and some jewelry. Together we got a Roku, a gift card for dinner out and sonicare toothbrushes.
We did Christmas morning at our own house. Then my parents, Josh and Bubba came over for breakfast and to see what we got. We gave them their presents then as well. After they left Chloe napped and the rest of us played with our goodies. Later we went to Sean and Amy's house for dinner and present exchange with cousins.
On the 26th Abbie and Rafe came into town and we spent the day with them and E and P were also in town. We had a great Christmas break!
Today we went to the USS Iowa Battleship in San Pedro. David, Peter, Connor, Chloe and I enjoyed the battleship. On the drive there Chloe puked in her car seat. At one point Connor announces that it smells back there and then the fumes wafted up to the front seat....it was pretty bad. We arrived and I changed Chloe while Peter cleaned out the seat. Then we went in and enjoyed the battleship.

We had a great time, Peter is already talking about going and seeing it again, he picked up several buy one get one free passes. The weather held up pretty well for us. It was a bit chilly, but it didn't rain while we were there, which was nice. On our way home it rained pretty hard. We stopped for lunch at Cafe Rio, one of Peter's favorite places (we still don't know why there are no locations near us). Then we got back in the puke smelling car and drove home. Once home I showered Chloe and then we took the car seat apart and threw it in the washing machine. The shell needed to be hosed off, but since it was raining I put it out in the rain to get washed off.
