Christmas Morning

As you can imagine when having three young children, Christmas morning was SO much fun! Adam and I actually woke up first and stayed in bed until the kids finally woke up around 7:30. We saw Alec and Aaron sneaking by our bedroom door, looking down into the living room at the Christmas tree. We called them into our bedroom and they came in running yelling, "Santa came! Santa came!!" We got Ashley up and all went down the stairs together. The first thing that the boys did was to go over and inspect the cookies and milk to see if they were gone. They were of course!

After looking at the cookies we led the kids into the family room to check out the stockings. As they dug thru their stockings (sees candy, flashlights, tape measure's, etc.) I made Ashley a bottle. We then moved onto the "big" presents under the tree. Santa brought the boys a Millennium Falcon from Starwars and Ashley a beautiful baby doll as well as a few other gifts. Something special that we do for the kids every other year (every year would be too much) is make a plate for them using a photo from that year on Discountphotogifts.com. They loved opening their plates! When we were almost done opening Adam brought out a gift from behind the tree for the family. I opened it and it was a Wii!!! I wanted one SO bad!!! He then brought out another gift and it was Wii Fit!! YEAH!!! FUN FUN!!! It took every ounce of restraint to not run and hook it up right at that moment!

After gifts and setting up the boys Millennium Falcon I made breakfast burritos for breakfast then we got ready and headed over to my parents house for our family Christmas celebration.
