There is one downside to being a parent to young children on Christmas Eve. You stay up so late trying to get everybody to settle down, that it is difficult to wake up in the morning. I told everyone the night before that we weren't going to open any presents until after 8:00 and not until everyone had eaten a good breakfast. I said this without any faith that it would actually happen, but look at this picture! There is sunlight streaming through the windows and presents are still waiting to be unwrapped. It is possible, children do actually sleep in on Christmas morning! Especially when all hope of opening presents early is dashed by their stubborn mother. They believe me more than I do. The kids enjoyed their presents very much, and spent every spare moment playing with them. We were lucky enough to be able to have Grandma A spend Christmas with us this year. And after lunch we were able to go to Grandma MaryAnn's and visit her for a few hours. It was a wonderful Christmas.
In the background of this picture, if you look hard enough, you can see a Wii box. It has a tag on it that says. "To Nikki, from Santa. You have been a very good kitty." We love that Santa decided to give the Wii to our cat because every time we hear fighting over it we tell our kids that they shouldn't fight over Nikki's toy, because they are lucky that she is letting them play with it at all. It works like a charm.
Hannah and Grandma A. Spent hours putting together Hannah's playmobil "Animal care center." Hannah was in heaven.
Maddie still gets her big Christmas toy out every day and tells me how much she loves it. Good job Santa.
I didn't take a picture of it, but Lucy got some princesses and a little castle, and Johnny got an awesome playmobil dragon. He was a little sad that he didn't get a toy that had a million little pieces like Hannah did. We'll see, maybe for his birthday, but in the meantime he has really enjoyed Nikki's Wii. I love Johnny's Sponge Bob P.J.'s he looks so cute in them.
