Oliver was the first to stroll into our bedroom at around 6:15am. We told him to climb into bed and asked him "Do you remember who was supposed to visit last night?". To which he mumbled "Huh?". It took a few more hints and questions before he exclaimed "Santa!". Stella was awake in her room and before long they were ready to head down.
First stop was their stockings and then they noticed stuff under the tree. Santa delivered a Kindle to each of them to use on the many long car rides that we go on to visit family throughout the year. They were super excited and we put them to use later in the morning when we headed to WI. I didn't grab any photos from the morning since it was dark and I wasn't quite awake enough to think much about it!
Grandpa C made a Christmas donut run while they played with new toys.
We got ready and loaded up to hit the road. But not before I was that annoying mom that wanted to capture a few Christmas day photos.
We had a peaceful ride to Stevens Point thanks to the Kindles and entertained ourselves by binge listening to Serial podcasts. The Krueger Christmas celebration was in full swing when we arrived. With almost 40 family members, it is an all day celebration of opening presents, eating, and of course visiting with Santa (a.k.a. whatever family member was roped into dressing up!).
And this year, Santa even provided sled ride entertainment behind his lawnmower!
