We had such a fun Christmas morning! Emma woke up first and started down the hallway so we had to call her to come in to our room. She didn’t want to stay with us very much, so Lennard ended up going in and waking Benny up. They were both VERY excited to see presents under the tree and immediately started pulling stuff out. We had a hard time convincing them to wait a bit. Emma opened the DVD of Cinderella and was extremely happy.
Emma got a kitchen set from Santa Claus and both kids were enamoured with it. We couldn’t get Ben to look at any more presents for quite a while. They both loved it! Then Emma opened a box of dress-up clothes from Grandpa and we were set! She had to try them on immediately!
We finally pried Ben away from the kitchen when he discovered that he got a new truck! He wanted it opened immediately! As for Lennard and me… we had said that we weren’t buying anything big this year because of our flight to the Maritimes in July. I stuck to the agreement pretty well. I’d got Lennard a Subway gift card. Then it came time for Lennard’s gift to me… apparently I had bought him a gift (aka: he bought something and I put my name on it saying it was from me)… he opened his card first and read it out loud, “A one year subscription to Foreflight!”. It took me about 3 seconds to clue in to what was in my present… You can’t have a Foreflight subscription without an iPad! I KNEW he would go overboard!
Ben got a tool table from Santa Claus and both kids were enthralled with it. Emma had to try on another outfit between opening presents.
After everything was opened, we took a minute to have the traditional Christmas picture in front of the tree. The kids definitely got spoiled this year, but they loved every single gift they got.
The rest of the afternoon we just hung out and played. It was great! Lennard showed of ‘my’ iPad to his dad and then the kids ‘pulled’ him in the sled. It was so nice just to sit back and relax.
The evening we went out to mom and dad’s again and had dinner with my parents and a bunch of my siblings. It was a nice way to finish off the day.
