Merry Christmas

Taylor and Peyton woke up around 8:30a.m., opened Santa's gifts, inspected Santa's trail....he left the fireplace screen half opened and there were a few crumbs on his cookie plate. They were thrilled to each receive a remote control car. Santa even knew how much they enjoyed Walt Disney World because he brought them a miniature Cinderella's Castle (a.k.a. "A Disney Dollhouse") and a Monorail (no regular train with tracks....this is the infamous elevated Disney train).

They were so caught up in the moment that Taylor assumed her breakfast was cookie crumbs. She ate what Santa forgot to lick off the plate!



We got to Grandma and Grandpa Wu's about an hour later and enjoyed a delicious breakfast with the family. Following breakfast we exchanged gifts. Somehow how gifts grew in size and quantity by the time we left and packed up our van. I attempted to take a "cousin photo" after breakfast but this was the best I could do:




We headed over to Gung Gung and Papa's around 4p.m. Santa dropped off a ride-on golf cart for Peyton and Taylor at their house. Cousin Colleen enjoyed sitting in the driver's seat and touching lots of buttons. The horn has 4 sounds, one is "It's A Small World" which brought a grin to Peyton's face.





Patrick is Peyton's driver. I think that she knows he is a veteran when it comes to operating these motorized vehicles so she handed him the keys. They cruise around the basement for quite a while. As they passed by, Peyton would smile and wave as though she was part of a parade or something. Patrick enjoyed activating the TURBO booster. Here they are after the cruising:
