Riley helped Mommy and Daddy clean the house before everyone arrived.
Then we sat down for some silly winter dress up time.
We put luminaries along the driveway to help Santa find his way to the tree. everyone joined us outside even though it was cold!

Hanging out with Uncle Peter after waking up.
By now everyone has headed off. The grandparents have all gone home and Uncle Peter has gone off to visit with Laura and her family for a few days. The house is quiet, but still a bit messy with all of the new toys that don't have homes to be put away to yet.
We decided that Christmas is more fun now watching Riley than it was being a kid. (Not that it wasn't great being a kid on Christmas, but this is even better!) Can't wait for next year when we'll have two!
