Christmas Morning

After a late night at the Slawin's, Ryan and I came home, put the kids to bed and got everything set up for Christmas morning....I mean, we helped Santa get ready.  ;)

We put the presents under the tree and hung the stockings.  

Side note: I am waiting to buy matching stockings until we are done having kids.  

That way I can buy them all at one time.  Until then, these will do.  They get the job done. 

Joe was the first up on Christmas morning at around 6:30AM.  I thought for sure Owen would be up bright and early too, but after staying up super late the night before he decided to sleep in until after 8:00AM.  That is unheard of for him!  I was so anxious for him

to get up because this was the first year he truly understood Santa.  I could hardly wait

for him to come down and see all the presents.  Of course the one morning I wanted him

to get up early was the morning he slept extra late.  

Once he woke up though, he was so excited.  He slowly came down the stairs and said 

"Oh, presents"  The paused and calmly said "That is fun."  He ran directly to the stockings

and started checking out what was inside.  Then he and Joe quickly moved to

the presents.  It didn't take them long to rip through everything.  

The light up globe stocking stuffers turned out to be a big hit. 

And Santa definitely delivered on Owen's wish for race cars.

 

 

Overall I'd say Santa was pretty good to these two little guys.

And Santa knows how to take care of Mrs. Clause too.

I truly am the luckiest girl in the world.  I have an amazing, sweet, thoughtful husband

and two of the sweetest kids on earth.  What a great start to one of my favorite holidays.
