We made our annual trek to Tahoe this year to wait for Santa. This year, however, there was no snow. But, we had plenty to keep us occupied between trips to the mall in Reno and visits to the Discovery Center Kids Zone. We had a great week. The boys are big believers and it made the holiday so much fun. We made cookies and a gingerbread house and watched lots of "Frosty the Snowman" and "Rudolf" movies.
We let the boys open presents from Grumpy and Jean a little early so they would have some new toys to play with during the long week of anticipation...they loved their new dinosaur train and hot wheels jump the shark track.
Then, on the big day they received lots of amazing gifts from Santa and family. Malcolm specifically asked Santa for walkie talkies so, after every gift that the opened he would say, "that's not walkie talkies, where are my walkie talkies." Luckily he did get them, they just happened to be the last gift he opened. They also received costumes (astronaut for Malcolm, SWAT team for Wyatt), new scooters and helmets from Giggen, lego sets from Sean and Tiff and a few other toys. Their big gift this year was a knight castle and I would say they were not disappointed. They played with it for hours and still do.
This year Jason took the boys out to buy Christmas gifts for their mama. He told them they could select anything from Rite Aid. Wyatt selected some beautiful, white Christmas tree candles and Malcolm selected a camping lantern, green, "I wuv green, its my favorite color!" he says. I love it too.
