With snow falling outside, the temperatures hoovering in the low-30s, the Hecks have enjoyed our 2nd Christmas here in Alaska. We are truly blessed to be able to spend this holiday together and focus on family.
We said a finally goodbye to our Elf, Rumphy, who will now spend the rest of the year up at the North Pole with Santa and the rest of the Elves. The kids are already looking forward to him arriving next year for Christmas.
Thomas wrote this year's note to Santa - he took great pride in making sure it was perfect!
Waiting for Marilyn to wake up and the hot chocolate & coffee to be ready...
In true Thomas fashion, he wanted his picture taken with almost every present. I'm saving everyone the pain and just posting one... his Avengers masks that will most certainly get a lot of use with 2 sisters to join in the fun!
Marilyn sneaking around the backside to get a look under the tree.
I wonder if she was looking for the ones marked with her name only?
This blow up blue donkey (?) gave everyone, including Marilyn, quite a bit of laughs and giggles today as the kids bounced around the room chasing each other.
Racing
Abby almost immediately put on one of her new Tutu skirts and this pair of Abby Cadabby wings and proceeded to wear them A-L-L day long. I barely got them off of her at nap time.
This is so Abby.
The girls sporting some new knee high socks with matching shoes!
New Tablets, or "Pads" as the kids call them, took a little time for Daddy to personalize and customize...
... but they sure were a huge hit.
Matter of fact, Mommy & Daddy are thinking stealing them for ourselves (OK, maybe not, but they are definitely cool)!
A certain someone was even listening to music and playing some new word games on her very own "Pad" once everyone else was off and playing with other things. Oh, the power of technology.
And now my hubby and I are enjoying the peace and quiet after enjoying the squeals and giggles all throughout the day.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Alaska!
