Christmas morning at our house was pretty calm. Sarah woke up first, then woke up Phoebe. Then they came into our bedroom quietly... I heard Sarah say to Phoebe, "You wake up Mommy and I'll wake up Daddy" as they both climbed up onto our bed. After waking us up we got Silas out of his crib and headed into the living room to see what Santa had left for us all. Phoebe's face was the BEST surprised face as she entered the living room and saw all five stockings filled. She even did a little gasp. (so cute!)
Both girls were eager to get the stockings down off the mantel and spill the contents out onto the floor.
Silas really had no idea what was going on, but was a very good boy, waiting his turn to take things out of his stocking and waiting to eat breakfast. (He is use to eating breakfast first thing after getting out of his crib.)
Socks, a Llama Llama book, Yogurt Drops, and Puffs for Silas. A stuffed cat and dog, candy, and the Little Mermaid cd for Phoebe.
A book, candy, Alvin and the Chipmunks dvd's, and the Frozen cd for Sarah.
Presents under the tree before we started unwrapping Christmas morning....
Silas was excited to unwrap this new Fisher Price Wheelies Disney Pixar Cars racetrack. (I knew he would love it!) As soon as Eric got it out of the box for him, he sat and played with it for a very long time before coming back to all of us and unwrapping some more of his presents, then going back to his racetrack again.
Sarah couldn't wait to find out what was in this big sack from Daddy and Mommy... It was lots of new clothes!
I got some great gifts too, jewelry, The Wolverine dvd, an autographed Pioneer Woman cookbook, a Casting Crowns and Kenny Rogers cd.
Phoebe got a couple of new small figure playsets. (She loves little figures and more times than not, picks to play with them during the daytime.)
Silas was excited to get a package of more cars for his racetrack!
Eric was happy with his gifts too, even though every year he tells us he doesn't need any gifts.... He got a WII game from Sarah, and the game Headbanz Disney version from Phoebe, gum from Silas, a book and devotional, a dvd, and cologne.
The tags below were all on packages to me from Eric. (He thinks he is so funny. What is even more funny is when I would be about to open a package and he would say, "who is that one from", prompting me to read the tags out loud. So we could both get a good laugh at his creativity.)
And, lastly another good laugh... as we played Headbanz for the first time. This game ended up being a little tough for Phoebe to play, but Sarah quickly got the hang of it.
Another great Christmas is in the books. Here's to many more with my happy little family. Thank you each for all the love and laughs on this Christmas morning. I love you each more than you will ever know.
