This little girl woke up at 3am and tip toed into our room…is it time to open gifts??
Yawn, nope, go back to bed.
4am, tip toe in, can I open my stocking??
Double yawn, no, not yet.
5:15, a bit of a stompy tip toe, NOW??
Sigh, yes but just your stocking, you know we are waiting for Uncle Brian to come over.
fast forward, very slowly to 9am. UB arrives!! Yay!!
Then we ate breakfast.
Seriously this is 8 year old girl torture time.
Finally we were ready to hit the living room and the over flowing tree.
Everyone was really happy with their gifts. Santa, who gets none of the credit in our house FYI, did a good job!
Some favorites:
Ethan, new soccer cleats, legos, and x box One. Although I was surprised because he spent all day putting together his lego sets and didn't play video games at all.
Lucy Ballerina got lots of craft kits. That's what she loves. She made brackets, and decorated a jewelry box and worked on making a pillow. She wore her red Christmas nightie all day and fell asleep while I was reading her a story in bed before I had finished even one chapter. She said "this was the best Christmas ever!".
Hannah: has played her ukelele all day long and is getting pretty good! She also loved her boots and clothes and other gifts.
Rob gave me some beautiful emerald earrings and necklace, so sweet! and really we were all super spoiled, as usual.
We enjoyed skyping with the kids and grands in Utah and hanging out and eating a most delicious dinner.
It was a successful Christmas day.
