The Christmas festivities started out with a visit to Mami and Papi's house for dinner last night with the Gonzalez family cousins. As usual, John was a little shy at first, but he eventually warmed up and started taking of articles of clothing. Nicholas felt comfortable from the get go and just jumped into the party with the older cousins immediately. When we made it home, we allowed the boys to open up their present from Mami & Papi. Upon opening his, John exclaimed, "At last, I have my lady bug DREAM LITE!" He had been asking for one since he first saw it on tv last year. Nicholas was ever so happy to open up his Penguin. Needless to say, they were so jazzed that they didn't fall asleep until after 10 PM.
Next, Santa made his stop to our apartment and left the boys their presents. The boys were kind enough to sleep in, but at 7 AM, we unleashed them on the presents. Nicholas and John were shocked to see that their cookies were eaten and that Santa had left them a thank you letter. Eventually, they started opening their presents from Santa and the rest of the family. Since they were good, they received many fun things in their stockings. Thankfully, they weren't visited by that crazy Moor, Black Pete.
