Opening presents Christmas morning. We spread them out over the day so the kids wouldn't get too overwhelmed. Sylvie didn't understand why there weren't more when she stopped.
It was a fun morning and the kids had a great time. It was their first Christmas they really understood that something was going on.
Archie and his guitar, shaped like a dog. He loves it!
Archie with Santa at school. It was the first with Santa. He chatted with him and told him about the letter we wrote to him.
Archie decided to wrap himself. You can see his feet sticking out! He really liked wrapping presents and it was fun having the kids involved.
And the right after the holiday, we had a great amount of snow. The kids had a great time building snowmen with Daddy.
I enjoyed the fun from the warmth of the kitchen. This was their first snow to play in.
We were a little unprepared with the footwear. So Archie is wearing boots that are meant for Sylvie in another year or two. He doesn't even notice that pink is for girls. He calls them his boots!
View from our window.
We spent a morning in Rotterdam to visit the maritime museum. They have a great kids area and we had a great time with the kids. Outside at the canal there are old boats and cranes from the old shipyards. A kid's dream!
View back to the museum from the docks.
It was so windy and really cold but we had a great time walking around. We would have explored a bit more but we were tired and a little cold.
And then we had a nap in the afternoon to end the day of fun.
Next up will be the start of January and school for the kids. It will be Sylvie's switch to the Nursery class with Archie. A big step for everyone!
