Christmas morning the kids woke up and were as excited as we could have hoped. Aunt Staci spent the night, so it was fun to have her join us. We haven't gotten too technical about the whole Santa thing, so at this point the presents are all just under the tree. Carter and Serena had bought gifts for each other and Aleeya, but the rest were a mixture of gifts from Mom and Dad and the jolly guy.
Serena said, "Thank you, Swoopie!" Swoopie is the elf that has been in our home all of December. Carter named him because he swoopes home every night to tell Santa if the kids are being good. Each day he hides in a different place, so it has been a morning ritual to look for him. Christmas morning he was on top of the piano so that he could see how happy the kids were.
Carter wanted a Nintendo DS, but we had convinced him that he was too young. All of his friends that had them are at least eight. The look on his face was awesome and he said "I knew I would get one!" I guess we hadn't convinced him.
See the speed and skill in un-wrapping presents!
