25/Dec/2013 – Merry Christmas
At 6:30 our kiddies were up and excited to see if Santa came while they were sleeping. Daddy went down stairs ahead of us to turn on the lights and yelled “Santa was here!” We couldn’t get downstairs fast enough. The morning totally zipped by as each one looked at the toys Santa left, looked through their stockings, and opened gifts. I took pictures of each one’s stash to remember what was given to them and the lucky kids got everything on their lists…and MORE!
Mommy and Daddy drank lots of coffee as we watched the kids go nuts over presents. I managed to capture a few pictures but left the camera down for the most part as we handed out gifts and played with the kids. It didn’t take long for everyone to get overwhelmed and fill three bags of garbage. We are very lucky.
A huge thanks to grandparents, uncles, aunts, godparents, and friends for such generosity, kindness, and thinking of us over the holidays. It certainly did not go unnoticed. We truly enjoyed Christmas with just us and our new home. Our first Christmas here was more than we could have asked for.
Uncle Dave and Monica came for a visit in the morning and played with toys with the kids for a while. They went back home to cook a turkey dinner while we napped. Before long I was on my way to their place with the two girls for dinner and a visit. It will forever be remembered as the visit where the stuffing looked like dog food and uncle Dave retched ahahaha. We did lots of FaceTime with Gramma and Grandpa to show them what everyone got. We saw Uncle Nat and Auntie Leia too! They spoiled Logie!
Today was a busy, chaotic, crazy-fun day. And we get to stay in pj’s and play all day tomorrow too!
Now for the pictures!
The kids’ stashes!
Merry Christmas. It looks like so much fun with four little ones. The super capes are neat.
