Wow, it's almost a month after Christmas, and I still haven't blogged... sorry all you far away relatives! This was definitely the best Christmas yet! G had such a hard time falling asleep on Christmas Eve, squeezing his eyes shut, willing himself to sleep. He raced upstairs on Christmas morning around 7 a.m, ran into his baby sister's room and woke her up. He tried shouting downstairs to L, but she wasn't in any mood to get up yet... went to their room and told her to wake up (forgetting to mention that Santa had visited), and she yelled at him ("G, I just want to sleep more!"). Once he went back down and told her that Santa had come, she ran upstairs with him. As usual, G was thrilled by the letter from Santa, and so was L. They emptied their stockings first, and were especially excited by the wall*e and eve action figures they found inside. M was thrilled with her glitter glue. Then they opened their presents from Santa. Like the past few Christmases, G said "A wall*e Leapster game, JUST what I wanted!" He also got a mini air-hockey table from Santa. L was thrilled with her Sleeping Beauty horse and carriage, and her princess pony. M was thrilled with a Little People house.
G was excited to give us the gifts that he bought for us on a special shopping trip with Nita. He bought his daddy a great tie (aside from the zipper closure), me a beaded bracelet, L a Sleeping Beauty watch, and M a painting book. I was so impressed by the care that he took in choosing special gifts that he thought we would all like.
We spent the rest of the day playing. Grandma and Grandpa came over from brunch, and then we opened more presents. L was especially excited about her Sleeping Beauty bedding (are you sensing a theme yet?). We watched a movie, played some more, and made supper. It was the perfect day (except for missing all of you far away family!).
