As usual, I was up bright and early on Christmas morning, anxiously awaiting when I could actually rouse the rest of the household. For the first time ever, though, the kids were ALSO up early. In year's past, we've always had to wake them up on Christmas morning. This year, we heard them whispering; then the light went on, and they stayed in bed reading until they were allowed to get up. Finally, they match my Christmas morning enthusiasm!
Everyone got to open a few presents before breakfast, and then the opening continued after. Every year, I think Santa is going to cut down on the number of gifts. He tries; he really does...but then he finds such great bargains on fun little stocking stuffers that he simply can't help himself!
Nana and Popsie even got a little spoiled by Santa this year: seasonings and kitchen utensils, new Christmas Vacation glasses, candy, and more!
Keva planks were a new twist on the building toy. James and Brady spent a long time building this long ramp; these planks have been a big hit!
The weather was nice enough to get outside and try Rudy's koosh toy and to run off some energy. Oma and Papa joined us in the afternoon for an amazing feast: prime rib roast, mashed potatoes, candied apples, fruit salad, green salad, yorkshire pudding, asparagus.
