Merry, Merry Christmas!

It looks like Santa found our house! I'm usually sitting here waiting for the kids to wake up, not this year. Jeffrey came into my bedroom and said, "Mom, Santa came! We have to get up!" It was totally cute. He went in and woke Hannah up too. The kids are always so funny though when they walk out and see everything. It's like they are excited, but overwhelmed and don't really know what to do. They all just laid down for a minute and stared at their presents. Then Jeffrey said, okay let's open some presents! Hannah was kind of a little stinker at first. When she opened her first Barbie she said, this isn't the Barbie I asked for! At some point she found some number flashcards in her stocking. She was excited until I mentioned practicing her numbers. She then proceeded to drop them and kick them under the couch. Then there is Jeffrey who is just so thankful for everything, including the pack of underwear in his stocking. Jeffrey opened a Wii controller, not knowing there was a Wii console too. I said, that's weird, I wonder why Santa would bring a Wii controller when we don't even have a Wii? Jeffrey, being the sweet child that he is, said, that's okay we'll just save it until we get a Wii. Of course, they were both excited when they opened the Wii. Anyway, Hannah eventually warmed up and was thankful for the Barbies, and the Barbie cash register, and the games and clothes and shoes. Jeffrey loved all of his Lego Ninjago stuff and his Boba Fett costume and gun. Grayson was happy to be a part of all of the excitement. Santa brought him some fun toys too.


And can I just say, Merry, Merry Christmas to me!! Jeff surprised me with this awesome camera. Don't expect anything amazing from me just yet though. I still have to learn how to use it. I'll tell you what though, the few pictures we have taken with it look amazing.
