The boys were up bright and early this morning — Finn came in to our room about 5:00 but then fell back asleep, thankfully. Ezra came in about 6:00 and then it was just too crowded for me so I got up to make some coffee. I was joined, shortly thereafter, by Ezra who came downstairs and said, “Mommy, I think it may be Christmas Eve and that’s the day we get to open one of our presents.” I held them off as long as I could … until just before 8:00 a.m.
Later Bruce took the boys on a bike ride in the Arroyo, which gave me time to finish wrapping the last two presents for the boys. I also straightened out the stockings and came upon Ezra’s updated Christmas list, which I have to share.
Translation:
Ezra’s Christmas List
1 Hexbug Hive
2 Hotwheel sets
1 Cars 2 Color Changers set and 1 different car
2 remote control spiders that can walk on the wall and the ceiling
1 nonfiction Emperor Penguin book
2 Emperor Penguin stuffed animals
2 Emperor Penguin costumes
2 Hexbugs
1 Emperor Penguin hospital
2 remote control off-road trucks
There are two of things because this stuff is for Finn, too, which is sweet. I think my favorite misspelling is “zeeling” for ceiling.
