Christmas Event 5: Christmas Morning!


Abby could barely contain herself this morning when she woke up. I told her that we had to wait until Daddy and baby Trey woke up before we could go downstairs. So she promptly went into our room and told Jerry to "get up, it's Christmas!". Then we went to Trey's room to wake him up (I hate doing that!), and I fed him while she bounced around his room with ants in her pants. Finally, it was time to go downstairs. She saw that Santa had been there and eaten his cookies and drank his milk (good job Santa!) and wanted to start handing out presents ASAP. She figured out that all the ones in Princess paper were for her and she, in her OCD fashion, opened one at a time, putting all the paper into a pile. Trey was mostly interested in finding something to put in his mouth, he's got two more teeth close to breaking through. Once the gifts were done it was stocking time and boy was that a big hit....there were MORE PRESENTS inside! The sparkly lip gloss seemed to be the winner out of there. Trey was ready to go back to bed as soon as the unwrapping was done and Abby is now having some quiet time with Jerry on the couch before we get dressed and head over to the Gardner house for more gifts. I think there's going to be a big let-down when all the Christmas hoopla is over! And we also got a nice surprise with some beautiful (and heavy) snowfall this morning. Merry Christmas to all of you!!!!


my favorite gift of all!

Sounds like you had a nice Christmas morning! We were at my parents and really enjoyed a quiet and fun morning with the boys and my parents! Gabe's favorite gift was a guitar we bought him...he was mostly dissapointed the whole time he was opening gifts because he wanted a guitar SO bad!! Fun times!!! ~Kristen
