This was a very exciting Christmas. Each year has gotten better and better with the kids. Luke was in full swing throughout the whole Christmas season, Brady followed in his footsteps (as always), and Owen...
So, you can imagine what the night before Christmas was like at our house.
Brady was riding Luke's excitement waves.
Luke was creating enough excitement waves for the whole family!
Owen was ready for bed since it was already 2 hours past his bedtime. He would cheer up once he had a little sleep under his belt.
We did the traditional night before Christmas checklist.
- put on our Christmas PJ's- check
-Feed the reindeer- check
- Check the Santa tracker- check
- put out some cookies & milk for Santa- check
- turn on a Christmas movie and do your best to calm down....well, almost a check
Then!!! Santa CAME!!! He left this huge brown paper sack and tied it with Christmas ribbons...
He ate all of his goodies :)
or, someone ate the goodies ;)
Christmas Morning
The boys woke up extra early ready to tear into their gifts. I stopped to remember that excitement, and it came back to me clear as day. I can remember how long it would take my parents to come downstairs, start the coffee, get the video camera rolling, start the Christmas music....it took FOREVER before we could finally see what Santa had left. I try not to take forever but their are things that need to be done in order to set everything up just as so and I am sure it seems like an eternity to the kids.
The boys opened that big brown bag and found that Santa had filled it with red balloons and at the bottom was their gifts. Brady and Luke got Leap pads and Owen got a leapster phone. I am pretty sure they experienced pure Christmas joy or at least I hope so.
Then we headed over to Grammy & Papas to have Christmas with them and it was more gifts galore!
Grammy got this sweet new puppy for Christmas!
We spent the whole day with family. Lunch with the Wilsons and dinner with the Allens. Doesn't get much better than that!
