Christmas Day. What fun was had by all! The kids didn't wake up too early which was appreciated. However, it didn't really matter as neither Josh nor I enjoyed a good night sleep. I think we were both too excited to see our toddlers' reactions to what Santa would bring them. We were not disappointed. Madilyn enjoyed the entire experience -- running into the family room to see what Santa delivered, opening her presents, opening her brother's presents, and opening anyone's present who needed help. This Christmas we did learn one lesson though, it is a little torturous to expect toddlers to open present after present without the ability to play with each one inbetween. Madi and Aiden would open a gift and then want us to open it for them so they could play. They had a couple of play breaks, but at times, we had to conjole the kids to finish opening all of their presents. Aunt Alisha joined us for breakfast and some more present unwrapping. After every gift was opened at our house, we moved the festivities to my parents' house to exchange gifts with them. We spent the rest of the day opening gifts followed by an amazing prime rib dinner with Oma and Alisha. The evening concluded with a competitive game of Mexican Train dominoes. We are very blessed to have had such a prosperous holiday surrounded by those we love.
