Christmas Highlights
We have a new tradition on Christmas morning. We hang a sign on the stairs telling the kids they can open one present before we get up. That makes them happy and lets us sleep past 6 AM :)
One of our other traditions is the boys make breakfast for the girls. We had cinnamon toast, French toast, scrambled eggs and fried cheesy potatoes.
The gift highlight was the Play Station we got for Parker. We had him open the Play Station games first. He has a Nintendo so he thought we got him the wrong kind of games. The disappointment on his face was palpable! It was killing us but we played along. We told him we'd have to exchange them. We then took turns open gifts based on age but we couldn't wait to get back to Parker because his disappointment was breaking our hearts. It was the longest two minutes of the year! We finally got back to him and he opened the Play Station. He did one of his infamous "flying leaps" into my arms. That is his way of saying thank you. And he said, "That was ingenious."
Summer's favorite gift was a Fur Real Dog she named "Fluffy." She also got some Doll desks so she can play school.
And Josiah got his laser gun and light saber! For what it's worth, Josiah makes noises all day every day! Our other kids made noises, but Josiah is the Sound Effect King. He does a mean light saber and laser gun noise :)
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night :)
