Jess and Kameran were supposed to fly out yesterday morning, but the weather (SNOW!) led to flight cancellations at Philadelphia International. So, their Christmas visit was extended a couple days. That’s okay, especially for Kameran who was looking forward to a white Christmas this year!

A rather pouty Snow Bunny…

It’s Christmas morning, and the kids are still asleep, well, not really asleep, the boys are playing in their cribs and Kameran is in that twilight realm between dreams and reality. Just enough time to capture the moment just before the carnage begins…

The kids’ stockings…

Santa brought the boys a train table. This is the “Before” picture:

After: The San Francisco earthquake!

Look what I got! What is it??

Look what I got

So many presents, so little time…

Opening presents

So much wrapping paper mess! 😉

Although this was technically the boys second Christmas, it was the first time they really knew (or at least had an idea that) something was going on.

Their stockings were hung by the chimney with care…

Were you boys good this year? I don’t know….

Finally! They got to open their presents!

Of course they would rather play with the wrapping paper, than the presents…

Now we have to get all this stuff back home! I’m thinking we’ll need a U-Haul! ( sigh )

Today we took a little road trip to Hershey, PA, to see the Christmas lights. The weather was rainy and cold, but that didn’t stop us. We bundled up the kids and headed out. The boys and Kameran had a blast, and so did the grown-ups. While visiting the Hershey candy museum, we took a little “how we make chocolate” tour, with singing cows and swirling chocolate. Alex thoroughly enjoyed the ride…

The boys first visit with Santa. They didn’t quite know what to make of the “jolly old elf”, but they really seemed to take a liking to him. Alex especially liked his beard …
